The manner of one’s death can be in accord with the manner
of one’s life, and therefore it can be a moral action. An animal simply dies,
but a human should return his soul to its creator.
— Henri Amiel
Christ’s greatest
words were said immediately before his death, when he forgave his persecutors, who
did not understand what they did. The words and actions of a dying person have
great power over people, and thus it is important both to live a good life and
to die in a good way. A good death takes away the sins of a bad life.
During the minutes
of death, a person can see a candle, in the light of which he reads the book of
a life filled with problems, lies, evils, and misfortunes. And, in the minutes
of dying, this candle lights up all the world with a very bright and clear light,
and brightens up all the corners of a person’s life, even those comers which were
always covered with darkness; and then it makes some slight noise, and the
light goes down and disappears forever.
When you get ready
to die, do not worry about the usual things, like following rituals or taking care
of everyday business. Be prepared so that you can die in the best way possible.
Use all the mighty influence of those powerful strong minutes of death, when a
person exists partially in the other world, and his words and deeds have special
power over those who remain in this world.
