Every human being seeks immortality. But literally it is
impossible because man is mortal. Birth is not truth, but death is an absolute
truth. So the question of immortality spins round the orbit of confusion and
contradiction. The address of immortality is unknown to all of us. None wants
to depart this beautiful world because of long earthly attachments developed
during our life span little by little. We become so addicted to this
attachments and the bonding of these is really hard to tear out. A little child
does never want to be disassociated with his broken playthings, though being
assured of new and attractive toys as a way of replacement. The reason is
easily understandable. It is nothing but the attraction of long attachment.
Replacement of everything in a life is a utopian concept. Just as this, no man
wants to die with a venture to a journey to the world of eternal peace or rest.
From the living world to the dead world, it is a one way journey. So we can
imagine the beauty of the dead world with our imaginative skill, but none of us
can explain it physically. For it as well we all long for immortality though we
all acknowledge that we are all mortal.
But contradiction and debate focus somewhere else. What is the
use of living long as an inert object? Can it ever be defined on the ground of
utility? What is the identity of that life what fails to interpret the real
values of life? These are all obviously not impertinent or baseless queries.
These are all reason binding. Mere long lives can never the be all and end all
of life. So it is no issue how long we are alive. It is the top priority issue
how long we will remain alive even after our death and what is the basic recipe
of doing such.
When we are in quest of the address of immortality we should
always remember that we are supposed to leave an indelible scar in the world
out of our good deeds. How can we justify good deeds? What is the parameter of
good deeds? How can we remain alive generation after generation with no fade
out glory? Immortality is not a commodity that can be purchased on demand.
Outstanding contribution of any
individual for the well being the common people or notable contribution in
different wings of life, culture or nothing in specific but in good sense turns
him immortal even long after his death. His presence is well felt when we move
along the track of his contributory field. Those immortal personalities are
considered as the pathfinders. They have translated their dreams of concept and
ideas into reality with ardent desire and rock-solid determination. When they
work for the missionary target with visionary look they hardly conceptualize
the sense and value of immorality. But they can hardly understand when their notable
contribution brings them close to the immortality.
So the address of immortality can be known easily
if one tries hard to leave an indelible impression with never-to-overrule
contribution in the bed of the society. To work relentlessly for the well being
of all is the only formula to be immortal. Anyone can survive long even after
his death by dint of his noble deeds in serial. To achieve immortality is a
long journey with no specific destination as such.
