“Remember that My life is but breath: My eye will not see a good again”
“We are human beings of one breath & we do not know the durations & the moment of our departure”
Above are Wisdom words from holy scriptures, does it bring in a sense of gratitude & accountability with the Creator, invoking some responsibility & much discipline of how the breath of Life needs to be consumed. You as an adult just yesterday roughly took 20000 breaths & with Gods grace may complete the day with another 20000 today. Primarily a subconscious effort hence many have never realized its contribution to all parts of the body. You & your breath is more than what you may think let's dig into our holy scriptures for more clarity.
" He is the Giver of the soul & the praanaa, the Breath of life; when He dwells within the mind, there is peace. " (secs 18)
"The body is under the power of the breath, according to the True Sign inscribed upon your forehead. Everyone begs for a tong life-no one wishes to die. A life of peace & comfort comes to that Gurmukh within whom God dwells. Without the Naam, what good those who do not have the Blessed Vision, the Darshan of the Lord and Guru? " (SGGS 63)
Think how you wish to account every breath of yours. Can you afford to forget the one who gifted you a precious human body, the provider of every morsel of food. Actually without Him, you have no one to call your own, your soul & breath of life belongs to Him. With each & every breath we make mistakes, so let's not be lazy not to appreciate & worship the Lord with devotion. For the next breath if it does not come - one is no more.
