Think over your wish
In Kali Yuga, humanity chases prosperity and wealth, forgetting all is transient. We enter this world with closed fists and depart with open hands, leaving everything behind. Even powerful beings and deities are not permanent. A story illustrates this: a demon sought immortality and a power to burn anyone he touched. When he tried to test this power on Shiva, Shiva fled. Vishnu, through cleverness, tricked the demon into dancing until he destroyed himself. This shows the folly of arrogant desires. All pursuits of "I" and "mine" lead nowhere. True peace comes from humility, kindness, and recognizing the divine in all. Protect your inner peace first, as on an airplane you secure your own oxygen mask before helping others. The essence is devotion to the Guru, whose name should be chanted with every breath, merging the disciple's consciousness with the divine guide. This path leads beyond worldly knowledge to pure awareness.
"One day we will go empty. What does this mean?"
"Your mantra must be with you at all times."
