| While the
husband is alive, the wife lavishes her affection on him, kisses him all over and says
that he is her very life. But the moment the in-going and out - going breath stops, she
gets frightened of that very body and calling it a 'corpse', she moves away from it. When
there was life she would ask: "How is the pain now? Did you sleep well? Shall I
massage your feet?" etc. The moment breathing
stops, she is afraid to sit near that same body, the body she used I embrace and kiss
passionately. If, by any chance, the corpse should suddenly sit up, would she not run away
howling? Attachments and associations of the body are of this nature. |
