Be ready for the click. Night and day. With the name ever tripping on the tongue and the glory always radiant in the mind. Be ever ready. It is no mean achievement to get the "Name of the Lord" on one's tongue at the last moment.
How sad it is that this human life. Precious as an invaluable diamond that cannot be priced at all, has been cheapened to the standard of a worn-out worthless coin! There is no use repenting after wasting time without profit, without meditating on God or practicing and spiritual discipline to realize the Almighty... Follow!
What is the use in planning a well, when the house has caught fire? When is it to be dug? When will water become available? When is the fire to be extinguished?.. It is an impossible task?
If at the very start, there was a well ready, how helpful it would be on such critical occasions!.. Remember!
"Beginning to contemplate on God during the last moments is like beginning to dig the well." So;
If from now on, one equips himself by the contemplation of God off and on, it will stand him in good stead when the end approaches. Start today the spiritual discipline that has to be done tomorrow!.. Start now! The spiritual discipline that has to be done today!.. One does not know what is in store the next moment. Therefore, there should be no delay in engaging one-self in the spiritual discipline that has to be done!
But people in their foolishness continue to postpone in a world from which, today or tomorrow... they are bound to depart.
Therefore, awake soon.
Try to know the essence of everything, the eternal Truth.
Try to experience the Love which is the Over...self itself. Discriminate at every turn, accepting what is true and discarding at rest. Instead of getting enslaved to the evanescent and the false and wasting precious time in their pursuit, dedicate every minute to the discovery of Truth, the contemplation of the ever-lasting,...ever true-Lord.
Such dedication is the real function of the Soul.
The spending of time is illusory appetites, on the other hands... is the drag of the world. One should not fall a victim to the poisonous attractions of worldly luxuries, or the wild of seductive beauty. One day, all these fascinating scenes will vanish as a story unfolded in dream!

6. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?

My Dear 'O Messenger',
ReplyDeleteYour Question; "What Can We Do To Help?"
We cannot help anybody! Because we cannot see our own eyes... These imperfect eyes.
First, just piece of advice;
Pertaining to the 'pride' and 'Ego' that everybody has, all of us are in the 'same boat'. Remember that! But always remember we are familiar with the pairs of opposites like good and bad, sin and merit, truth falsehood. My advice is; while engaged in these acts, if a person is concerned with worldly gains egotism or pride arises.
There is the feeling. I am doing these sacred rites. On the other hand, indulging in evil deeds like fraud, cruelty and deceit, man forgets his higher nature and is oblivious to the consequences of his actions.
Take my advice; to renounce or discard pride whatever you do you must regard it as a duty done without any motive of self-interest or selfish gain.
Remember! Every action done without 'Ego' leads to divinity. Ignoring this truth, man indulges in meaningless actions. They are not conducive in any way to the development of the inner vision. As they are external acts, they are related only to the body.
The purification of the heart is the basic goal of life.
You said 'O messenger', our ultimate destiny is to realize our oneness with God, but please bear in mind... God can exist only in your absence, you cannot co exist with God remember that.
Thank you for questioning.
