Sage of Kanchi -
Pranams at the lotus feet
of Sri Paramacharya !
Paramacharya speak, humans
always choose money over grains or rice, money can be useful for a long time, but
the grains and rice has perishable nature. In the olden days, there were not many facilities
available to travel, but that did not stop anyone from traveling from one place to
another, moreover, it reduced the unnecessary expenditures like ticket fare,
food, personal expenditure etc.. They have adopted walking as a means of
commuting from one place to another, it kept them hail and healthy in all their
lives. Our tendency to earn money, possession of
wealth, properties, cattle etc…never ends, it keeps continuing without knowing
the truth of our life span, because everyone wants happiness in their life. The above is necessary to keep us alive, but
it will not follow us after death. Our body
has a perishable nature, but the soul never dies.
Therefore it is necessary to work for the welfare of the soul which has
no death. We all believe in insure our
lives while living on Earth, though it is definitely not going to help the insured
after his death, in the same manner, we should perform some pious deeds to
ensure our soul which has no death at all. We spend our whole life for the welfare and
happiness of our body while living on Earth; we often forget to think of life
after death. A soul has no death, so
every individual has the responsibility to perform various righteous deeds to
protect his soul even after death. It is
human nature to ensure safety and comfort while traveling, we seek all those
coziness not to put ourselves in any kind of troubles, in the same manner, we
should perform various pious deeds for the welfare of our soul even after it
leaves mortal coil, these good deeds will help our soul to travel in another
world without any difficulties, we should not commit any of the sins which put
our soul in trouble after death. We can
understand those righteous deeds with the help of sacred scriptures. The well-known
saying ‘Every action has a reaction’ is pertinent to human life too.
