All is well that ends well?

Well they say 'All is well that ends well'. So when in love with someone, make sure you end it when things are really well.

Wonder why the association between 'death' and 'end' is felt. If death is the end, then our life is not well. Cos - All is well that Ends Well and we humans never take Death as something that is ending well.

Continuity is what creates the misery. So think, make death a form of wellness, for then your life becomes wellness at the time of leaving. Or else at the time of leaving, the feeling of unsatisfied life goes with you.

Nothing helps you but YOU

One of my ex boss passed away today. Couldn't help but experience his last experience. Wonder how it would have been. In his early fifty's, his life would have been a meditation on money. Build up an empire worth crores from scratch with nothing but determination.
'Never complaint about the food served to you, am thankful to you, existence for providing me with this. Complaint if you must about the food you make, for that too has the sacrifice of many lives to provide for you'.
'Adiche vazhi poyilangil, poya vazhi addikuga', If things dont go your way, go the way things go.
'What you build on matters more than what you build.'
He helped put quite a few blocks in the foundation. A linking at heart level with conflict at mind level. Some unwritten mutal admiration for both. He has passed on. Was he here on a purpose? Was money the purpose? Was proving to existence his existence the purpose? Was enjoying the money the purpose?
No explanation. The machine just malfunctioned, maybe under stress, maybe because the time came. If the time came then his purpose is completed. He would have got his next machine. Wonder what it is? The intensity of seeking determines the next machine. If the machine malfunctioned, then it must be here somewhere waiting for the next machine. A branch of shastras says you come into this world with the predetermined time. If you live it through with natural death then the wait for the next body is a kshana. If the death is before the 'Time' then the soul waits for the remaining time to get a body.
We must experience death! It liberates cos nothing helps you (santhosh) but YOU (Soul). Not your parents, not your wife, not your kids, not your relatives, not your friends, not your money, not your ego, not your love, not the memories others have for you, not your good deeds, not even your bad deeds. Nothing helps you but YOU for at the exit gate of this life, only the YOU enters, the rest of them just stays back. Then YOU dont have anything to hold on to. The same situation where I am learning to swim using a floating tyre and suddenly the tyre is removed. Experince this situation, then you will know how you are going to take the exit route.
