"Kabir says, we should make use of the favourable opportunity as and when we get it. An opportunity once lost is lost forever. Chances do not wait for any one. We must realise that now we are in a human body, but we can't be certain that our next life will be that of a human being. We could be born as animal, a plant, or even an insect. While the death is assured, another human birth is not. It is believed that this rare human birth comes only after being born through 8.4 million species and it is only here that one can realise the oneness of all creation and one's identity with the divinity. And therefore each day dawn as a fresh opportunity and occasion, opening up before us to move one step further towards the great attainment of the Supreme and unalloyed bliss of God Realisation. We came alone in this world and alone will we depart. No material riches we earn can accompany us after our death. None will help us except what we have done here in this life. Our deeds will search us out and follow us as calves follow their mothers even in the midst of a big herd. The human form is not eternal. We have it only for a short period of time. With every passing moment, we are hurtling towards our death. Our transient life is like a soap bubble. After floating in the air for a second or two, the bubble bursts and there is nothing we can do to make the bubble last for another second. In this fleeting life there are many obstacles to get over. Therefore exert now with earnestness. Waste not precious time but utilise every moment for the noblest of causes, God Realisation."
