All Is Vanity


Lets begin with the END !!!
If you start thinking of death, you are no longer sure of life. That’s right I don’t even know the reason of existence of life. I am not sure that this could be answered certainly by some philosopher or spiritual person who have attained nirvana.
I have not always been thinking about this part of life. Is dead really a part of life or end or life or begging of new life?
It was not easy for me to see my grandmother in the situation. I had seen her just hours before her final few moments. I am talking about moments more then a year back. My grandmother was a healthy individual, seeing anyone else in such a state would have never disturbed me to such an extend, would never had make to think so much. It’s something we all have to go through and this part of life we realize once we will get to old age. But its not necessary we will die old.
What is it that fallows death rebirth, heaven hell or stay back in grave till the Day of Judgment till eternity. Is it just biological decomposing that follows after what it has taken so many year to be the person/she was. This is as hard a answer to find as finding the existence of God.
The diversification of Religious faiths concerning this makes me believe there is nothing so called life after dead. Have a look at the mythology of different religion

Hindu mythology

In the Hindu scriptures known collectively as 'Vedas', the lord of death is called Yama, or Yamaraja.
He rides a black buffalo and carries a rope lasso to carry the soul back to his abode called 'Yama-loka'. Here, all the accounts of the person's good and bad deeds are stored which allow Yamaraja and his followers (called 'Yamadutas') to decide where the soul has to reside in his next life, following the theory of reincarnation.

In Islam

Death, as of one of Allah's angels, is spoken of in the Qur'an:
He is traditionally known by the name of "Izrail" the English form of which is Azrael. He is charged with the task of separating and returning from the bodies the souls of people who are to be recalled permanently from the physical world back to the primordial spiritual world. This is a process whose aspect varies depending on the nature and past deeds of the individuals in question, and some suggest that Azrael is also accompanied by helpers or associates.

In Slavic paganism

Old tribes viewed Death as a woman in white clothes, with a never-fading green sprout in her hand. The touch of the sprout would put a human to an everlasting sleep.

Getting back to the topic

Things which men are uncertain about has always been taken up by religion .The gravity of topic can be realized by the fact the every religion has its own thesis about it .Or is it the region is taking the advantage of the uncertainty.
What ever I though, read, felt lead me to only one conclusion, to mollify my curiosity with the fact that what ever lies after life will not affect my present and future life.So let it not disturb my life.We all have to see one day whats beyond reality or non have ever seen it.
Even attaining great spiritual level or consciousness would not eradicate the uncertainty about the true nature of life end of life.
Life after death is concealed fantasy of man to live for ever.
