(My first post in prose J
kindly read!)
An appeal:
None of us is going to enter the gates of heaven, howsoever fervently
we might have washed our sins away, nor is our body going to get up from the
dust on a particular day, howsoever zealously we may wait! And we are certainly
not going to inherit the kingdom of God, in whatsoever way!
We have indulged in pleasures of the flesh throughout our
lives, let’s please our body one last time by giving it a chance to be alive
for some more years and not give it away to scorching flames or lay it in the
dark and cold.*
There are lacs of
fellow human beings suffering from terminal diseases waiting for untimely
death, or a sagacious organ donor, in hundreds of hospitals. They are in a dire
need of an organ to live further on. Just a few ounces out of our 68kgs mass
weigh too little in comparison to a whole life it can save.
Our priceless organs, heart, lungs, liver,
pancreas, kidneys, eyes, heart valves, skin, bones, bone marrow, connective
tissues, middle ear and blood vessels, of which we are the sole owners,
will be burnt away or buried mindlessly if we do not act now in our senses and
able bodies.
“Take me from darkness to light. Take me from false to
Truth. Take me from death to immortality”.
Let’s pledge our body or organs for donation after death to
save some precious lives from being lost before their time.
Don’t let any so called religious myths or sentimental
pressures hinder your way once you make up your mind. Persuading your family
will not be difficult when you remember how many times you cajoled them into
something you wished them to do J
Organ Retrieval Banking Organization of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, is the place where you can perform this noble
and very religious ritual, and be content about it!
*O.K., if your mindset doesn't allow you to forget your body, you can have the last rites
performed on it, by not pledging the whole, although the skin, bones and bone
marrow are of vital importance too, which we shall leave behind!
Salute, Sir!
ReplyDeleteYou have set the lead for us to follow!
ReplyDeleteSo true!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Amit! I think the most humane thing that we can do is to leave our bodies to medicine and science. Congratulate you and all others who have done so. We have three in our family, two still living.
ReplyDeleteWhat a noble thought! You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I signed up for organ donation at least 20 years ago and have recently renewed my pledge in my new country, Sweden.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Amit!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly inspiring and hats off to you!!
ReplyDeleteInfact I will also pledge myself for organ donation, and it so noble to save the lives of other.. You have truly set an example.
I am standing right now and saluting you from here Amit Ji . It maakes sense , so much !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that lifetime inspiration !! thanks a ton!

Very Inspiring Amit Ji !
ReplyDeleteGood on you Amit!
ReplyDeleteit's great that you are appealing after doing it your self.
ReplyDeleteWell done Amit!
ReplyDeletebut make sure ...your organs are used in right way.....humans nowadays do not have humanity !! I wis your organs are used for good purpose and needy ones
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You set the ball rolling for a noble cause.
ReplyDeletekudos to you...my hubby the surgeon also endorses this practice :)

that is such a honourable thing to do !! salutes to u!!
ReplyDeleteA very noble gesture indeed.But you know what stops people?I read sometime back that so many donated eyes were not preserved properly & went to waste.The abysmal inefficiency of our countrymen is a deterrent.After my death my family will be exposed to this extra hassle when they are immersed in grief,& what if it all goes to waste?
ReplyDeleteA good deed is always good , indeed. Looking forward to it sir :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice n noble gesture.
ReplyDeletei solute...
ReplyDeleteits my wish too.....
thanks for the inspiration...

Amit jee Truly Spiritual deed performed by you. People like you need not go to temples or praying destinations . God will come to you. Om namah Shivaya .
ReplyDeleteInspiring indeed, Amit!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI salute you sir! You inspire us to follow...
ReplyDeleteWonderful.. ", let’s please our body one last time by giving it a chance to be alive for some more years".
ReplyDeleteWhat a concept... Thanks
That is a truly noble act, sir...Thanks for the inspiration you provide to all of us readers..
ReplyDeleteHats off to you sir for the noble cause!
ReplyDeleteThanx for sharing the link Amit ...indeed a noble act.
ReplyDeleteI started reading this post with full intention to disagree, as I don't believe humans can be spiritual without having a religion as a core belief. That's how we are wired.
ReplyDeleteBut your post was wonderful, and talked about something entirely different from what I thought it would. I think that compassion is what makes a human humane, and I'm happy that you have pledged to donate. I have pledged my eyes too, but I haven't yet mustered up the courage to pledge all my organs because of a little narcissism that I don't want to look emptied out AFTER my death. Such vanity!
Your post restarts a dialogue in my head. Thanks.
That's a truly thoughtful gesture, amit. You inspire us to follow...:) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Amit. I've registered too, here. :) Love that second para of yours; makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteWhen one can feel disappointed that 'None of us is going to enter the gates of heaven.'
ReplyDeleteThe message is loud and clear and I am sure many more will pledge!
Very nice. Anyway no one carries their body anywhere after death. Wish I could do the same myself but I am living in borrowed defective body and time. Amitji God bless you.
ReplyDeleteAn eye opening post. excellent job :)
ReplyDeleteReally noble.
ReplyDeleteHats off Amitji. I'm inspired. Will follow you.
ReplyDeleteA very Inspiring gesture Amitji. Thanks to your post, have started thinking about the matter too. :)
ReplyDeleteThought provoking...
ReplyDeleteAmit ji , Great , Congrats
ReplyDeleteThis i something i sought for myself too...down the line after some years...i would also like to do this...
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a salute from me...!!!
Great job. May your tribe increase. I shall follow in your footsteps.
ReplyDeletePreaching to the converted!!
ReplyDeleteRaghu
Salute! Great post and a must share one
ReplyDeleteu r setting an example ........... hats off to u :)
ReplyDeleteGreat thought. Thanks to share with us. Its really good work for those people,are suffering for different disease. I am also inspired.Nice blog.
ReplyDeleteA man dies with his physical death but he continues to live when his organ is implanted in another still alive. This act of magnanimity is divine and should serve as an example for all of us to emulate.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have such a wonderful person around..Hats off to you Amit Jee..:-)
ReplyDeleteTrue one sir. Hats off to you. Great work Amit jee..
ReplyDeleteAm too late in reading this. But you have done a wonderful job, Amit Sir. May many take inspiration from you and continue to do the same. Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteHats off to you Amit for a productive and bold step and also for spreading this awareness!
ReplyDeleteI can't agree more. So apt..so true.
ReplyDeletegreat job .you are an inspiration
ReplyDeleteGood job Amit jee, You inspire us to follow, Joomla developer Bangalore
ReplyDeleteYour appeal to pledge one's body for the benefit of someone unknown is very noble. However, there is a lot of misconception or unwanted fears about donating organs after death. Besides, there is very little scientific information or education available to people.
ReplyDeleteHowever, where is the connection with religion, heaven and sin and it would have been best if such a reference was avoided.
