My Father Suraj Prakash Sharma passed away on 12 th. of December 2013 . Even though he died , His Fortitude won . No pain ever made him seek help . Only way we came to know that he was unwell in the last stage of life , was when we found him completely Immobilized by Pain . Yet he uttered no cry . He left like a Saint .
No riches Moved him . No Flamboyance made a mark on Him . No loss scrambled him .
He had No Foes . He had no Friends . Yet he deeply loved those around him .
He had no belief in religion . He was beyond any religion . He was a religion in himself .
His discipline was much more than any modern day self-Improvement handbook . He worked till the last hour of his life . Yet he had no love for Physical Body .
He wrote no books . He gave no lectures .Yet his philosophy of life was the most brilliant one . It just had two words written in it – Honesty and Simplicity
His achievements are unfathomable . Yet He sought no appreciation . He lived like a saint.
Nothing describes him better than an epitaph-SMS that one of my friend wrote for him – ‘ He was one of the finest souls I ever knew ‘.
