Faith.
In a mother’s womb were two babies.
One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”
The other replies, “why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.
“Nonsense,” says the other. “There is no life after delivery. What would that life be?”
“I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths.”
The other says “This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short.”
“I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here.” the other replies.
“No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” says the other, “but certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us.”
“Mother??” You believe in mother? Where is she now?
“She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world.”
“I don’t see her, so it’s only logical that she doesn’t exist.”
To which the other replied, “sometimes when you’re in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her.” I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality….

This is indeed beautiful. The first baby is symbolic of that side in us which does not have faith in the agya of “dev,shastra and guru” ; rather which denies their existence and is stuck in “Mithyatv” while the other baby represents “Samyaktva” and “Anekantvada” i.e. one who is able to see reality and multiple dimensions of truth. Just as the second baby was trying to make the first baby develop faith in the existence of life after delivery and mother, lets all try to dissolve mithyatva and convert it into samkyaktva by developing faith in mother i.e. “Dev,shastra and guru”.Jai Jinendra
Very apt!
Thanks Rohit and Saurabh Ji for sharing!
Amazing…..we can easily co-relate this to life after death as well….i’ll be similar argumentation….
