"Our whole life energy comes from the sun.

"The man of perfect awareness will simply accept it as a natural phenomenon. Just now, leaves are falling from the trees; the other evening, the wind was blowing strong and the leaves were falling just like rain. But what can you do? This is the law of existence. Everything comes into form and disappears into formlessness. So for the man who is awakened, there will not be any change in his consciousness. For the unawakened man there will be different reactions.

"I have heard…a man was dying; he was very old, had lived his life – there was no need to be worried about death. It was getting dark as the sun had set. The man opened his eyes and asked his wife who was sitting by his right side, 'Where is my eldest son?'

"The wife said, 'He is sitting just in front of me on the other side of the bed. Don't be worried about him; don't be worried about anything in this moment. Relax and pray.'

"But the man said, 'And where is my second son?'

"The wife said, 'He is sitting by the side of your eldest son.' And the old man who was almost on the verge of death started to get up.

"The wife said, 'What are you doing?'

"He said, 'I am looking for my third son.' And the wife and the sons all felt how much he loved them. The third son was sitting just near his feet.

"He said, 'I'm here papa. You relax, we are all here.'

"He said, 'You are all here, and you want me to relax? Who is tending the shop?'

"At the moment of death he is still concerned about the shop.

"It is very difficult to predict how different people's unconscious minds will react. Their whole life will be reflected in their reaction, that much is certain. But everybody's life has moved through different paths, different experiences, and the culminating point is going to be different.

"Death brings to the surface your essential personality.

"Another old man was dying – he was a very rich man. His whole family was gathered there."
