Interview in the Court of Justice

Questions asked to a person after they had passed away... which we will all one day do:

"They asked me
What thing I did in my life
That they could count

I said I earned a lot of money
I spent days and nights
Away from my family
Working as hard as
Anybody possibly can

They said it doesn't count

I said I had a big luxury house
With a swimming pool
And tennis courts
And a few luxury cars

They said it doesn't count

I said I spent hours
Reading scriptures daily
After a bath early
In the morning

They said it doesn't count

I said I did yoga
And Exercise daily

They said it doesn't count

I said I studied Bachelors
And Masters in Computer Science
And graduated with honors

They said it doesn't count

I said I proselytized
A lot of people to my religion

They said it doesn't count

I said I left a lot of wealth
For my future generations

They said it doesn't count

I said I traveled 5 continents
And saw a lot of people and cultures

They said it doesn't count


And so it went on and on
In the end there was nothing
That I spent most of my life on
That counted!

They didn't ask me
Anything I spent my whole life on

They asked me questions
I never prepared for

They asked me
How much Meditation
Of the Absolute I did

They asked me
Whether I went and served
The Real Master who lived
Next to me

They asked me
Whether I served
Any saint or needy soul

I felt very ashamed
But there was nothing
I could do
For it was too late
I was already there
Standing in front of them
With my head bowed
In shame once again"
