Once a devotee went to a Mahatma and tells him that he is very much attached to his mother.His mother is more than 70 years of age now.
He prays to him to make her leave for 10 more years.He tells the Mahatma that the very idea of the death of his mother strikes worry and fear in him.
Mahatma replies,"Sure I will bless you so that your mother leaves for 10 more years as you want.But then what about you? Are you sure that you will be alive for all these years?
This idea never even struck him once!! Many of us are in such a situation. THe Mahatma's Question made him think deeply.He thought,"Why the fear that made him think his mother will die didnt make him think that he too will die!"
