Just as we take stock of our gains and losses, our own pluses and minuses would be measured at the end of the lives. By constantly remembering this, we will ensure that everything that we think, say or do will be a befitting offering to the Lord.
There is an incident in Eknathji's life. When somebody asked him as to how it was possible for him to be so pure, calm and kind, he told the person to think about himself because he was but a few days away from death.
A few days later, when Eknathji met the man and asked him how many sins he had committed in these few days, the man remarked, 'Sir, where was the time for that? Death was always before my eyes.'
Eknathji replied then, 'Now you know why the lives of people like me are sinless. How can the mind entertain such evil thoughts when we know that each day we are heading towards death?'
By constantly remembering the true purpose of our lives, we will remain resolute in our Sadhana and become conscious of our Real gains in life in each passing day.
To tune our mind towards constantly to remember the true purpose……….
