SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

Dear devotees, Sri Balaji has raised a question (paradoxical in 
implication) in this mail.

I request the devotees to share their opinions / replies to this 
question.
> 
> Why do elders bless the younger ones for 'Deerghayush' (i.e. 
100/120 years).
> Though we wish our  progeny to live long, is it to shed our karma 
in this
> birth itself by living as long as possible.  The more you live the 
more
> accumulation of punya/papam. Is n't it?  Then why should we live 
that long
> at all?
> 
> Expecting your views,
jayasree sarnathan
