Passage 23

In English

Whether in the worldly aspect or ancient thought or modern thought, you should permanently imprint three aspects in your heart. These are: “Do not believe the world that you see around”, “Do not forget God” and “Do not fear death”. The world here refers to the material world. If you are afraid of death, it is not going to leave you. In fact the more you are afraid of death, the quicker will it come looking for you. Death is like a monkey. If we run, the monkey runs after us but if we stand where we are, the monkey will also stand still. If you are afraid of death, it will come searching for you and will meet you and take you early.
