The foolish frog?

The foolish frog?

The throat of a snake is only as thick as a needle. So when it catches a prey, it takes a tremendously long time to ingest it. The snake does not use its tongue to kill its prey. This is because the venom present in its tongue could prove detrimental to itself. So it only crushes the prey and ingests it.

When a frog is caught in the jaws of a snake, it sits there for an extremely long time (until it is consumed via the snake’s throat) alive, not knowing that it is truly in the jaws of death. In the mean time, the frog happily sticks out its tongue and tries to catch the flies and insects to satiate its hunger!

Similarly, we are all in the jaws of the snake called death. This venomous snake consumes us instant by instant. We have lost as much percentage of our life to death as our age is! Oblivious of this fact, we indulge in worldly matters and mundane pleasures akin to the foolish frog.

Should we not be aware of death? Should we not make the best use of our time in seeking the Truth (God : )
