Once there was a timid parrot, lived in a crevice. Its fear for death was extravagant. His time had approached it, and he could see his death approaching him. It trembled in fear for weeks and stayed in the crevice, in a numb state.
One day, a falcon appeared in sky. It went to the parrot and asked it to sit on it’s back. The parrot agreed and sat on its back. The falcon took a high flight, and took it to the highest peak of Himalayas. There was a sparkling, yet dark cave, on the peak. It asked the parrot to take rest at that site. The falcon said that death could not reach the lofty high peaks. The parrot rejoiced and breathed with relief.
The Lord of Death, Yama, was amazed seeing the parrot on the lofty top, from a spooky crevice on the plains, within few minutes. He went to Narayana and hailed in His Name. He sung the glories to the Lord, for His wonderous feats. Narayana smiled, and asked Yama for the reason of the praises. Yama said that he was perplexed about the way he was about to take the soul of the parrot, as it was in the crevice, which was miles away from the Himalayas. Listening the narration, Narayana smiled.
The Divine feats are glorious. The site and time of death is fixed. The parrot had to die in the peaks of mountains, and thus, was carried by the Divine courier services!!!
Even Guru can’t change it, but can expand the time gap, with a choice. If the recipient is at the verge of merging with the Transcendental waves, within the diminishing breathes, then it is possible.
