Thank you, mudra, thank you, Chris, for your wise and inspiring words. Yes, it is a simple but powerful exercise to be aware that every moment could be the last one of our life.
For me this became meaningful, when one day my brother-in-law suddenly got a very serious stroke in his brain. All of a sudden he simply fell on the floor, having lost his consciousness. He was in coma for some days, had to be operated on his brain, survived miraculously and recovered mostly. The doctors later told us that nearly 90 % of patients sustaining such a heavy stroke die.
And yes, Chris, I firmly believe that we don't have to fear anything or to worry about death. Sometimes, it just helps me to cope with my laziness by reminding myself that my time here on earth is limited. We all have something to do here on earth, we have a contract so to say, and it would be foolish to lose time.
Love and blessings,
Bagheera
