Living and knowing we can die at any moment

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

How can I live by knowing and thinking that I will die at any moment ? That this is maybe the last breath?

If I know I will be dying at the next moment or hour or even week, I will right away close all my jobs, probably stop eating, drinking and catch japamala and chant. If finances would allow, go to Mayapur or Vrindavan or any welcoming ISKCON temple. That I will do if I knew I am going to die at next moment/hour/week. I will not think about all the complexities of job, health, food, broken car, broken heating system, humidity and mold in the house, whatever is going on in a world near me or far from me which affect my activities now. Surely, will try to close down things that are possible to close down in a nice manner. Like kiss dear wife goodbye and pay whatever bills are there to pay. Close people will probably understand me, knowing that I will be leaving, passing away to the other side :-)

All this looks pretty different than what I am doing and how am living now, even knowing that this may be the last breath. There are different things that I try to continue rolling on because they are kind of needed for a continuation of average human life now on this planet and country.

Hmmm… I am not sure if I expressed myself enough.

Pariksit Maharaja knew that he will “die”. So he closed down the business and sat down hearing Krsna-katha. Not doing any other thing. That is different than what he was doing before that. He took care of his job and engaged in other relationships needed for functioning of societal activities.

So, how can I live practically today, tomorrow… and still knowing this is (may be) last moment?

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - Jaya!!!   You must have been The Count of Croatia in your last lifetime. Time to get back to the postion? Run for President of Croatia??
I think the difference is in between, "Knowing we will die in the next moment", and "Knowing that we may die", no?   Because we may also, "Be living the next moment?"

Is good?

Fool thinks that he will live forever and plans that way.

Intelligent man, Muni, has his travel bag packed, his wife informed that he may go, his accounts in order so that if others take over they can continue the companies business with GREAT ENTHUSIAM.

Is O.K.  Your questions makes me think.
Can you send a picture of your family? Father et al??

Now we write the DTC....            BG 13.8-12 … “…Unless we have a pessimistic view of this material life, considering the distresses of birth, death, old age and disease, there is no impetus for our making advancement in spiritual life….”
