Make today your last day..



Don't let days roll into nights
Alive with the routine in place
Seek for that which takes the 'I' & 'Mine away..
Yes!; earnestly seek for death while yet in body
Why keep the climax unknown

Maintain physical health till then...
Till when you go through death
Maintain not your frame to stay alive & ignorant;
Ignorant about what actually dies & what does not

Death-bells when ring..
Do we actually welcome it?
I think not, for we are not ready at all..
Lot more to-do lists piled up

With the hour-glass in hand
Consciously go behind having it boldly
For this alone frees man
Frees him from ALL fears & expectations
Making him realize that immortality within him

Death appears like being squashed in pain
As though not letting someone snatch that which is yours
It is but justified to feel dear and near..
to our mortal frames, names & its shadows

When it actually arrives
Get not squeezed out at the end
Strongly intend n work towards easing out at will

Go through it; See for yourself
Why get perplexed as 'what it could be like?!'
Why imagine the truth?
Why worship the enlightened & stagnate?
Let's be in par with them all
& not stay afar with awe & respect
In common, all but have died while alive..

Miss not a chance when death-fear erupts or is triggered
Allow it, welcome it, watch it, go through it..
with all your love, curiosity & enthusiasm

Let's face the certain now & here
& not wander about assuming it as uncertain
Fear not, hate not, imagine not
Simply welcome it, go till the end of this dark tunnel..
Only to fly out free and care-free !

As though just un-caged :)
For only an un-caged one knows the pain of the caged
Choice is yours..
Just Go for it!
