Death.. and after that..

In the last few years have seen so much death around me.. Maybe its a function of growing old.. As one starts edging into his/her forties, the elders get even older and some of them leave for the heavenly abode..

Most religions seem to believe in a after-life.. It maybe in the form of rebirth or some sort of reward system for your acts on earth - some form of heaven or hell..So except for the atheists - we all believe that there is life after death..But what is “life after death” ? is there a physical form ? or is it just what we call the soul.. a body-less subconscious form…

I often wonder when I read the religious scriptures that maybe our thoughts remain in this world itself in some unseen form.Many years after the death of their writers, we still remember verses from the holy scriptures.. Could this be the life after death for the writers?

We also remember the great deeds done by the conquerors, scientists and also the notorious criminal minds of the world… They still live through their deeds and the seeds that they have sown.. Is this life after death for them?

How would you like to be remembered? What if you could look down on yourself from somewhere up above and see people thinking of the things you have done while you were alive.. Would you like to be remembered as a good “soul” or a bad one ?

We all can pull the world apart .. or push it together.. This cannot be done in a day ..but needs a life-time.. Whats important is Which way did you push today?
