Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Everyone has to make his exit some day; that moment should not be a moment of anguish. One should depart with a smile and a bow. To do that, a lot of preparation is necessary. To depart leaving all that has been accumulated during a long lifetime is a hard task. Prepare for it now by discarding attachment to one thing after another from now on. You see many things in dreams and many things are acquired by you during dreams; power, pelf, status, reputation. But when you awake, you do not weep over the loss, even though for the duration of the dream all that was very real, and gave you real satisfaction and joy. "That was a dream," you tell yourself. What prevents you from treating with similar nonchalance the possessions gathered during the waking stage of your life? Cultivate that attitude and you can depart with a smile whenever the curtain falls on this dreamland stage. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. I, P. 20-21.
