Life is a marathon race to be run, not a 100m dash .
We need to perform everyday and give our fullest to life .
However to be immortal we need to love life . It is not enough to enjoy the material benefits and run after woman and gold . Having a mad love for the Almighty will make every moment of our life memorable . An immortal life will always give us enough opportunity to pray and chat with God. Sri Ramkrishna used to have the Balak (child) Bhava when loving and remembering God .
Another beauty of life is reading and learning new things every day. One is delving into the past to learn about our history and economics .The other is monitoring forward looking events like scientific developments in various fields .
All these cannot be mastered in one day. It takes many years and ideally one should tend towards immortality .
On the other hand as you live longer the biggest worry is your health . Your organs and systems tend to give away . Your nerves become weak and eyesight gives in . It will be big challenge to keep everything in order .
At the same time there is a mindset issue and one has to gell in with the thoughts of the new generation . There will be challenges in ethics and value systems and one has to tune in without compromising .
The environment will suffer over time and there will be shocks . To this also one has to adapt and it will be quite a strain and drain .
To summarize the Almighty has a great plan for each of us and we shall adapt best to what the Great Lord has wished . Let's make the most out of life .
