Your
belongings after death
Transcreated by

(The idea has
been taken from a post of Smt Hamsabai Anantha Krishnan and except for a few
presentation changes are hers
only.My acknowledgements to her.)
A rich person of
the world suddenly expired,
And when he
realized that he is no more ,
God was standing near
him with a box,
And told him , “ Come, Son the time to
go has arrived.”
The man pleaded with God
. “ Great one , so soon,
What would happen
to my unfinished plans?”
God Said , beg
your pardon son , Decision has been taken,
This is the time
for you to accompany me.”
Man asked “What
does that box in your hand have?
God said , “your possessions
, son.”
Man was enthused and with joy asked ,
“Does it have my wealth
, dresses and share certificates?”
God said , “ all that
you told are not yours,
For they are things
that you needed to live in the
world,”
Man was shattered
greatly and asked ,
“Does it then
have all my thoughts ?”
God said,”Those
thoughts are the play of time”
Man then
asked “ Does it contain my abilities.?”
God said “Those
are temporary things ,
That were
needed by you , as per
your environment”
Man fondly
looked at the box and asked God again.
“Does it contain my wife as well as my children?”
God with a smile replied
”They were never
yours,
But they were
connected to you , through your mind.”
Man seemed to
understand and asked “Is it my body?”
God replied with a
loud laughter, “Not yours definitely”
Man said , “Oh , I made a
mistake , u it must be my soul.”
God with a sneer replied “Your soul is mine not yours.”
Man took the
box opened it and saw it empty,
He was shocked and asked
“So I have nothing”
God said, “ Yes
that is the truth ,
There is nothing
in the world that is yours.”
God continued “Life
is ob ne second that you spend on earth,
Live that one
second with joy , not thinking
that anything ,
That is with you
are around Is yours or belongs
to you,
And You ca’nt take anything with you after death “
