We don't know where we will go
Welcome to a holy place of prayer and protection.
You have come from far to this sanctuary. This is a place of purity, without meat or alcohol, sustained by daily prayer. A global disease affects humanity, not the forest creatures. This prompts reflection on our food, water, and way of life. We cannot advise the world, but we can pray and send good thoughts mentally. A young life was just lost in an accident, reminding us of life's fragility. The time of death is given from the Highest. The goal of this life is to go to the Supreme Soul. Only you know your own thoughts and actions. The ātman, the life force, is equal in all beings, from an elephant to an ant. Our practice is the yoga of the entire life, with meditation as its heart. We are all part of that one reality, like drops, rivers, and the ocean.
"Life, death, for any animals, humans, anytime, we don’t know."
"The ātmā and jīva are equal. That is why we are in that part, yoga, the entire life."
