To:
As long as a man is in the full vigor of life, he forgets the naked
truth of death, which he has to meet. Thus a foolish man makes no
relevant inquiry about the real problems of life. Everyone thinks that
he will never die, although he sees evidence of death before his eyes
at every second. Here is the distinction between animalism and
humanity. An animal like a goat has no sense of its impending death.
Although its brother goat is being slaughtered, the goat, being
allured by the green grass offered to it, will stand peacefully
waiting to be slaughtered next. On the other hand, if a human being
sees his fellow man being killed by an enemy, he either fights to save
his brother or leaves, if possible, to save his own life. That is the
difference between a man and a goat.
An intelligent man knows that death is born along with his own birth.
He knows that he is dying at every second and that the final touch
will be given as soon as his term of life is finished. He therefore
prepares himself for the next life or for liberation from the disease
of repeated birth and death.
A foolish man, however, does not know that this human form of life is
obtained after a series of births and deaths imposed in the past by
the laws of nature. He does not know that a living entity is an
eternal being, who has no birth and death. Birth, death, old age, and
disease are external impositions on a living entity and are due to his
contact with material nature and to his forgetfulness of his eternal,
godly nature and qualitative oneness with the Absolute Whole.
Human life provides the opportunity to know this eternal fact, or
truth. Thus the very beginning of the Vedanta-sutra advises that
because we have this valuable form of human life, it is our
duty-now-to inquire, What is Brahman, the Absolute Truth?
