The Time Before Death
The Time Before Death
Friend, hope for the Guest while you are alive.
Jump into experience while you are alive!
Think.......and think.......while you are alive.
What you call "salvation" belongs
to the time before death.
If you don?t break your ropes while you?re alive,
do you think ghosts will do it after?
The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic
just because the body is rotten----
that is all fantasy.
What is found now is found then.
If you find nothing now,
you will simply end up
with an apartment in the City of Death.
If you make love with the divine now,
in the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.
So plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is,
Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir says this:
When the Guest is being searched for, it is
the intensity of the longing
for the Guest that does all the work.
Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.
--Kabir

Comments on this journal
I used to say "Heaven and hell aren't concepts on opposite ends of an absolute judgement. They are places we live in, day in and day out. Either in one or the other, or, as is the case with most, somewhere in between. The goal of a seeker is to get as close to the side they desire, and desire it as much as they seek closeness to it, as possible. Day in and day out. This way, when death comes, you do not suddenly find yourself in an otherworldly place. You find yourself in spirit, where your soul always resided."
This verse literally sang my own words back to me, through the words of an ascended master. Barak Allaho fiqh for sharing it.
