"Live like a rich man, die like a poor man." (c) Sergei Veretennikov.
Another one of my phrases here, along with a discussion-game:
This phrase actually came to me as the title of a new book
I just don't know when I'll sit down to write it
The game participants immediately understood what this phrase was about. That's wonderful.
Yes, it was really about living as though you have an abundance of everything, so that you can be generous and help people.
And dying as though you have nothing. Being attached to nothing.
Abundance gives you wings—to help others.
And detachment at the moment of death cuts the last rope connecting you to this world, so that you can easily soar to Heaven.
I know many Vedic stories about how, at the end of their lives, the great kings of this ancient Planet would put on simple clothes and leave for the forest, the mountains...
Such is the Path.
True Kings have a great Path.
In Kali Yuga, not a single king will voluntarily give up his power. Some even have to be forcibly thrown from their thrones.
In past centuries, kings would leave on their own in old age. At the same time, everyone on the Planet knew that they had devoted themselves entirely to serving the people of this Planet.
Their entire lives were in plain sight, with no secrets and no intrigues—everything was honest and open. Their entire lives were a demonstration of piety. And their deaths became the same. People followed them.
Therefore, live like kings! Leave this material life like children who arrived with nothing. We had nothing when we were born here. Absolutely naked.
Nothing—that is what we have
And the one who understands that everything he has is nothing is the great King.
And every person can become such a King. And leave as such a King.
