“I want to wish my father on Father’s
Day,” little spider said to his mother. Mother was alarmed. How could she tell
her son that she ate his father soon after the mating-meeting which eventually
led to his birth? Her little spider might contemplate suicide if he comes to
know that the fate of all male spiders in their species is no different from
his father’s. On a positive note, he might contemplate and become a philosopher
like Albert Camus and write an essay
on why one should continue to live in spite of the sheer absurdity of life. Or
become a Buddha and metamorphose into a god in whom he never believed himself.
So Mother
Spider said, “Paternity is an opinion. Maternity is the only truth when it
comes to births.”
Little Spider
contemplated that and became a Buddha. He did not mate because he had no time
for anything other than contemplation. So he lived a long life.
Moral:
Contemplation can give you longer life.
Happy Father's Day to those whom it may concern.
Thank you :)

ReplyDeleteGood for the little spider. Contemplation literally helped him from escaping the 'samsara sagaram'. Great thinking..
ReplyDeleteLet there be more contemplatives.
