Questions unanswered

Is being on top of a hill with no one around, with no sign of life, being ALONE?
Or is it being surrounded by people, still mentally feeling detached from the surroundings??

Sometimes I feel listless and lonely when I'm with people.Sometimes so content and happy when I'm with nothing else but my thoughts.

What do people run away from when they take sanyasa? Their kin or themselves??
Why do people kill themselves? If the answer is that they cannot tolerate the misery and sorrow of their family, are they not adding on to it by going away?

What is Heaven and Hell??

When your memories end up in people's hearts, to live on forever , long after you've left your mortal remains, you are in heaven.

When the story of your life is something which people trample upon with their feet, for fear that you might come up again, you are in hell.

I thought of this, when I saw one of my colleagues and friend Sriram, being snatched away cruelly from us. He will for sure rest in peace in the Heaven of people's hearts and minds.

Those who live in our memories are anything but dead...they are alive in spite of absence, they are immortal...
