Question: “The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

How can you learn to live so that when you die you have no regrets?

Answer: I think it is about a person striving to be ready to die. That is, I live as I believe I should within my limited capabilities. And when the time comes to die, I will have no regrets.

Question: Is this the formula we need to follow? But do I still invest in every day, in every minute of my life?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What do you call life?

Answer: The connection of a person with the thought of the Creator I call life.

Question: But I do not know the thoughts of the Creator.

Answer: I try to understand and implement what the Creator wants us to know and attain.

Comment: So life is about constantly learning this. And along this path, we have all sorts of ascents and descents.

My Response: It only helps us to unite and attain the depth of the Creator’s wisdom.

Question: Can you say what the main thought of the Creator is?

Answer: The main thought of the Creator is for a person to want to connect with all people, with all of nature, into one single whole, and to reveal the Creator in all of this.

Question: If a person has a feeling and lives with the feeling that they can be immortal, is it good or bad?

Answer: I can imagine what it means to be immortal, but at the same time I can imagine how a person can suffer if the Creator does not allow them to escape from the limitations of the mind, from the tasks that constantly circulate in person’s mind and heart.

Therefore let’s hope we have that choice ahead of us.
