I want to tell you my story
My name is unnecessary here
Anyway, what's in a name? If you can aim and shoot well with a gun then names and degrees are simply unnecessary to get some green
Ten lakh rupees to kill a person
Do you think I am unrighteous and a sinner?
Isn't our history built on the rubbles left by holy wars driven by basic greed and *** in human heart? Isn't my life then a sacred war?
Since this gun taught me the true essence of life just like the song Divine-Bhagavad Gita-you may call me Arjuna
I remember the time when I first killed a man
One needs only a second to pull the trigger and take a life
The bullet penetrates the target's head faster the gunshot
It is not easy to kill a person like they show in movies
To do so, one needs certain detachment and metaphysical perspective towards life
Do not mistake me for a religiously faithful devotee. I believe in divinity- not in god; I believe in humanity-not in man;
The target loses his life ending all the suffering
But the killer truly suffers with loss of inner peace and tranquility!
Just like the recoil of the gun I begin to think about the target's kith and kin-mother,wife, children- how they would endure this loss? I feel their agony. I feel the guilt of killing a man
If the emotions get the best of us then we cannot carryout our any contracts. Like I said, you need a certain detachment
Like the song divine proclaims: Your duty is to work and not think about its fruits. Throwing the stone and firing the gun alone are my actions. Flying birds and fleeting life ensue solely from the chain of causality
Let me tell you that death is truly not a big deal
Death is a simple thing.Just as a man, having cast off old garments, puts on new ones,even so does the embodied soul-changes the bodies it dwells in
Do you know why I am telling you my story?
I intend to reli(e)ve myself from this body
I have waged and fought the inner war with myself. I emerge today victoriously knowing the true import of liberation
To live is to speak- speak like a flowing river; But death is the tranquil and nonchalant ocean of silence; Just as rivers must merge into the ocean, my life to shall dissolve into death
One should always move on- from sadness to joy, from darkness to light, and from life to beyond life. Death is not end of life but moving beyond it
