Life or the Purpose


I asked my God,
The way to the township.
God asked me to doubly check,
Whether I want to know the way
To The Graveyard or
To the township?
I felt the question was bizarre.
But my God told the truth that cannot be denied...
Daily the living die in the township.
But the graveyard remains the same,
No one subtracts there,
But  only adds.
The sun that rises ,
Also goes down.
The dead cells grow out in the body,
In the form of hair and nails.
We chop them out,
Without causing the pain.
But when we try to segregate the living organs,
It causes immense pain.
The truth remains,
The cycle of death starts
The day we are born.
We are dying everyday .
We died yesterday.
We will die tomorrow.
Are we living or dying everyday?
The thoughts we carried as a child,
We no longer hold.
The thoughts too wither away.
Everything and everyone is dying.
Did we ever live since the time we took birth ?
When we are not living but dying every moment,
Then why we discuss about the purpose of life ?
Let us turn inward,
And start living now itself,
It is not too late,
To stop dying but to start living.
The day we are born , that day onwards we start dying.
We haven’t even sniffed the fragrance of life,
It is not too late,
Start living...
I thanked my god and stopped searching for the purpose,
but for life itself.

  1. We need a true n honest soul within us to live and not to die every sec, every minute, every hour...
    And apart from us being true n honest, we need surroundings soul also being true and human with us to live n not die!!

    1. We humans start preparing for death the moment we are born , the social conditioning around us is the culprit , we never started living since the time we are born and additionally start looking for the purpose of life. Instead of the purpose we all should start living first. Thanks for your invaluable comments 🙏
