DEATH AROUND THE CORNER
Your life night is slipping away, yet you carry on as though you will live forever. When are we going to realise that death is around the corner. Many have lost loved ones and realise that they can't hold on to anyone, once death comes knocking. They are there one minute gone the next. We repent and are upset for a few weeks and then we continue on as normal. We will never know, when the messenger of death is going to take us or any of our loved ones, yet we keep on letting this life night slip away.
What should we do about it? Why is it so important to not let this life slip away from our hands? Why can't we just carry on the way we are?
The soul is given this body to reunite itself with the one supreme God, yet we come in to this world and entangle ourself in materialistic pleasures and fail to recognise the true purpose of life.
When will we stop letting this human life slip away from us?
Guru Teghbahadur Ji Says, "Beet Jaihai Beet Jaihai Janam Akaaj Re.
Slipping away - your life is uselessly slipping away.
Nis Dhin Sun Kai Puraan Samajhat Neh Re Ajaan.
Night and day, you listen to the Puraanas, but you do not understand them, you ignorant fool!
Kaal Tu Pahoochio Aan Kahaa Jaihai Bhaaj Re.
Death has arrived; now where will you run?
Asathir Jo Maanio Dheh So Tu Teru Hoe Hai Kheh.
You believed that this body was permanent, but it shall turn to dust.
Kiu Na Har Ko Naam Lehi Moorakh Nilaaj Re.
Why don't you chant the Name of the Lord, you shameless fool?"
Vaheguroo!
