Some of the best times of my life were with you, and I’ll never forget you.
I know Amma is taking good care of you, and that everything that happens is for the best. Still, I am sad to see you leave in such a harsh and untimely manner.
“Why do we cry when our dear ones die? Because we sorrow for our own loss. If our loved ones leave us for training in better schools of life, we should rejoice instead of being selfishly sad, for we may keep them earthbound and hamper their progerss by broadcasting our own selfish wills. The Lord is ever new, and by His infinite magic wand, Renewing Death, He keeps each created object, each living being, ever manifesting, ever remodeilng itself into a fitter vehicle for His inexhaustible expressions. Death comes to dutiful men as promotion to a higher state. The life beautiful evolves as souls are trained in the factory of might death.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
I pray for Lincoln and Kamala aunty — I can’t imagine how hard it will be for the great trio to become two.
“Death gives new roles to actor-souls so that they may play in new dramas on the stage of life. The sage who has developed his inner spiritual sight knows that the cessation of earthly life gives man a new beginning in another, supernal life.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
“Death is part of life. All of us must face it today or tomorrow. The important thing is not how we die, but how we live.” — Amma
“Death is not complete annihilation, it is the flowering of life. It’s just like after writing a sentence we put period. Then we keep writing. So death is just like a period. Life continues. ” — Amma
I just want to end this with your favorite bhajan: Sunle Pukar. Eventually I shall join you, until then…
Love forever,
Anand
