The World is a training ground and we should make the very best use of the short span of time given to us.
The worldly-minded and those who cling to their personal attachments alone are afraid of death. The spiritual do not lose anything.For them death is like passing from a gross plane of existence to a subtler one.It is the body that dies.The self never dies.Even if we fall in this battle of life,through newer and newer lives we shall work with renewed vigour.Step by step,stage by stage,we shall move onward until we attain life’s final goal.
On what does this whole life,our body and mind,depend?On consciousness,and not on any man form or woman form or child form.The moment the self leaves the body,the body becomes lifeless.All its charm vanishes.No body feels attracted to a dead body,even if it had once been beautiful.What really attracts us in the man form or woman form is the consciousness which we mistakenly identify with that particular body.If you love life so greatly,why don’t you look for that on which life depends? We should learn to love the self all the more because only owing to its presence is there any life in the body and the mind.But it takes people many,many years or even lives to see their mistake and realize the Truth.
