Fact of life: whoever is born in this world is going to die one day, this world is a destructive place. If we connect to immortal God then we find a place
after death (with God). With Simran our life becomes pure and we become capable of becoming one with God. Those who chase maya are not accepted by God and are not given any place in God’s presence – these people don’t get any respect in God’s court, and these people are stuck in cycle of Death and life and they become distant from God. When we are stuck in Maya we don’t see our Death, which is a reality, instead we are dead in our spiritual life and stay stressed and worried all of our life.

Therefore we should pray to God, to connect to him, in Sangat. Simran is the way to never disconnect from God. There are people who are not blessed with Naam and stay disconnected from God. With Gurbani and Simran we stay connected to God constantly and always follow the right path in life. We come to this world naked with our destiny pre-written, our death and lifetime can not be changed, good and bad fate in life also can’t be changed because of past life. We do what God has planned for us Maya or Simran based on our past life. This is why some people can’t get out of Maya. We come to this world naked (Without anything) and are going to leave this world naked.

When we get our Death invite nobody can change it as it’s fixed. Our family and friends cry, but no matter who cries for us, our death has been pre-written and can not be changed. Everybody cries but nobody is willing to die with the dead person because everybody wants to live. Humans cry over good and bad and people (family, friends) and things he leaves behind. Life and death will continue, but wise people are those who pray to God and use Gurbani and Simran to get out of Maya and connect to God.
