Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Dear All, This is from an old Bhavan's journal and I thought it explained life and time very well and makes us think about the fast moving kaalachakram. " What is Life? What is life: Some say life is a struggle. Some say life is worship. Others think life is a vale of tears. But what exactly is the basic definition of life? Life is nothing but Time. It is an existence between two terminals—coming into birth and shedding of the body. In whatever way this period is spent, this period is exhausted. This process of exhausting a period is life. What does it actually consist of? Time wasted or utilised? What is time made up? Time is made up of seconds, hours, days, months and years. Life is an aggregate of moments. Therefore, it is a most important treasure that man has got in his possession. It is greater than a diamond. Without this, all the treasures of these worlds are nothing. Therefore, the most precious thing we have got is time. The proper utilisation of time is the best purpose of life. Utilise Time Well Therefore, the proper utilisation of this stuff of life, namely, moments, is of the utmost importance to one and all and infinitely more so to the spiritual aspirant for whom the highest purpose of life has become known. The greater the value of the thing, the more important is the prize of achievement. Time or life is therefore a gift from God. To him who utilises his life in the proper divine way, God gives His Eternal Treasure- Aanandam. Regards and prayers Savitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
