WHY DO YOU GRIEVE....

[Guest guest]

Baba: Why do you grieve; men are born to die. One day

each one of us will die.

 

Baba: (to Appa Kulkarni’s wife)

 

Death and life are manifestations of God’s activity.

You cannot separate the two. God permeates all.

However, (in fact) none is born.

 

None dies. See with your inner eve. Then you realize

that you are God, and not different from Him. Like

worn-out garment, the body is cast away by God. Appa

wants to change his dress (kupni) before I do. Let

Appa go. Do not stop him. Do not ask for Udhi.

 

Gain and loss, birth and death are in the hands of

God. But how blindly do these people forget God! Look

after life just so long as it lasts. When death

arrives, do not be grieved.

 

The wise ones do not grieve for death; the fools do.

 

Behold! The five pranas were lent for use till now.

Now the lender claims back his won; and they are

returned. Air goes back to air, fire to fire. Every

one of the five elements thus goes back to its place.

 

The body (is made up) of earth. See, really they are

the same.

 

Therefore its return to the earth is not a thing to

bemoan.
