Do we learn lessons from our mistakes, or mistakes teach us lessons ? An Urdu poet in his poetry questions god that on the day of final judgement he(man) shall ask Him first, why, He did not stop him(man) from before he(man) committed the mistake ? It's true life is echo, what you shall speak shall come back to you, what you sow shall you reap, but then at times these consolations are in vain, we have no answer for so many eventualities happening around us that make us wonder, why ? A translation to holy line read like this that in the end all noble souls left in the shade of gods mercy shall meet. Is that what we believe or is that what we have been brought up and told to believe.
Alexander the great warrior fought and conquered so many battles did not reach home alive, there is tale about him which tells that he told his mother that when his dead body shall be taken en route for final ceremony his hands should be open and out from sheet exposed for world to see that we all die empty hand. Nothing goes with us, but, does our deeds go, or, this is end of everything, our world finishes with our body, where we go, what goes with us and how the judgement is done, a million dollar question.
Sorrows make us believe in some power, supernatural power, that rules, its true, is that his decision or is that destiny.
Hindu philosophy believes that man in this life had destiny which is predetermined of deeds of his past life, but the good and bad ventures expedited by a person in this life tones the effects which gives final shape to his destiny of his life time. What remains good or bad is carried forward to his next birth, the essence of reincarnation sounds convincing but a vacuum feeling leaves one with a question, here I recall a sermon on TV channel which very aptly claimed that on every 'full stop' of Mighty who are we to put 'question mark', beliefs have their values and we are bound to it and shall respect too, perhaps this is our survival if not of the fittest but of the finest.
