An interesting story comes from the Mahabharata one of the Masterpieces of poetry composed by the sage Vyasa and written by Ganesha.
Ganeshas condition to Vyasa in order thet he write Vyasa must not falter or halt while reciting.
Vyasa condition to Ganehsa-contemplate and understand what I am saying then write thus giving him time.
Deals with Krishna and The Pandava brothers Yudhistara,Arjuna,Bhima.Nakula and Sahadeva who have been exiled from their kingdom.
In exile a brother goes to fetch water from the nearby lake and doesnt return even after some time has past. Worried another of the five brothers goes to look and even he doesnt return.
Eventually four brothers go and do not return forcing the eldest brother Yudishtara to go in search of his younger brothers.
On reaching the lake he is confronted by the lake spirit who says he has captured his youger brothers as they were unable to answer his question and he will also take him in bondage if he doesnt answer the question correctly.
The question is -What is the biggest folly man lives ?.
Yudhistara answers correctly-Mans biggest folyl is that he lives kife like he will never die.
Because of this his priorites in life are all warped. He postpones important things which he should be doing now.
