From an interview of Mr Edhi
The late Abdul Sattar Edhi was asked in an interview, "You buried thousands of helpless bodies. Have you ever cried when you see the deteriorating condition of a corpse or torture it?"
He closed his eyes and pondered, saying it was not a tortured or corpse. However, once my volunteers brought a clean dead body that looked like an old but newly and belonging to a well-educated family. His hair was oiled like white silver. And there was a clean comb. In the ironed suit, his personality looked very dignified. But it was just a dead body, Edhi Sahib seemed to think again.
Many bodies are brought to us every day. But a body that leaves its mark. I was looking at this body carefully. That's what my volunteer told me that the body was lying outside his bungalow.
As we reached the front of the bungalow, a young man from the family, who was waiting for us in a taxi, came out and quickly handed us an envelope. These are funeral expenses. Then he shortly explained, this is my father, take care of him, bathe him well and bury him. We listened a noise from the taxi. "The flight will depart in your speech". As soon as the young man heard this, he turned and got into the taxi and the taxi disappeared from sight.
Mr Edhi said he was saddened to learn of the body and when I started seeing the unfortunate man again, I felt as if he was waving his arm and begging me to help Mr Edhi. Saying that, Mr Edhi you take care dead bodies please help me also. He decided that I would take a bath and bury that body.
Then, as I began to bathe, I saw this body and think that he had done so much in his life. Will be reliable and sensitive. He had done everythingto raise his son. But the son did not have time for burial. He was more afraid of getting out of the flight than his father was in the grave.
And so my tears flowed while bathing this dead body.
Then he wiped his tears with a cloth over his shoulder, cried and said I wish we would focus more on better education and training for our children than luxury.
