Gentlemen, be warned !

Gentlemen,  be warned ! 
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
_You are living in the world which is mortal._
All the men have to die and you don’t know the time of your death,
it is quite uncertain; 
the messengers of the god of death may come anytime. 
Therefore do not be careless, be warned, and do the work which you should do. 
If you don’t do it now, when will you do it ?  
The children think that they will do such work when they grow up.  Similarly we also think that we shall do this in the future. 
*But what will you do, when you grow old and your hair turns grey ?*  
_Then you will do nothing, except dying. _
The time is passing and the body is decaying every moment. 
*Is there any doubt about it ?  *

*You rejoice on your birthday, but you should lament on that day because you have wasted one valuable year of your life in which you might have attained God.* 
_Think over it seriously and be careful for the future without lamenting over the time which you have wasted.  Remember God._

*हरे कृष्ण*

WE MUST BE THANKFUL FOR...

We must be thankful for the offer and willingness to help, not the outcome

We must be thankful for the challenges, not just the successes

We must be thankful for our trials and tribulations, not just our glorious victories

We must be thankful to God for the money we might have today that we didn't have yesterday, and let go of the fact that we did not get the thousand we wanted

We must be thankful to God for the meal we had today, and not dwell on the one we might have dreamed of

We must be thankful to God for the service we have now, and let go of the fact that we did not get the service we wanted or wished we had

We must be thankful to God for that friends that are with us and support us

We must be thankful to God for everything!

Fear not that life may end; fear that life may never begin

Fear not that life may end; fear that life may never begin

We all fear death. Among all our possessions, life is most precious, because without it, we can’t enjoy any other possession. Naturally, we treasure life.

Though we are terrified about losing our life in one stroke to death, we don’t even notice losing our life gradually, moment-by-moment. We willingly, even eagerly, let so many of our moments be dissipated on trivialities and trinkets: trivialities such as gossip and trinkets such as a new gadget.

Bhakti insights revise our understanding of what is worth fearing – not the ending of life because life will inevitably end at the material level. What is worth fearing is that life may never begin, that we may imprudently delay offering our love to Krishna and thereby block the beginning of our real life.
