One day we are born, and one day we have to leave. When we leave is not known or guaranteed. It can be any day, any time, any moment, any breath.
We rarely think and act consciously. Animals have no choice and simply live by instinct. On the contrary, human beings should be conscious of whatever they are doing, because they do have a choice, discrimination, intelligence, and rationality. How to carry out all activities in consciousness? Spiritual life is a conscious lifestyle and it begins with conscious breathing. If you watch your breath and you are conscious of each inhalation and exhalation, you will be conscious of each thought and activity. Breath is constantly going in and out in the background of all your activities. If you are conscious of your breath, and if you constantly watch your breath, you will succeed in being conscious of all your thoughts and all your activities.
If the fruit will be detached from the tree, it will not ripen. If we are the fruit, the guru is the tree, then we should through breath attach to the guru.
This means if I am to pass through all these experiences, let it be. But let me never forget You; let my mind be always in You. With every breath, in every moment, try to be conscious of who You truly are.
