The day we live our full life is the only DAY to be counted in our life span rest all are days of Calendar, which are meaning less, direction less, useless.
Living a full life for me is living a balanced life doing all your duties, do good for your gifted body, family, society and nature.
Do your bit and leave rest on Nature/God.
In Bhagwad Geeta, Lord Krishna said to Arjuna " कर्म कर फल की इछा मत कर इंसान , जैसे कर्म करेगा वैसा फल देगा भगवान। " i.e. Lord Krishna said to Arjuna" Do your work without any motive, Almighty will reward you as per the work done by you"
Same thing was said in Newton' third law " Every action has got an equal and opposite reaction."
Today being sunday I was sitting enjoying nature and saw that a Squirrel was jumping and running with some nut/ seed in its mouth. Squirrel went from one tree to another and left that piece of nut/ seed on ground and started digging the soil, after removing a little soil, Squirrel left that piece of nut/ seed in the dug portion of earth.
Squirrel ran again to another tree and again took some piece in its mouth and ran to some other tree and hidden that piece of nut/ seed in the soil. This act was repeated for another 4/5 times.
Then Squirrel on her journey stopped at one tree and digging the earth but this time there was no piece of nut/ seed was in its mouth. She could not find anything on the recent dug portion of earth. After certain try Squirrel left and came to another tree and started eating certain seed and again started doing the same exercise of taking nut/seed and hiding it in other places of mother earth.
I became very curious that what this little Squirrel is doing again and again and is hiding seeds and nuts in some portions and could not find it but still doing it.
I searched the internet to find about Squirrels and could find that in the start of monsoon weather, the nature of Squirrel is to stock its food for rainy days but Squirrel has a habit of forgetting where she had hidden her food stock. She never surrenders and keep it doing again and again without bothering to find where her her earlier stock had gone for which she worked so hard.
With a little knowledge I have, I could conclude:
1. Squirrel has understood preaching of Karma given by Lord Krishna in Bhagwad Geeta better than human beings.
2. Squirrel has understood Newton's Law better than scientists and scholars.
3. Squirrel has belief in Almighty that nature God has given enough fields and trees to feed herself without bothering what about her hidden stocks.
4. God has given the responsibility of spreading seeds and nuts on larger fields to Squirrels so that more trees can grow on mother earth. (God knew that so called human beings will destroy trees for self greed).
5. More the trees grown by the spreading of seeds and nuts by Squirrels, more the food for their next generations.
6. Above all, Squirrels are balancing their lives well and enjoying and playing while doing their duties. Always looking young, slim, beautiful, energetic and playful.
My further take on life is 'all who has taken birth has to die one day' so ultimate journey destination or aim of Life is Death.
I wish to live like Squirrel, working energetically, enjoying, balancing life, to feel young in achieving ultimate 'death' at my allotted date and would love to live full life on all days allotted to me.
A good old hindi song wording is जीयो तो हर पल ऎसे जीयो की जैसे यह पल आखरी हो। i.e Live every moment of life as it is the last moment of life.
