What is the use in planning a well when the house has caught fire?�When will it be dug?�When will water become available and when will the fire be extinguished?�Isn't it an impossible task?�If at the very start, a well was dug, how helpful it would be during critical situations?�Beginning to contemplate on God during one�s last moments is like beginning to dig the well after the house has caught fire.�No one knows what is in store the next moment.�Therefore, from now on, engage in contemplation of God and perform your spiritual practices.�Physical stamina is very necessary for sadhana (spiritual practice), so look after your body with utmost care. But remember that over-tending is also harmful.
- Divine Discourse, Prema Vahini.
