Only One Hour to Live

If you had only one hour to live,

What would you not arrange what is necessary outwardly,

You affairs, your will and so on?

Would you not call your family and friends together

And ask their forgiveness for the harm that you might you have done to them,

And forgive them for whatever harm they might have done to you?

Would you not die completely to the things of the mind, the desires and the world?

And if it can be done for an hour,

Then it can also be done for the days and years that may remain …

Try it and you will find out.

There in lies the beauty of life!
