The story of 2 birds (I heard this story while listening to Sri Bhagavatam and which touched my heart).
How uncertain is human life!We get worried for small issues taking place in our life and sometimes worry about how is our future going be?The below story from Bhagavatam, will make us realize that, the one who created and is ruling the Universe is the only one who takes care of us and we are a part of the Universe and ruled by Him.
There were 2 lovely birds happily living in a forest with their baby birds.One fine day a hunter strikes an arrow at the female bird and the female bird was taking its last breathe.The male bird was in great sorrow on seeing the female bird's condition and started weeping "Oh! Who is going to take care of me and our babies? Who will give them food? Everyday they eagerly wait for the food you bring for them.I can't mange my life without you, our babies will become all alone"I don't know how to feed them and don't know how to raise them.The female bird was witnessing all this in pain in its last breathe. As the male bird was weeping in great pain, a big arrow strikes the male bird,cutting its wings and it dies immediately.The male was worried," Who is going to care of us?"But, it was the first one to leave its life!The female was witnessing all this in great pain and at last it also breathed its last breathe.
We never know what is waiting for us in future or can not guess what is going to happen the very next moment.Now, who is going to take care of the baby birds? The Creator is the only one who should and will take care of them.We don't know who is going to leave this body first and proceed on their new journey.There is no point in getting worried and thinking of the same.Who knows, we may leave this life first than the person for whom we are concerned so much and worried.It is the Creator who knows this and He also knows how to take of us if any uncertain situation takes place in one's life.
There is no use in worrying for anything and everything.Instead, we can use that time taking God's name and being in His company.He knows everything and everyone's life journey.Let's trust Him rather getting worried as our worry will not change any situation in life .By taking His name and doing namasmarana.
The above story is a very good example for all of us.The male bird was worried how am I going to fulfill the responsibilities of my babies?It was the first one to leave its life!The female bird witnessed the male bird's death, felt very sad and it died after a while. "Worrying is just a waste of time", as said in Bhagavatham.
Also, many people are continuously worried, "After my death who will do the rituals (dahanasamaskaralu) to my me?" If no one does then, the five elements( the pancha boothalu) will accept you.Once you are dead you are not the body then what is the use in worrying about it and wasting time?Focusing our thoughts towards God is the only way and best way to make ourselves free form all worries. Very happily let us be in the company of God by singing His Glory.
