A deep desire to live without problems makes one commit suicide. When life is just a game, and you have really lived life, then you embrace death naturally when it comes.
~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji’s words offer a profound perspective on life and death. He highlights the difference between running away from problems and embracing life’s challenges with courage and wisdom.
When we understand that life is a game, a journey of growth and learning, we can face difficulties with equanimity and grace. We come to realize that death is a natural part of life, a transition to the next phase of our journey.
Gurudev’s teachings remind us that our true essence is Absolute, Indivisible, Eternal, Infinite, and full of Absolute Knowledge, Power, Energy, and Peace. We are not bound by the limitations of the material world (maya); we are Atman, the individual self or soul, connected to the ultimate reality, Brahman.
May we all cultivate the wisdom to embrace life and death with courage, faith, and inner peace.
