Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, there was no human on this Earth. When God created humans, he also created three places for them to live. 'Jiwa ni a Ga' is heaven, 'Ginding Aga' is the Earth where we live now, and 'Gasan Ga' is a place deep in the ground. God also decided the length of a person’s life. Humans who lived on the Earth had a lifespan of 150 years. When they reached the age of 150, they were called to the Jiwa Ga. They couldn't live more than 150 years there. There were also some people who were older than 150 years but still alive on Earth. They didn't know how to go to the Jiwa Ga. So, people from the Jiwa Ga came with a list of those who had wandered the Earth beyond 150 years, and they took them back to Jiwa Ga. Then, while people taking the list walked past, they saw an old man rubbing charcoal against a stone. They asked him, "Brother, what are you doing there?" He said, "I am rubbing the charcoal to make it white." They said, “We've lived here a very long time, but we've never seen anyone rub charcoal until it turns white. How old are you now?" Actually, he was not 150 years old yet. He was just around 80 years old. When they asked him, he said, "If all this charcoal added up to my age, I'd already be 150 years old." They said, "If you're already 150 years old, you can't stay on Earth. Our ancestors decided that long ago. Haven't you heard of it before? Therefore, you have to go to the Jiwa Ga with us today." Every human; young and old, could live on Earth until the age of 150 years. The man who was rubbing the charcoal said that he was already 150 years old, but in fact, he was not. Because he lied, both the young and the old began to die, even before reaching the age of 150. We die even before reaching the age of 150 because of what he said.
