Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that someday you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world - so make the acquaintanceship of God now. Prepare yourself for the astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception. Through delusion, you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles. Meditate unceasingly that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from misery. Cease being a prisoner of the body; using the secret key of Kriya, learn to escape into Spirit. - Lahiri Mahasaya.
