You must live in the constant thought of God, as well as another fact, death...

You must live in the constant thought of God, as well as another fact, Death. The body is the car in which you are riding to death. You may meet death any moment while riding; some tree or lorry or ditch or slush will bring it. Remember Death. Remember that time is running out every moment...

Man is equipped with a return ticket when he takes birth. Holding it in his grasp, he earns and spends, laughs and weeps, rises and falls, forgetting the end of the journey. Although he forgets, the wagon of life moves towards the cemetery, which is the terminus. It brings no glory to man if he is tied helplessly to the wheel of birth and death. His glory and greatness consists in disentangling himself from the revolving wheel.
