[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 127381, member: 35"] Here are some interesting replies to the article. [B] Sangat Singh (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), May 23, 2010, 4:14 PM.[/B] What an exquisite piece on life's journey by Jarnail Singh ji. The fear of death occupies everyone's mind of the ultimate reality whether we believe in it or not. We have a satsang group in Kuala Lumpur that meets every Sunday. Only yesterday, we were going through Sheikh Farid's bani: 'Jind vahutee maran var lai jaasee parnaa-ay' [GGS:1377.17) - 'The soul is the bride and death the groom; he'll marry and take her away'.

While they were talking, there was a sound of scratching and whining. As the doctor opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on his master with utter joy.
