The great gift ... life

The great gift ... life: Our life as human beings is  the most precious gift that God has given us. I cannot comment on the theory of rebirth but what I surely know is that we could have been born as any other species on this earth.  We never realise how privileged we are. We must understand that we are the chosen ones on whom God has showered his blessings. But we are so self obsessed and self engrossed that we even forget to express our gratitude to Him.  We become our own masters considering ourselves responsible for all the events in our lives. We are overpowered by ‘I’, and always indulge ourselves in self admiration and self glorification. We are always on our own ego trips living with immense superiority complex. But do we ever foresee the repercussions of living like this?Each day and every moment spent like this is a lost time that is doing us no good.  We should always remember the saying that, “Tlme is like a river: you can never touch the same water twice because the flow that has gone by will never come again.” So we should try and make the best use of this life, indulging ourselves in many good deeds as we can, helping those in need with all the modesty and humility without boasting about it.  As we always take care of the precious gifts we receive in our lives, we should take utmost care of the most precious gift that we have from God, living each moment to its fullest. As nobody knows when these moments will end, one should try and make the best of it.  We should always remember the simple truth of life that yesterday is passé, tomorrow is uncertain and it is only today or present which is important and under our control. So try and make the best of it with the blessings of God so that we don't have to remorse tomorrow.
