Poem by Neeraj – Jeevan jo katna tha kat gaya...
That set me thinking as I was looking at the body – oblivious to all the chatter happening around it. The ‘prana’ life which sustained it had left it and am sure wouldn’t want to linger around after being set free of this limitation called the body. It has broken the ‘shackles of confinement in this body’ and let itself loose and free.
Would it matter if its life was a good one or bad?
Did it wait to look at the balance sheet of this life?
It just moved on.
It lived and it let go when the time came.
It set itself free through a process called death.
It came, lived the way it chose to (good or bad, right or wrong) and then blended into the ‘Dao’ (Universal Energy) and yet the people assigned so many values to it. But to the spirit that lived and moved on, do these values make a difference, I wondered!
Do we analyse unnecessarily where we need to find an excuse to heal ourselves or to work on our way of living and attitudes? Why do we do it if we are doing it? Is it because analysing is easier than changing ourselves for better?
Now read the poem once again and may be you’ll understand it better. I have given the meaning of ‘hard words’ at the end of the poem for your ease and then get back to me.....
