How true this fact is...

I recently attended a bhajan recitation. In between bhajans, the speaker talked about many topics but one thought is still lingering in my mind. He was talking about utmost devotion to god; he said, “Do you know why a baby cries on entering the world?? The baby cries because it is sad that it is leaving the lord and coming to earth, but we mortals celebrate this by distributing sweets and laughing and being happy. At the same time, when a person dies, the atma is said to be happily going away since it is going to be with the lord, whereas we mortals cry on the death of the person. See how the whole situation reverses on birth and death” How true indeed...
