Variations in Death

Death is an absolute reality for the human beings. There are, however, variations in how people dies. Some recent deaths made me speechless seeing the variations in death. First, I have lost one of our friends who had a brain stroke and cardiac arrest on 25th September 2023. After putting him into ventilation, he survived 3 days and on the  28th at 12:30 hrs, he died. He probably received the best treatment available in Bangladesh and there was so much efforts to bring him back to life. Concurrently, I closely observed two extremely poor fishermen hopelessly dying slowly on the very same day without any treatment at all after being severely wounded in a fight over fishing with another party. Why they did not get treatment? Well, there were some reasons like bringing the wounded fishermen from the sea to a nearby island in the middle of the night, the hospital's initial denial to treat without police, and by the time police arrived, they left their last breaths. But, let us keep the reasons aside. Analyzing from the metaphysical point of view, how the universe itself witnessed two so widely variations in the deaths? After all, all people are creations of the Lord himself. A deeper look makes me outrageous! I only seek the knowledge to understand the underlying reality of this variations. I seek help.

A Gift of Love (Rumi's poem) 

3 ways to reach the Lord of Power

 Three things, if practiced regularly, will reach us to the Lord of all Power. And these are:

1. Selfless Service - Recall the story of dog and Bayzid.

2. Kindness - Recall the story of a man with lute in a graveyard and Bayzid.

3. Attract blame - recall the story of an ascetic and Bayzid

 

All these 3 practices is designed to destroy the ego. Once the ego is finally dead, the Lord of all Power will manifest within yourself.
