What should we do to reach the correct destination in our journey of life?
You must live in the constant thought of the Divine as well as another fact - death.
The body is the car in which you are riding fast to your destination. If you are not careful with your driving, you may encounter death in an accident - some lorry can cause it!
Hence, never forget these two facts:
(1) Death is a sure event in the journey of life
(2) Your time is running out with every passing moment.
When you remember these, you will never be tempted to waste time in idle talk or vain pursuits or wanton mischief or vulgar entertainment.
Travel in the car carefully, slowly, with due regard to others needs on the road. Do not greedily try to overtake others or compete in speed; know the limitations of your vehicle and the road!
Then you will not meet with any accident. Your journey will be a happy experience for you as well as for everyone around you!
- Divine Discourse, Oct 26, 1963.
Do not contemplate on death, it is just an incident in life. Contemplate on the Divine, who is the master of all life.
