Then I srarted reading comments, that is when I realised that this was written a few years ago and wondered how I missed reading it. As I scrolled down I saw my earlier comment, your reply and my response. my memory is not sharp enough. Food for thought for me.

I am amazed at such a young age you have expresses your dearest wish so explicitly without any mistakes. Of course, He shall grant you, no doubt about it! It did not even occur to me to think of death until death itself came close to my life! Its only due to Swami that I am alive...Your sweet thougjts expresses expressed above made me realize what someone had mentioned, "Its not the body's age that matters but, that of the spirit!"

As Swami says, "What you meet in life is destiny; how you meet it is self-effort." So, as you said, one should keep doing good and focus on the divine. For an effort-oriented person, "choosing" one's future is what will motivate him/her to constantly keep striving for the same.

I wonder can one choose the following:<br />Ones parents<br />Place of Birth<br />Time of Birth<br />Place, time and mode of death.<br /><br />I think these are all determined by the Supreme GOD (whatever name we choose to call that GOD), based on accumulated Good & Bad karmas from past lives. To some extent the only part of life one can have control is to ensure that one does only Good karma, accepts all pleasures & pains as a gift from GOD for past karma and to always remember one's aim in life that having come from GOD one must return to GOD.Madhusudan Vithal Norihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735390916189269416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-32695652205738417342013-09-18T14:17:44.692+05:302013-09-18T14:17:44.692+05:30Om sai ram Aravind: when you collect all your manu...Om sai ram Aravind: when you collect all your manuscript for a book?

But when I was told how it happened in the divine presence, I felt he was truly blessed. People go to Brindavan, Kashi and other holy places. But he was an active member of Bhagwan's seva organisation, when he breathed his last. <br /><br />People fear for death. Few fear for the last few days/months/years before death, being fear of prolonged illness. <br />But then, death is perhaps true freedom from everything. Peaceful death being outcome of how we lived whole life?!<br /><br />Blissfully, SUBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489268750544310950noreply@blogger.com
