Why it is better to believe people choose their own timings to leave their bodies?

Guru: Okay, let me turn the subject around. Let’s say you don’t believe that people choose their own timings to leave their bodies.

Tom: Okay, I don’t believe.

Guru: How would you feel when your loved one departed and you believe that she didn’t choose to do so?

Tom: I would feel sad and possibly angry.

Guru: Now, how would you feel if you believe that your loved one departed according to her wish?

Tom: In a way, I may feel joyful as her wish has come true. In any case, I’ll feel relieved. I’ll respect her wish, support and bless her.

Guru: So was her departure untimely?

Tom: She chose to go at her own time, how can it be untimely?

Guru: So which belief is “better”?

Tom: Believe our loved ones choose to leave their bodies at their own time.

Guru: Right. There is another reason why this belief is “better”?

Tom: What is it?

Guru: We can feel a sense of peace for the departed. So, they can rest in peace.

Tom: Peace at last.

Guru: Precisely. In fact, can there be a better wish for the departed?

Tom: No, rest in peace is the best wish for the departed.

Guru: Can there be a better wish for the living?

Tom: Also no, to be able to live in peace is the best wish for the living.
