Satnam, i have really enjoyed reading yours and Adi Singhs responses to this, however this has prompted me to seek some advice on a conversation i had with a friend yeaterday about death and attachment. I said that sometimes life is hard and i see it as serving time and that i was not affraid or too concerned if life ended tomorrow, the response i got was that i was being flipant and that was a cold thing to say as my view would not be so when you think about losing someone close and the lose felt be loved ones left behind. My response was that of course one feels empathy for the family and mourns the passing, as i have lost dear ones, but life does goes on and its was their path in terms of the relationships that person had with those they touched was complete and it was time for them to move on (well that what i was taught as a practicing sikh and believe). Was my comment flipant and are my views on death skewed?

Baba Siri Chand is always with us
When we share with you the food that we produced with our own hands, our
own labor, you will all receive Baba Siri Chand's love. You may not be
able to sense it in your body, but perhaps you will feel it in your
soul. Baba Siri Chand's love always fills everyone who comes to him. He
is the fountain of kindness.
Baba Siri Chand looked on everyone with the same love, the same
blessings. He taught them to overlook people's caste, religion, and
personality and always recognize the Omnipresent God in every person, as
also in animals, in trees, in the earth. He never proclaimed any
separate religion or separate principles. Rather, he stressed universal
love of the One God Who pervades all of Creation, Whom we call by
different names, worship in different ways, and meditate upon by
different methods.
Baba Siri Chand is with us today, as are Hazrat Mohammad, Jesus, Guru
Nanak Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and the other messengers of God. We
cannot see them because we have closed our internal eyes and just look
with our external eyes.
Baba Siri Chand was beyond the thrall of birth and death. He proved what
Guru Nanak said: "/Gurmukh avai jae nisang /-The one whose whole life is
turned toward God can come and go as he pleases." [13] At the age of
149 when Baba Siri Chand was sitting giving a discourse, he got up and
said, "I am leaving now." Where did he go? Wherever he wanted. He walked
away dressed just as he was, in his sandals. It is said that when he
came to a rushing river, he stepped onto a rock and it carried him
across, like a boat. It appeared to support him because God was in that
rock. God is in everything, from ants to rocks to elephants.
Baba Siri Chand was Brahmgiani, one with the eternal light of God, one
with that eternal Power of which all the scriptures have spoken. Even
though he lived in the world, he remained beyond the world. As Guru
Arjan Dev wrote, /"Brahmgiani sada nirlep,jaise jal me kamal alep /- A
Brahmgiani is always unattached, as a lotus flower is detached from the
mud." [14]
Baba Siri Chand is here eternally. Look inside yourself and you will see
Brahm. May Baba Siri Chand forgive us and bless us with his merciful
gaze so that we may meditate and practice his teachings.
