A long interview

Have you ever gone to an interview for a job? The seeker has gone to several ones. When you go for an interview, they watch your each and every move, right from the moment you enter till the moment you leave the interview room. They watch how you talk, how you present yourself, how you walk, how you sit, etc. Nowadays, they even watch you when you waiting outside at the reception without you knowing it. They don't ask straight questions these days. Rather they present you with "situations" and judge you on the basis of how you handle them. Also, these days, the interviews can be very long, whole day affairs especially here in the States. By the time you come out of the interview, you are very tired. Then, the next interview starts when you return home. The near and dear ones ask how the first interview went, whether you will get the job, how much compensation they will offer, when will they inform you, etc. Depending upon how the first interview went, this second interview can be tougher to face.

There's another interview that we all have been taking that is even longer. The interview with the clerks of the Chitragupts (officers in the Court of Justice). Every lifetime, we have been taking this interview, right from the moment we enter this world till the time we exit it. Our every move is watched without us knowing it. They watch whatever we do and even know whatever we think. You cannot have a moment of privacy in this interview. The promises you made at the reception (in the mother's womb) before being "born" in worldly terms are also noted. They don't ask you questions. Rather they present you with "situations" and judge you on the basis of how you handle them. By the time you finish this interview, you are very tired. But then it's time for another interview, the one that can be even tougher, depending upon how this interview went. The one in which you face the clerks directly.

The seeker has prepared for many interviews and has been successful in many of them. But how is the seeker performing in the current "real" interview and is he prepared for the next "real" one that could be tougher than the current one?
