Spiritual gurus have preached temperance in all worldly affairs. It is well known that excess of everything is evil. It creates problems. We have seen what happens to our friends when they take ‘one too many’ in the bar.
What is worrying me is the fate of an extremely balanced person, Nazar Singh, who is known to have maintained excellent health through controlled eating and drinking. He had never needed much medication, and of course he did not undergo any surgery. Suddenly he died, last week. The doctors refused to conduct a post mortem to determine the cause of death. On the death-certificate, the civil surgeon has written, “Nazar Singh died due to too many birthdays!”. The 111th birthday which he celebrated last month was ‘one too many’!”
In view of the grim danger exposed by this sordid incident, I have decided that henceforth, I will commemorate a birthday only during the leap years.
Fauja Singh is just like other runners, except for his ‘excessive birthdays’!
Each & every individual when born is travelling in the train of time. His destination is not known & cannot be accurately predicted even by the best of astrologers as to when he will get of the train. Once in the train of time one needs good nutrition which may be as suggested by dietitians, physical activities as an essential diet to digest nutrition as may have been suggested by dietitians to enhance good health of the complete PANCH TATWA body and also conforming to the saying ” SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY”. Once the mind is in sound state of health. it would be in a position to harness mental exercise to also essential as diet to take sound decisions, do good to others, selfless service,etc. etc.and help to to move towards meditation RAJ YOG to connect to the Supreme Soul. The person in good health & on a long journey in the train of time , I feel has blessings of supreme soul. May Supreme Soul bless all & sundry. ,

Dear Surjit,
Wish you many many happy and healthy Four Year Birthdays!
Bosch
What is your aim?
Do you want to live as long as Nazar Singh?
And if you do get to live that long, will you be able to justify the extra years with a proportionate contribution to the society?
Why don’t you hurry up, and finish your agenda and pack up when your peers leave?
SJ
You are stretching this too far!
Surinder
I know that!
Not celebrating birthdays is like stopping a clock to save time!

Nice one, but the decision to be reverted…….

Hi Surjit uncle,
Thank you for sharing this funny incident. It puts a humorous spin on an otherwise morbid issue. I have sent this to mom and asked her to share with Nanaji as he will surely appreciate this.
With love and best wishes
