Telugu Poem by Sri Sri....


ఈ జన్మను సద్వినియోగం 
చేసుకోకుండా ,
లేని జన్మను గురించి 
ఆలోచించడం అజ్ఞ్యానం ..... శ్రీ శ్రీ 

Meaning : Instead of utilising this life, to think and plan for unseen life is stupidity....

This clearly is the thought of a 'realist' person. But does that mean that we have to have fun and frolic for there is only this life to live? No. Certainly not. He means that it is better to live in 'now' than be in the dream world dreaming and wanting something to happen in future. ' Now' is not the way a person filled with passion would interpret but a 'now' means that 'now' of the Zen i.e., living in the moment. We postpone being happy because we condition our happiness based on an event or conditions conducive for that. But that 'future' never ever happens. 

As we are working towards our future, we should also enjoy working for the future. That is the 'now' he is talking about! Happiness is not 'in the destination' but 'in the journey'...

Instead of living 'this life' most of the people plan for 'next life' or the life in heaven and work to enjoy a good place in this 'assumed next life ' of their's. The poet says that is stupid. Because, logically too if I am postponing living now to then, then that would be energy generated by me and would end up living that result even in future meaning I'll end up postponing living for ever!

Think about it!
