Life may not seem to be fair to you with happenings that
are often beyond your control. No matter what, life is not meant to be a
punishment for you; instead, it is supposed to be your spiritual awakening in
the last golden days of your life. No
matter what, your human spirit is to be awakened such that it will bring
wholeness to the emotional, physical, and intellectual dimensions of your life.
This awakening is meant to deliver you from the abysmal of fear, confusion, and
despair in the last golden days of your life, so that you will be empowered
with faith, strength, and confidence to
confront what is ahead of you by
rejecting nothing, clinging to nothing, and embracing everything.
In your golden days, with the inevitable and the unknown
looming ahead of you, you diminish your ego-self. Towards the end of the last
journey, you surrender your ego to simplicity. Every morning is a new morning,
and you are a new person, enlightened, and awakened to your deepest core of who
you are. On each new golden day, there is nothing for you to do, except letting
go of everything, including your ego-self, and trusting your own spirituality
to guide you to your final destination of your life. Letting go is surrender,
trust, and acceptance. Surrender, however, is not resignation to lost hope,
complete withdrawal from life, and total indifference to what is happening
around you; surrender is the willingness finally to abandon your ego-self with
all its paraphernalia. Without its props, you see who you are in the final
golden days of your life, and you trust that you have lived a meaningful life,
full of love and compassion. The final closure of the last chapter of your life
is your total acceptance of your mortality with gratitude but with no regret.
In your golden days, at times, you may still reflect on
your entire life and all that you have been and done. By now, that reflection
is done with total detachment and non-judgment—detachment from all
material things, from self-importance, from control of others and, in particular, your own
destiny. By now, your letting go is complete, and you are ready to enter the
final threshold of your life with confidence and wisdom. By now, you have
realized that death is not finality—it is the greatest transformation in your
life. By now, death has taught you how to live your life freely—moment to moment—because
it may be your last moment.
