Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Sleep is a short death. Death is a long sleep. The duration of life is under the control of Him who gave life, the Creator. It does not depend on the calories of food consumed, or the quantity of drugs that are injected, or the qualifications of the physicians who prescribe the medicine. The chief cause of ill-health and death are fear and loss of faith. If one concentrates on the Atma, which has no change or characteristics, no subtraction or senility, no decline or damage, man can conquer death. Therefore, the most effective prescription is the injection of Atma-Vidya, the knowledge of the Soul, as one's real self. Death stalks its prey everywhere, at all times, with relentless determination. It pursues its victims into hospitals, hill-stations, airplanes, submarines, in fact, no one can escape it or take refuge from its grasp. God alone is the giver of life, the guardian of life, and the goal of life. ...Contemplate on God who is the Master of all life---God who is the Indweller in this physical frame. Be aware of Him all through life and offer all your activity---breathing, talking, walking, earning and spending---to Him, for it was Him and through Him that you were able to do all these things.
