Thought for the Day

The inborn desires (samskaras) in life result in some tendencies that are stronger than the rest and stand out. The feeling that dominates the moment of death works with great force in your next lives. Therefore direct the entire current of life toward acquisition of the mental tendency (samskara) that will make your end a sweet Divine consummation. This truth must guide you for the journey of this life too, for inborn desires are the wherewithal for this journey as well as the next. Therefore from now, always keep death, which is inevitable, before the eye of memory. With this approach engage yourself in this life with good wishes for all, with strict adherence to truth, seeking always the company of the good, and with the mind always fixed on the Lord. Avoid evil deeds, hateful and harmful thoughts, and attachment to the world. If you live thus, your last moment will be pure, sweet, and blessed.
