Let's say you are told about the time of your death or are aware of exactly when you will die, what will you do with your life...?
better yet if you know that you will die in exactly 10 hours, what will you do then?
Have you ever thought about your existence coming to an end?
Have you ever thought that are there any signs you can identify when you will die?
Have you ever wondered why certain things happen to you, what is destiny or even what is law of karma which is also known as law of cause and effect?
And if you do talk about this, you would wonder do you really control over your life or not?
Now if you are indeed looking for deeper questions of life or the secret of life, it needs some introspection.
You should be aware of how to practice introspection.
Why is it that there are different stages in life, childhood, teenage, adulthood, parenthood, old-age and then death.
Even in Hinduism you will find the concept laid down by great Rishi Munis, about the how a soul goes through different stages in life and what needs to be done then.
Why is it so?
Why should you have a purpose in life?
or even why should you work?
The short answer is that you are going to die.
And you don't know when.
You can plan just about anything in life but you can never know when you will die.
You can even plan what your family will get after your death but you can NEVER know when you will die.
So you need to have a purpose in life.
To make your existence worthwhile you should have an aim.
And to accomplish anything in life you must have a purpose
The purpose comes only when you realise how short your life is and you can die any moment.
Who knows if you will even see your next birthday or not...
So as I said, if you know you will die in 10 hours, there are certain things you would do.
Now why do i say these specific things is because these are planned by people over years preparing for the eventuality but even then they fall short.
Because they never introspected about life, death and their karmas.
So there are namely 3 things you will do;
1. sort your relations and forgive people because you know there is no time left. You will mend your relations so that you leave good memories behind.
2. you will fix your finances and learn of any debts.
3. you will pray and think about God because you know your fate rests in God's hand.
But in doing all this you forget one crucial thing... you cleared your relations and financial records but missed out on this one thing that actually holds your fate in the balance.
It decides what you will be born in the next life.
And those are your KARMAS... for they hold the true power to write your fate.
The very acts of mending your relations, finances and remembering God are part of good karmas, but how much can those good karmas you do in those last 10 hours negate the effect of a lifetime of ignorance and bad karmas?
In that sense your fate is sealed.
The secret here is that you are not even aware of death 10 seconds prior, so how will you even do all these things?
good karmas bring good results and good fortune. Only good karmas have the power to bring you back as a human in the next birth.
I have explained about rebirth in one of my earlier videos.
So since you don't know when you will die, it's better to act as if you only have minutes to die and spend your life doing good karmas. Karmas mentioned in the shaastras are the guide to a good life.
One where you fulfil the ultimate purpose of attaining enlightenment.
So spend every second of your life doing good karmas, serving the society, doing mantra jap. For all this adds up in your balance sheet of life which is checked when you die and which decides your next life.
