My Most Revered Teachers
For me, the most revered teachers in the contemporary world are Cremation Ground, Emergency Ward of the hospital and Preschool.
Cremation ground illuminates how the persons walking perpendicular, proud of their power, wealth and beauty, lick the dust finally. They have to be brought horizontally. All the human beings, irrespective of their stature, become identical in the end --- ashes.
The weight of the remnants, after the cremation, is nearly equal to the weight of the newly born child!
If you think that you have the most profound and innumerable griefs, just take a round of the emergency ward or trauma center of a hospital. I bet you will forget about your so called sorrows when you see the patients and their family members in extremely pathetic condition. I have seen patients in great affliction, undergoing treatment for fairly long period, in the premier post graduate medical institute in Chandigarh. For them and their attendants, the hospital has become second home. Their life revolves around arranging money for umpteen tests, to buy costly medicines. Crestfallen faces have forgotten merriment and festivities.
Who says God doesn't exist? The presence of God can be felt in the giggling of kids of preschool. Take some sweets with you, distribute them among preschool children. You will see something unworldly--their faces glowing with innocent ecstasy. Happiness doesn't consist in conspicuous consumption. You will surely feel serenity and heavenly bliss.
