Dying is the most important moment that exists in any incarnation
You have all the time in the world, but don't waste a moment.
The richness of a moment comes when it's both full and empty at the same time. The truth is, we live simultaneously in time and timelessness.
Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.
A moment comes when "other" is no longer other.
I experience each moment like baklava: rich in this layer, and this layer, and this layer.
Death has such great importance in this society that it affects everything. I learned from my guru that death is not the enemy, I see it as another moment. Yet it's the end of an incarnation and means going on to other incarnations.
At the moment when there's nothing more to lose, the Ego breaks open - and then we see who we are behind who we thought we were.
There's much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life.
We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not.
Our thinking minds deprive us of the happiness that comes when we are living fully in the moment.
