147. FINAL LIFETIME
I reflected on my situation and I perceived that, in one of my past lifetimes, I must have committed certain unwholesome acts that resulted in negative retributions for me. That was why I had to endure so many obstacles in this life.
Now that I know this is my final lifetime, I devote my life to the practice of good deeds with all my heart. I realize that time goes by quickly; to free myself from the grip of Mara, I can no longer wait nor waste any more time. With whatever time I still have I will leave left, I need to perform as many good deeds as I can.
When we realize that we made a mistake and have committed something wrongful, we should give ourselves a chance to start over. Learn from mistakes and stop being reckless. Proceed to do more good deeds.
Everyone makes mistakes. This is natural. “Even with four legs an animal stumbles; even with a bright mind a wise man falls,” so goes the saying. Mistakes can be made, but we should not be disheartened and throw in the towel. Get up, go jent, and get on the right course. Never give in to Mara.
Our time is short. We must seize every opportunity to perform good deeds. If we can prevail in this life, we will prevail in future lives. This present lifetime is vital. Realizing this, we must exercise extra patience, extra care, extra wisdom, and extra purity.
Don’t carry any unwholesome baggage with you. Carry only goodness. Strive to overcome the badness from this moment on until your final breath. You have already come this far. Don’t give in. Don’t let this lifetime go to waste. You are born to defeat Mara, not the other way around.
