Even in death we do serve life

Even in death we do serve life

A Story by SANTANU CHATTERJEE

"Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others."--Jackie Joyner Karsee.
This is quite true. There are so many ways by which one can serve others. Many serve in their lifetime. But there are ways by which one can serve people after death also.
Body donation is one of those ways by which we can serve people even after our death. Means, in our life time we can pledge our body so that our body will be handed over to any medical college for dissection purpose and anatomical studies. Medical students use our body to gain knowledge. This knowledge is used for our benefit also. Even many body organs are used for transplantation purpose. So many patients are suffering from diseases where organ transplantation is essential. Then organs of our dead body may have immense importance. So many people are waiting to save their kins from the clutch of death, then our donated body parts can save their life.
Now, many want to make question, why should we deviate ourselves from the course of ritualistic way of cremation? Yes, it may have some importance. But, the reason what I mentioned in favour of body donation, can not be avoided also. Many will talk about personal salvation after death, but I would like to ask, is it not a salvation to help people even after death?
Now I mention an important matter about body donation. All of us are made up of energy. That is our permanent being and object like bone, flesh, blood are temporary. This energy has infinite power. But we never concentrate on that. Always we cling to temporary objects. As a result stress and strain over power our body and mind. We are scared of death. So, we can not enjoy our life with satisfaction. But, when we donate our body, we actually win over death. Stress and strain is replaced by a feeking of absolute happiness. A joyful sensational feeling always pass through our body which helps to enjoy our life fullest. In this way we gain ability to fight against all odds of our life and understand the value of our body also.
Many times prejudice acts as an obstacle to render any remarkable service to the society and even enjoy our life. If, with the help of knowledge, we gain strength to come out of our days old prejudice, then we can attain the highest kind of happiness. After all we have taken birth as human being to enjoy the highest kind of happiness not the medium or lower type what we enjoy everyday mixed with pain and sorrow.
