How old are you?
I am 65. I am 85 and still going strong. He is 92 but very
sick and in nursing home.
These are our normal day to day conversation. By the way
what should be the life span of a human being. According to Hindu scriptures a
human being has been blessed with a life of 125 years in modern era known as
Kaliyug. Why then people do not achieve its complete life cycle and if at all
they go beyond 80 or 90, most of them end up in nursing home.
Have you wondered how many breaths we have in whole life
span? How many pal (Indian measurement of time) do we have in our life. Before
we go further let us understand the Indian measurement of time. Normally we
measure time in hours, minutes and seconds. Similarly Indian measurement of
time are in Ghati, Pal and Vipal. There are 60 Ghati in a day (24 hours) which
is 2.5 ghati per hour. There are 60 pal in a ghati and 60 vipal in a pal (60
minutes in hour and 60 seconds in a minute) which is 2.5 pal in a minute and
2.5 vipal in a second.
A normal healthy person breath in 21600 times in one day and
60 ghatis x 60 pal x 60 vipal = 216000 vipal in a day equivalent to 24 hours x
60 minutes x 60 seconds = 86400.
Now if an average person lives for 80 years then he will
breathing (80 x 365 x 21600) 630,720,000 times and will have a life of (80 x
365 x 216000) 6,307,200,000 vipal to live.
Just imagine how many breaths and how many vipal do one
really use for healthy living? How many breaths and how many vipal do one
really spend with the Supreme Being. I recall the above old song. "Pal
Pal Dil ke Paas Tum Raheto Ho." That Supreme Being always resides
in ones heart. One just needs to look at Him.
Stay connected with the Supreme being and live healthy life
