Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Once B.N.Narasimhamurthy (Warden of the Hostel, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Brindavan Campus, Whitefield, Bangalore) came to me and said, "My mother has passed away." I asked him, "Who has passed away – your mother or her body?" Then I told him, "Your mother is here. I am your mother .It is the body that dies. Body is like a water bubble. Bodies come and go. Therefore, you should have no worry about the death of the body of your mother. I am here with you. Ask me whatever you wanted from your mother; I will give you. Hence, you should not feel sad at all." " Mother, father and other relations are temporary – coming and going, coming and going. But God is not coming and going. He is always present." "The entire world is ephemeral and transitory. How many people have taken birth in this world? Are they all here now? Death can occur in any manner; it has no one particular symptom. Even if some symptoms of death are visible, we should not worry at all." "GOD will never leave you. He is omnipresent. All the worldly people whom you love are like passing clouds." "After all, what is this body? It exists when five elements are there in it. Body is like a bag containing five elements. When the five elements leave the body, it becomes an empty bag. The body is made up of five elements and is bound to perish sooner or later." "When we see the phenomenon of birth and death in this world, we can understand that the body is temporary. That doesn't mean you should neglect your body." "When air fills a balloon, it takes the form of the balloon. The mind assumes the form of the objects with which it is attached. If it gets fixed on petty things, it becomes petty; if on grand things, it becomes grand. The camera takes a picture of whatever it is pointed at; so take care before you click." "When you develop attachment towards family, wealth, properties, etc., you will come to grief when they die or decline. But if you develop attachment towards God, you will grow in love and splendor."
