Wake-up call from existence

This morning I saw a devotee, I was pleasantly surprise to see him.  I remember asking about him a few days ago to one of the ashramite here.  She was not sure, exactly who I was asking about.  So to see him today, I was really surprise.

He lost a lot of weight.  He looked kind of lost, and he said now he is getting mental treatment, he said he was kicked out of his home too. I really don't know the whole story, that much I was aware.  Then he was in tears as he was sharing.  Could tell that he went through some hard time in his life.

I remember seeing him, two years ago, with his family.  He and his wife.  There were very supportive.  I was just shocked to see his current situation.

I just thought, I am so glad that I am closely connected with The Incarnation now (Swamiji) because who knows what the future holds for us.  I am glad at least the connection with the Master, the most important thing is already happened.  Of course, from here He will take me Inward.

All this is a great reminder not to take life for granted.
