Dying

When do we finally say that someone is dying?
When do we finally admit that I am dying?
Usually this is done when the experts have finally given up on the patient.
Then they would say, " Now it is in God's hand."
It is always with God.
Dying begins at birth.
The seeds of our destruction are planted at birth.
True liberation is in accepting this principle.

  1. The soul's attachment to the body resembles a fledgling
    Which forsakes its empty shell and flies away.

    Death is like falling asleep,
    And birth is like waking from that sleep.

    Not yet having a permanent home,
    The soul takes temporary shelter in the body.
