Bhagawan on Death, Desire, Duty and Divinity

[Guest guest]

DEATH A human body is associated with six stages of transformation: birth, growth, change, evolution, death and destruction. Death accepts no excuse. Tears do not move its heart. Death gives advance notice of his arrival to take you — notice in the form of gray hair, falling teeth, failing vision, folding of the skin etc. Death may call any moment. Every moment, everyone is nearing death. Death is not a deplorable event. It is the journey’s end. It is a living death if one is obsessed by pride, ego and anger. DESIRE Desire is like the shadow caused by the morning sun; it gets longer when you run to catch; it makes you a fool. Desire is the worst enemy; it ruins many a human life. Desire when fulfilled breeds further desire. Desire leads to ultimate ruin; It can never be destroyed by fulfillment; Dispel desire; Develop true love. Desire is storm, Greed is whirlpool, Pride is precipice, Attachment is avalanche, And ego is volcano. Discard these and you will be liberated. Desire is a bonfire that burns with greater fury, asking for more fuel. Desire is the sole cause of sorrow and distress. DIVINITY Divinity pervades all that you see, hear and feel. Being

in the constant company of such an all-pervasive divinity, why should you worry and fear. DUTY What exactly is your duty? Let me summarize it for you. First, tend your parents with love and reverence and gratitude. Second, speak the truth and act virtuously. Third, whenever you have a few moments to spare, repeat the name of the Lord, with the form in your mind. Fourth, never indulge in talking ill of others or try to discover faults in others. And, finally, do not cause pain to others, in any form.
