God's Justice !

A man died before he could celebrate his 40th birthday. He was very displeased and disappointed with the Justice of Almighty. On reaching heaven he questioned the validity of God's justice. Asked Him that why he has been called so earlier and others who commits grave inhuman acts are enjoying the life at earth?

God smiled and replied," There are so many sinners on the earth that there is no vacant place in the hell hence a long waiting list, whereas there are very less number of honest people hence there is lot of vacancy in heaven. So no sooner I find someone eligible for heaven I call him for I am afraid that s/he may get trapped in the Moh-Maya of life on earth and lose her/his eligibility for heaven. More importantly I can't upgrade sinners to heaven as it is done in Indian railways where slipper class passengers are upgraded to AC if there is any seat left unreserved."
Man further inquired about the need of good people on the earth. God again smiled and said," There are enough number of good people to counter balance all the sins committed, if that wouldn't have been the case life would have ended on earth. As a small candle eats away the darkness spread in whole room in a similar manner one good person can neutralize lakhs of bad person."

Man finally asked about the reason of huge riches showered by God on dishonest people. This time God with a serious look asked the person,"Then you tell me if I shouldn't give wealth to a dishonest person, what should I give him. I don't have anything to give him in this world other than wealth. For wealth is the least valued and most easily achievable thing I have created in this world. The people whom I like, I bless them with wisdom, knowledge, science , conscience, peace etc. "

Man was ashamed of this ignorance and was feeling guilty for raising doubt over the justice of God.

Lesson: Long life and wealth are simple things. One should understand the pious objective behind his/her creation and strive to achieve the same throughout his life. 

Hindi Translation:

एक बार एक सज्जन व्यक्ति जिन्हौने अभी अपना 40वां जन्मदिन भी नहीं मनाया था भगवन को प्यारे हो गए ! वो अपने इस असमय मृत्यु से काफी दुखिः थे और जैसे ही स्वर्ग के द्वार पर पहुंचे उन्होंने भगवन से तिलमिला कर प्रश्न किया। ये कैसी न्याय है प्रभु आपकी, जो लोग नीचे मानवता पर जघन्य अपराध कर रहे हैं वो अपने बीवी बच्चे के साथ जिन्दगी का आनंद ले रहे हैं और मैं जिसने दूसरों को कभी नुकसान नहीं पहुंचाया उसे आपने आधी जवानी में ही ऊपर बुला लिया ? क्या आपका भी न्याय पृथ्वी के न्याय की तरह हो गया है ?

भगवन मुस्कुराये और बोले,"पृथ्वी पर किये गए कर्मों के हिसाब से यहाँ लोगों को स्वर्ग और नरक में रखा जाता है ।अब ऐसा है की पृथ्वी पर पापियों की सख्यां इंतनी बढ़ गयी है की नरक में कोई स्थान ही रिक्त नहीं है और काफी लम्बा प्रतीक्षासूची है लेकिन स्वर्ग में स्थान ही स्थान रिक्त है इसलिए जब भी पृथ्वी पर कोई व्यक्ति स्वर्ग का हक़दार मिलता है तो उसे ऊपर बुला लेता हूँ क्यूंकि डर लगा रहता है की कहीं वो भी पृथ्वी के मोह माया के चक्कर में स्वर्ग का पात्रता न खो दे ! और ये हमारा न्याय है भारतीय रेल सेवा नहीं जहाँ  ऐ सी  कम्पार्टमेंट में स्थान रिक्त रहने पर जनरल कम्पार्टमेंट के सवारी को उप्ग्रेड कर दिया जाता है !

सज्जन पुरुष ने फिर सवाल किया की, "लेकिन भगवन पृथ्वी पर भी तो अच्छे लोगों की जरुरत है?" भगवान फिर मुस्कुराते हुए बोले," हाँ है तो, और उतने अच्छे लोग तो है ही की धरती के पापों के परदुर्भाओं को नष्ट कर सकें अन्यथा पृथ्वी पर जीवन समाप्त हो जायेगा।

सज्जन इन्सान ने फिर प्रश्न किया की ," हे भगवन आप पापियों को पृथ्वी पर इतना धन संपदा क्योँ देते हैं? क्या ईमानदार और नेक व्यक्ति इसका हक़दार नहीं है ?"
भगवान गंभीर होते हुए बोले, "तो तुम बताओ पापियों को क्या देना चाहिए? मेरे पास उन्हें देने के लिए धन के अलावा और कुछ नहीं है, मेरे द्वारा रची गयी इस संसार में धन सबसे सस्ता और सरलता से प्राप्त करने योग वस्तु है, जो लोग ईमानदार होते हैं और हमेशा सत्य के राह पर चलते हैं उन्हें मैं धन से बहुत ही अधिक कीमती वस्तु देता हूँ जैसे ज्ञान, विज्ञानं, विवेक, यश, सुख और शांति ! अब तुम बताओ तुम्हें क्या चाहिए ?"

सज्जन पुरुष अपने अल्पज्ञता के लिए लज्जित था और भगवान के न्याय को न समझने की लिए क्षमापार्थी था !

शिक्षा: इस कहानी से हमें ये शिक्षा मिलता है की धन और लम्बी उम्र दोनों ही साधारण वस्तु है हमें हमेशा मानव जीवन के बड़े उद्देश्यों को समझकर उसे पाने का प्रयास करना चाहिए।

Stop Crying Foul until U dare to Change It !

Sitting in a 10ft by 10ft room, wrapped in a thin Makhmali, Jaipuri quilt, TV remote in the hand, watching Arnab Goswami on Times Now or Rajdeep Sardesai on IBN Live or 5th day of India-England test series, some light hand made biscuits along with hot Nescafe Chocolate latte and in between few calls from friends and family and Facebook status update through Blackberry ( Mostly liking each other's status and photograph in b/w commenting on few posts mostly containing smileys (depicting mechanical emotions))    ..I guess these things can be obvious choice for a professional working for scheduled 9 AM- 5 PM  stretched up to 7  PM on a normal, non-traffic, non-deadline days. Choices of TV channels may vary and menu for evening snacks may depend on the number of days passed since one receives the salary..Okk, now 'Stupid' tablets have replaced 'silly' cell phones for Facebook updates..so these are little variations, rest ...

Hail India for embracing this HISTORIC MOMENT !!

Nation has witnessed a historic moment, in fact in the night of 8th Nov India had its tryst with the destiny. But sad some persons are trying to fool the nation and some arm chair intellectuals are professing the doomsday for the historic leadership. They are living in a fool’s paradise. They are disconnected individuals figh ting their last battle to save their bastion. Let me first talk about the goodness of this move: 1.       Check on the Terror Funding 2.       Check on Counterfeit Currency 3.       Check on the Inflation 4.       Check on the Spiralling Real-estate Pricing 5.       Check on the illegal Political Funding 6.       Check on the Rent-seeking Bureaucracy  7.       Check on the Crime Money 8.       Check on the Bribe Giving 9.   ...

Dreams Unlimited

Today on way back from Hauzkash to Karolbagh at 11pm through Delhi Metro for few minutes I got lost in the world of dreams. It was among the last series of metro running on the track before it stops for the day.  Train was originated from Hudda City centre in Gurgaon, a recently developed economic centre of NCR and was destined for Jahangirpuri, surrounding which working class people stay owing to relatively cheap residential area. So clearly most of the people were office goers or daily wage earners, some may be working in MNCs and others may be working in medium and small scale industries. All most everyone was exhausted to degree that a salient war was on to grab a seat. Though there was enough crowd but it was like pin drop silence. My civil services result would most probably be declared this week, so I was lost thinking about that. As usual I was praying to God suddenly I felt that why am I feeling so helpless, why I am so possessive about UPSC results...
