AN INSPIRATION
It all begins with an inspiration ... and ironically, ends at the same !
As life begins, it is your parents inspiring you to start a journey which may seem happily short at one moment and tiringly long at another ...
And as you march forward, you find friends ready to be the next inspirers or better to say, companions in true respects, ready to share all it takes to lead a carefree life ...
And then, it's your turn to filter the best ones out of them, i.e. Keep those who never find inspiring 'others' (esp. 'you' !) something 'tiring' !
As you grow older, you find inspirations in famous people, celebrities, mentors, ideals, etc.
In this due course of time .. you unknowingly become an inspirer for yourself ...
And this is when you start thinking that you are complete in all respects ...
failing to memorise the universal fact that nobody in this world is complete .. simply because whatever is complete will not change ... and whatever that will not change will gradually become inert... and ultimately wither away in loneliness !!!
In this course of entanglements, you suddenly find yourself gazing at a woman who is supposed to be your wife ... and unfortunately , your inspirer for the next major chunk of your suddenly shortened life !!!
So you are 'warmly' welcomed to the world of responsibilities, tensions and then children ... and this it's time your own children !!!
And now, it is you who tries to gain inspirations from them ... realizing pretty late that you've missed the enjoyment of your earlier life simply in search of 'inspirations' from everywhere !!
Oops ! That sounds weirdly awkward ... but that's what you have been spending your life doing ... and that's what you are doing now ... while you watch your children grow old and prepare themselves for the same feelings which their 'dad' once 'had' ...
But above all ... you give most of your inspirational credit to the 'almighty'! Whereas in real sense, you actually remember him only once you are lying down on the 'thorny' death-bed ...
And you confidently ask,“Oh God ! I would get into 'heaven', won't I ?”...
A short pause.. and God asks his usual question, “What have you done, my son ???” ...
You begin with your well-prepared answer, ”To start with, it was a very inspirational lif...”
God asks,”Inspirational ! For whom ?”.
You think a lot. This time a long pause and finally decide to say the truth atleast now that you are facing the Judge of all, remembering well that neither his 'law' is blind and nor his 'judgement' fraud !!!
You sheepishly mutter,”Hmm.. I think, it was inspirational for 'myself', but...”.
“That would suffice !”replies God sternly.
“So, any strong point behind wishing 'heaven' ??”asks God.
You think ... and keep thinking until you find yourself in the so-called 'hell' with possibly just one good feeling in heart .. infact with an 'inspiration'!
Oh no ! Not again ... there's nobody to listen .. and so you think it's better to continue ...
With an 'inspiration' that the next time you come into this world, in whichever form that maybe ...
You'll try your best to inspire others and no doubt that would automatically inspire you too ...
provided that you clearly remember all the 'inspirations' which you collected in your previous life ...
“But will I remember all this ? Do I need an inspiration for that too ??? !!!“
