Divine discourse on What must we do to ensure that this life, which is a march towards death, transforms into a march towards immortality?

What must we do to ensure that this life, which is a march towards death, transforms into a march towards immortality? Bhagawan inspires us by quoting a story from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

The Upanishads say that thunder teaches Da, Da, Dha. Daya (compassion) to ogres, Dama (self-control) to Gods and Dharma to men. Now, since man is all three – part ogre, part god, part man – he must practice all three himself; Daya (be kind to all), dama (be the master of your mind and the senses) and dharma (be constantly alert on the path of right) – that is the advice given from the sky in the voice of the thunder. The journey of every man is towards the cemetery; every day brings you nearer to the moment of death. So, do not delay the duty you must carry out for your own lasting good. Recognise that you are Shiva (God), lest you become a shava (corpse); that will save you from further deaths. The very first thing you must do to impress upon your mind the reality is to recite the Name of God and dwell on His Glory in the mind so that the tongue will not stray into lesser topics or the mind drag you away into inferior fields!
