Baba
Know about death
Namaskar,
For all those who take birth, a day inevitably comes when they die. That is the nature of this ephemeral world. Nobody remains here forever. The irony is that when people see others die, they understand it on the intellectual plane. But that truth does not become part of their own living reality. Instead, in their mind they rationalise in the following manner, "Although, this person has died, but I will continue living, I am not going to die." This is one way they view the situation.
Or, when people see others die, then they momentarily accept that they too will die, and then they quickly forget about it. There is no shift in their way of living that indicates that they realise that their time on this earth is extremely limited. The fact is: Death is a reality. This is something that everyone is going to face one day. That is why one should do good deeds and utilise the time for dharmic pursuits for as long as one exists.
Here following is Sadguru Baba's divine teaching about what occurs at the time of death.
Death: how the vayus leave the body
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Due to illness, old age or an unexpected injury, the region inhabited by práńa váyu degenerates and the práńa váyu can no longer maintain its natural functional capacity and flow. In this unnatural condition it strikes against the samána váyu causing the samána váyu to lose its equilibrium. As a result, the navelly-situated samána váyu and the upper body práńa váyu quit their respective areas and merge; the two then create pressure on apána váyu. In this condition the udána váyu loses its normal ability to function under the united pressure of práńa, samána and apána. This condition we call “navel breathing”. As a result of the udána váyu losing its normal functioning, a rattling sound is produced in the throat. This is an indication of imminent natural death."
"At the time of leaving the body, the four united váyus – práńa, apána, samána, and udána – join with the vyána váyu, which is present throughout the body. These five vital forces, having become one, leave the body and join the aerial factor or merge in Mahápráńa [Cosmic Life]. At the time that the práńa váyu leaves the body, four of the five external váyus, namely nága, devadatta, kúrma, and krkara, join with the práńa váyu and leave the body together with it. Only the dhanaiṋjaya váyu remains in the body."
Ananda Marga philosophy states,"Sleep and drowsiness is the work of dhanaiṋjaya váyu. The body being in a state of permanent repose, dhanaiṋjaya váyu remains. After cremation, or when the dead body completely decomposes in the grave, dhanaiṋjaya enters the mahábhúta [five fundamental factors] and merges into the aerial factor. The collective name of the five internal váyus and five external váyus is the five práńas or the ten práńas." (1)
Namaskar,
In Him,
Surendra

With Your advent, everything has changed
"Stabdha ma'navata' ja'galo go ja'galo..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0366)
Purport:
O’ Parama Purusa, with Your advent, the inert and static humanity has awakened today. Expression has come to its previously dumb mouth. Beacons of light enliven it and cast away the dark staticity.
The humanity was sleeping for ages in a deep slumber and submerged in dogma and inertness. That humanity could not understand what is dharma and adharma, nor could they follow any do's and don'ts or protest against injustices. Today, that humanity has become awakened, by Your grace. Those dumb persons who were unable to speak have gained the courage to speak out against falsehood and injustice, by Your divine grace.
There is no looking back. Today, let us all collectively move along the path of effulgence. In the eastern sky, the newly coloured sun awakens.
The flashes of light lured the flowers to bloom. The consciousness dawns in human minds and the hypnotic spells of lethargy, apathy, and soul-destroying vacuity, have vanished out of sight. Baba, O’ Parama Purusa, with Your advent, everything has changed...

Nature of utilization of different persons
Prout philosophy says, “The method of utilization should vary in accordance with the changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of a progressive nature. Take a particular example. Suppose a physically strong person serves the society as a rickshaw puller or a market porter. As the rickshaw may become out dated some day, the method of utilizing their physical strength should vary. If a person is intellectually developed but has the same physical strength as others, their intellectual potentiality should be utilized. Thus the process of utilization will not be the same for all people. Better methods of utilization should be continually developed, but the process of utilization should be progressive in nature.” (1)

बाबा, तुम मेरी भलाई, सर्वात्मक कल्याण सदा करते हो, परन्तु बदले में तुम कुछ भी नहीं लेते
"Tumi, ámár bhálo ceyechile,vinimaye kichu cáoni,
supathe calite bolechile, kono, arghya tuliyá náoni..." (Prabhat Samgiita #1467)
हे प्रभु, बाबा, तुम मेरी सब प्रकार की भलाई, सर्वात्मक कल्याण चाहे,और आज भी मेरे ऊपर तुम्हारी शुभ कामना है. परन्तु बदले में कुछ भी नहीं चाहते हो, देने पर भी नहीं लेते हो। तुमने मुझे आध्यात्मिक पथ पर चलने का मार्गदर्शन दिया, परन्तु तुम्हारी पूजा में जब मैं कुछ चढ़ाता हूँ, तुम उसे छूते तक नहीं हो. हे प्रभु, तुम करुणामय और निःस्वार्थ हो।
हे प्रभु, बाबा,घनघोर भयानक अँधेरी रात में, तुम दिया लेकर मेरे साथ-साथ चल रहे थे, तुमने मुझे खतरे से बचाया। तुमने मुझे राह दिखाई, मेरा कष्ट दूर किया। परन्तु तुम्हारे चरणों में जब मैं कुछ अर्पण करता हूँ, तुम उसे लेते तक नहीं हो।
हे परमपुरुष बाबा, आँधी तूफ़ान, बिजली की चमक, वज्रपात में मैं जब-जब फँस गया उस समय तुम मुझे बचाने के लिए सदा उपस्थित थे. तुमने खुद वट वृक्ष की छाया के समान मेरी रक्षा की. सारा आँधी तूफ़ान, बिजली, वज्रपात बर्षा खुद भीगकर अपने सहे, और मुझे बचा लिया, मुझे भीगने नहीं दिया। तुमने मेरे लिए बहुत कष्ट उठाया। तुमने मुझे अपनी गोद पर बैठाया और प्यार किया। हे बाबा मैं तुम्हारे प्यार को कैसे भूलूँगा
