We
all have to leave this world one-day. So long as you draw breath, you
are somebody's mother, sister, daughter or wife. But the day you stop
breathing, nobody will want you in the house. They will want you out as
quickly as possible. Neither your husband nor your son will go with you.
The only thing that will go with you is what you have earned through
meditation. So realise this Knowledge, realize this all-pervading Name -
this is what will go with you. The great devotee Mira was from
Rajasthan. What faith she had in the Holy Name! Her husband tried to
kill her by sending her a poisonous snake in a basket, but when she
opened the basket she found a statue of Krishna
inside. The husband tried again, by sending her a cup of poison. But
Mira had unshakable faith in the Holy Name. She remembered it as she
drank and the poison changed into nectar. If we have the same kind of
faith in the Holy Name, no power can sway us. That is why it is said,
"If God protects you, nothing can harm you, even if the whole world is
against you."
