ASSUMPTION

   In life we have so many assumptions and we are correct most of the the time. We plan for tomorrow and next year and also many years down the road the retirement .In the brain  evolution from animals to human beings one of the qualities that has developed is the planning for the future. But in doing so we ASSUME many things . I had read somewhere that many people who have contributed to social security in USA , do not live long enough to collect it. So this is a short story abiut the assumption. 

  In Mahabharat, there is one incidence, Dharmaraj had designated time for donations . He would give money or grains or food etc to the people who came to him asking for something. The time was fixed as he could not do this randomly all the time as he was King  and had other work. So one day he was sitting with his brothers  and he was giving food . grain or money to needy people that came to him. The time expired  and he was still sitting  and a brahmin came in . He wanted some grain so he can take it home  and cook and eat. The time had expired and so Dharmaraj  told the brahmin that the time is over and he needs to come next day  and he will give him the grain. The Brahmin was disappointed and he started going back. Bhim was sitting next to Dharmraj and he smiled . So Dharmaraj asked him as to why he smiled. Bhim answered . He said ''By asking the Brahmin to come back tomorrow, you have assumed so many things . You have assumed that tomorrow You will be alive and he will be alive and you will still have desire -intension to GIVE . How do do you know all these things will be there.'' Dharmraj called back the Brahmin. and gave him the grains. 

  This the reason there is saying that what you could do TOMORROW do it TODAY  and what you can do TODAY do it NOW as in seconds there may be PRALAY - end of world and then you will be left with not doing it.
