The fact of life is the breath is an unscheduled visitor, it may or may not come. What to talk of eight-ten days, night/morning or the blink of an eye; even the blink will not be possible without the breath. This is the real truth of life, and that too is an auto function governed by the supreme power, not in the control of the mortal human being.
If this truth is perceived in real sense then there will be no nonsense in the behaviour of ours. We will be more humble, humane, modest in our life and that is the goal of being human. The American Philosopher Professor Will Durant declares in the following prophetic way:
The very first lesson of History is Modesty Because the planet on which We inhabit is a Tiny spot in this Infinite Universe And the word Ephemeral Used for our existence Is also an Exaggeration. -- Will Durant
Conveys the same that our existence is much smaller than momentary (the breath may come or may not come we can never be sure!) Conveying the same what we find in our Rajasthani Folk Wisdom Couplets. Folk wisdom and the highest of study shake hands here!
Friends! My request with folded hands: Please opt for Modesty, Have Humble and Humane Behaviour To live the life of a Human being . . .as we are now sure that the breath is an un- scheduled visitor may come, may not come . . . -- Dr. Ashok Bohra Anitya Anitya = anything which will not be available for ever
