Who should we fear in our life?
Good morning friends,
As we go along in our lives,
Who should we fear the most?
Is it okay to fear the elements,
Or should we fear some ghost?
Do we fear the animals,
Especially those that’re wild?
Or should we fear monsters,
That have been unduly riled?
Are we to fear the future,
And what for us it’d hold?
Should we fear, when young,
Of becoming disabled or old?
You have nothing at all to fear,
When God is there with you;
No situation can ever scare you,
When He guides you through.
Darkness fades and shadows clear,
When God gives you His light;
No wrongs can obstruct your way,
When God leads you to the right.
When everyone else forsakes you,
He’s the only friend you require;
Like Arjuna with Krishna at the helm,
You go unscathed through the fire.
With God as your charioteer, you fear no one.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

How Simply You have expressed The World should not be burning,
and neither any Individual.

There goes the story of Bhagavatam recited by Sukhdev Muni to Raja Parikshit who was Cursed to die on the 8th Day by the bite of तक्षक Snake.
महरिशी सुखदेव की 7 दिन की भागवत कथा के बाद परीक्षित को पूर्ण ज्ञान हो गया की आत्मा अमर है और शरीर तीन काल मरण धर्मा है,
परीक्षित ने कहा
शरीर जाएगा मैं नहीं क्योंकि मेरा कभी नाश नहीं होता, मैं अमर आत्मा हूं, सत चित्त आनंद हूं
.
महात्मा मंगत राम ने इस विषय में कहा..
कथा विचारे वेदांती,
देवें अनक भांत प्रमाण,
ब्रह्म सत्यम तत्त रूप का निंरणा करें बखान ।।
One of the disciples of Lao Tse, a Chinese philosopher died.
He went to the disciples house where his dead body was kept and the family was crying, Lao Tse asked loudly, “Is he dead or alive?”
to the surprise of people obviously, as the dead body is lying right in front, how can Lao Tse ask such a question.
After minute a silence, someone from Disciple’s family said to Lao Tse,
“You please tell, is He dead or Alive
One who was Dead is Dead and one who was Alive is still Alive,
the only difference is that the connection between the two is broken.

जीवन की कोई मृत्यु नहीं होती और मृतक का कोई जीवन ही नहीं होता
जीवन को जो नहीं जानता वह मृत्यु को ही जीवन का अंत कहने लगता है
जन्म जीवन का आरंभ नहीं है और मृत्यु जीवन का अंत नहीं है
जीवन जन्म और मृत्यु के बाहर भी है और भीतर भी वह जन्म से पहले भी है और जन्म के बाद भी.

Guru Nanak Sahib was travelling with his disciples Bala Ji and Mardana Ji, in his ecstatic state, Guru Saheb asked the disciples
what do you think of death? How far is it
After thinking for a while Bala Ji sad

सच्चे पातशाह जी आज का सूरज वेख्या है कल का सूरज दिखेगा या नहीं,
पता नहीं
Mardana Ji said
दिन दी रोटी नसीब हुई है, रात दी रोटी खान वस्ते रहेंगे कि नहीं
कुछ पता नहीं
.
Guru Sahib the life is just in a breadth and death is just a Breath Away
.
हमें आदमी इसीलिए कहा गया
आ + दमी
क्योंकि एक सांस या दम भर का खेल है दम बाहर आया तो आदमी,
नहीं आया तो मुर्दा
बस इतनी ही बड़ी जिंदगी है जबकि जिंदगी का सारा सामान और उम्मीदें इतनी है
कि 100 साल भी कम पड़े
सामान सौ बरस का पल की खबर नहीं
.
एक मरना मन याद रख
दूजे साहिब की याद।
तीजे ने की याद रख
मंजूर होवे फरियाद।।
.
There is a common phrase in Hindi
.
सैंया भए कोतवाल अब डर काहे का
.
Indeed when the Supreme Lord ( सैंया ) is the guide, leading the way,
There is nothing to fear, Not even an iota, Not Even Death.
