Dear friends: lets sit together and do Naam-Simran. We should regret our separation from God and remember God via Naam-Simran. We should really think about how life works because we will eventually go to that distant-land (after death) where lots of people have gone. Crying over someone’s death is of no use because they were God’s creation and God took them back and it all happened with God’s will. This is God’s law and nobody can change it, therefore lets connect to God who will always exist.

Don’t call death a bad thing, death is good – but only when you die after living a good life (with God in it). When we do Naam-Simran, we take this gift of Naam-Simran with us upon death and because of this we get respect after death and become one with God. Only those people will understand, why death is good, who know how to die this way. Those people who get accepted by God (although God loves us all) while they are still alive, they are real Warriors. They see God everywhere and kill all their fears with Naam-Simran. We should not talk with Ego and we should have control over self – God knows whats in our mind.

This world/life is a game (games end and then begin again) therefore death isn’t bad. God created everybody, he supports us because he knows what we need, he keeps an account of what we do and he knows what’s going on inside our mind. God is infinite. This existence is a game therefore whatever is created is going to get destroyed, therefore we should accept death.
