Life...A Rare Gem

My father recently passed away on February 16th. I was sitting by his side when he left his body. It might sound weird to say, that it was a blessing to experience his death. In that moment I realized what a miracle both, the birth of a child and the death of a loved one is. There is a moment in time when everything stands still.... All that has value becomes very clear. All of the cloaking and identification with this life melts away just for a moment, and you get to witness what a rare gem life is.

The non-dualistic philosophy of Tantra asks us again and again, "what has value in this moment? .....What has the MOST value?" We will all lie in Savasana (Corpse Pose) someday, and not return to this life again. We get one shot....

Are you living your Dharma???
