Life & Death


Transcript:

So yesterday we went to lunch to a friend's place, and Auntie, Mittal Auntie, her name is Vimalesh Mittal, she told us an amazing story.

So she said there was this guy who was friends with the Lord of Death, Yama. Okay, so this guy told the Lord of Death that, "Hey, we are friends now, so when you come to take me, before you do that, give me three warnings." And the Lord of Death said, "Alright, fine, I'll give you three warnings."

And then he forgot about it. And then one day, the Lord of Death came saying, "Okay, it's your time to come with me now."

But he said, "Dude, you never gave me three warnings." He says, "Yes, I did."

The first warning was when the neighbour down the street from you, he died. The second warning was when your friend died. The third warning was when your brother died. You never paid attention.

And this is very powerful. It reminds me of what my wife told me some years ago. She said, "Sandeep, it is as if our entire life is just preparing how to die."
