Re: [MTC Global] Why to Carry Unnecessary burden

I was born with Zero and will die one day with another Zero. These two zeros constitute my life span. If the beginning and end of the life span are zero, what lies between these two zeros?

No number except zeros will appear between two zeros. That is the essence of life.

Subject: [MTC Global] Why to Carry Unnecessary burden

A wealthy man sat in his balcony enjoying sunshine and his coffee when a little ant caught his eye which was going from one side to the other side of the balcony carrying a big leaf several times more than its size. The man watched it for more than an hour. He saw that the ant faced many impediments during its journey, paused, took a diversion and then continued towards destination.

At one point the tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused for a little while, analyzed and then laid the huge leaf over the crack, walked over the leaf, picked the leaf on the other side then continued its journey.

The man was captivated by the cleverness of the ant, one of God's tiniest creatures. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to contemplate over the miracle of Creation. It showed the greatness of the Creator. In front of his eyes there was this tiny creature of God, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to analyze, contemplate, reason, explore, discover and overcome. Along with all these capabilities, the man also noticed that this tiny creature shared some human shortcomings.

The man saw about an hour later the creature had reached its destination – a tiny hole in the floor which was entrance to its underground dwelling. And it was at this point that the ant's shortcoming that it shared with the man was revealed. How could the ant carry into the tiny hole the large leaf that it had managed to carefully bring to the destination? It simply couldn't!

So the tiny creature, after all the painstaking and hard work and exercising great skills, overcoming all the difficulties along the way, just left behind the large leaf and went home empty-handed.

The ant had not thought about the end before it began its challenging journey and in the end the large leaf was nothing more than a burden to it. The creature had no option, but to leave it behind to reach its destination.
The man learned a great lesson that day.
Isn't that the truth about our lives?

Externally we worry about our family, job, position, money, house, car, dresses & all sorts of things, only to abandon them when we reach our destination – The Grave.
Ego, jealous, envy, enemity, anger, vengeance etc., etc., are also we carry internally. We don't realize in our life's journey that these are just burdens that we are carrying with utmost care and fear of losing them, only to find that at the end they are useless and we can't take them with us.
Best wishes.
Dr A Jagan Mohan Reddy
