A man of wisdom – the
Village Chief
(Mr. Laakhaa Phoolaani)
declares for the man of
resources that please
distribute the riches (for
the good/ for the needy)
as the life is only of Eight-
Ten days and shall fly
away very soon.

The wife of the Chief
(Raani) while gently
objecting says that my
Husband talks too far from
the truth of life, as the
people who found dancing
and enjoying the previous
night could not see the
sun rise of the next day!
This is life.

The daughter of the Chief
(Kunwari) protested strongly
and said my father was far-
far away from the truth and
my mother too compared the
past night with the next day
morning is still too far from
the truth of life. What life will
be during the blink of an eye;
nobody Knows.

The maid servant (Daasi)
politely explained the very
fact of life while saying that
her master, his wife and the
loving daughter all of them
missed the fact of life in their
own way. The fact of life is –
the breath is an unscheduled
visitor, it may or may not
come.

c to ry P ro

The fact of life is – the
breath is an unscheduled
visitor, it may or may not
come. What to talk of
eight-ten days,
night/morning or the blink
of an eye; even the blink
will not be possible
without the breath. This is
the real truth of life, and
that too is an auto
function governed by the
supreme power; not in the
control of the mortal
human being.

A story says:
A wealthy man was told by
the Healers of all walks
that now the stage has
reached where their
method of treating is of no
avail.

The moment he listens
this declaration, he started
trembling and was ready
to pay any amount or do
anything for the person
who shows the ray of hope
to survive!
c to ry P ro

No mortal being wants to
well-come his death or
even wish to die.

Out of the blues he came
to know about my abilities
which can help him
survive.

I was called upon to do
the best at any cost so
that he survives.

c to ry P ro

I told him that he will have
to do one work to survive,
the rest responsibility to
keep him alive will be
mine.

His eyes dazzled in the
hope to survive. He
happily declared that he is
ready to do that work,
come what may. Please
tell me quickly!

c to ry P ro

I told him with all possible
poise at my command–
Sir, please continue
inhaling and exhaling
without any fail, the rest I
will take care of to keep
you alive!

We all laugh here! Because
this is not the way of teasing
the departing mortal being; is
not it? Yes! The first reaction
of all of us would be similar.

c to ry P ro

But, my dear friends! with
listening the advise given
to that wealthy man
conveys a very subtle
truth of life that we
encounter only for the first
time in our life that it is
not we, who inhale and
exhale but it is a pure and
simple auto function. Not
with in the control of a
mortal human being.

c to ry P ro

We are taught in the
schools by the English
Teacher as the Universal
truth:

“The Sun rises in the East”.

Taught as the universal truth
which is the biggest untruth
we can ever say, we all know
that the Sun never rises, it is
our planet Earth that rotates
towards the Sun.

c to ry P ro

We say “I am breathing”.

Is the biggest untruthful
sentence, as now we are
aware that breathing is an
auto function and not in
the control of a mortal
human being.

We should humbly say
“Breath is coming and
going” not be mislead by
this statement that “I am
breathing.”

c to ry P ro

If this truth is perceived in
the real sense then there will
be no nonsense in the
behaviour of ours.

We will be more humble,
humane, modest in our life
and that is the goal of being
human.

The American Philosopher
Professor Will Durant declares
in the following prophetic
way:

c to ry P ro

The very first lesson of
History is
Modesty
Because the planet on which
We inhabit is a
Tiny spot in this
Infinite Universe
And the word
Ephemeral
Used for our existence
Is also an
Exaggeration.
-- Will Durant

c to ry P ro

Conveys the same that our
existence is much smaller
than momentary (the breath
may come or may not come
we can never be sure!)

Conveying the same what we
find in our Rajasthani Folk
Wisdom Couplets.

Folk wisdom and the highest
of study shake hands here!

c to ry P ro

Friends!

My request with folded hands:

Please opt for
Modesty,
Have
Humble and Humane
Behaviour
To live the life of a
Human being . . .as we are now
sure that the breath is an un-
scheduled visitor may come, may
not come . . .

-- Dr. Ashok Bohra “Anitya”
