Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord It is no mean achievement to get the Name of the Lord on one's tongue at the last moment. It needs the practice of many years, based on a deep-seated faith. It needs a strong character, without hatred or malice, for the thought of God cannot survive in a climate of pride and greed. And how do you know which moment is the last? Yama, the God of Death, does not give notice of his arrival to take hold of you. He is like the man with the camera taking snapshots; he does not warn, "Ready, I am clicking." If you wish to hang your portrait on the walls of Heaven, it must be attractive; your stance, your pose, your smile must all be nice, is it not? It is best to be ready for the click, night and day, with the name ever tripping on the tongue and the glory always radiant in the mind. Then, when your photo is shot, it will be fine.
