LAWS OF PROSPERITY IN THE HOME : 1- (d).
1. THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE : (d)
(d).The Fourth Stage: Renunciation
At this time of life the only duty is to gather together one’s mind and place it upon the Supreme Being. That is the fourth quarter of life, the sun-set period of one’s life, when all your relationships and connections are coming to a close. At this time, your entire mind should be fixed upon the Eternal, no more on the passing world. You have fulfilled all your duties, and now you have to depart.
The river is reaching the ocean, and a time will come when it has to merge into the ocean. Here one’s mind has become calm, steady and pure. One’s heart is desireless and free from all cravings. One is established in perfect self-restraint and virtue. This ideal state is the fruit of right living. Here, one automatically becomes absorbed in the contemplation of the Supreme and moves towards God-experience.
He or she reaps the harvest of a rich inner spiritual life, supreme peace and bliss, obtaining that ultimate objective for which one has taken birth. That is the goal to be reached.
