Your ganna die

“You’re ganna die,” said the Guru to the disciple.

And the disciple took offense to this statement.

“Why is the Guru threatening me!?” he thought.

But the Guru was only lovingly reminding the pupil not to dawdle along so.

“Enlightenment is as near as you make it,” said the Guru,

“Why wait until another life.”
