Effective Social Transformation would become easier

"The Cemetery or burial should not be at a silent place, or at the corner of the city.It should be done in the center of the city or at the squares of the city.Such an act will let people know that,no-matter how rich they are or poor they are,they all will go to Cemetery one day.
It is because of these out of city Cemeteries man usually forgets this reality and follows money to the extent where realization of real life become zero(shunya)."
-Shri Shri. Tarun Sagar Jee Maharaj (Book: Bitter Truths)

I did not find any flaw in it.I had seen more funerals then marriages or any other happy occasions.I see truth in death only.A rich die or a poor, Cemetery welcomes all equally.It is a place where you can really realize the god`s presence.Even if Scientist die Cemetery has same wide gates open for them.
I still remember when a rich died,mayor of our city spoke for 15 minitues declaring him saint,at same Cemetery another poor family was standing peacefully preying for the peace of their beloved dead one.All my mind is now seeing it as "Cemetery is the only place in world which is equal for all."

Death A sorrow but still . . .

I went to some cousin`s funeral few days back.She died because of India`s most common non-illness reasons;road accident.There was a gathering of two hundred or more people there.
A Hindu priest of our society was doing preparation of cremation,parents with brother, were standing and tears were rolling out from their as well as other members after all their young beloved daughter having age 23 passed without any intimation.
But out of this moment a sound of more unpleasant thing were running in background.The mobile ringtones :-
हर घड़ी बदल रही है तू भी ज़िन्दगी . . .
डोली सजा के रखना मेंहदी लगा के रखना . . .
Theme of Kal Ho Na Ho
Nokia Ringtone

Best one was . . chuckle of kid whenever an SMS is received.

This was the place where I agreed to Charles Darwin that we descended from ape.No matter how hard we teach each other " the manners of society" yet we ourself land by not following it.

How can I say to you "Please switch to silent mode in funeral".You all know that,already.
Life is a joy but still death exists.
