Karma pauses one of his pauses and then answers with a suggestion, a prescription. “You need to think about death for five minutes every day. It will cure you, sanitize you.” “How?” “It is this thing, this fear of death, this fear of dying before we have accomplished what we want or seen our children grow. This is what is troubling you.

MUMBAI X SUEZ
By 1675, the population of Mumbai had grown to 60,000 people, and the port city was witnessing ever-increasing growth in business, and prosperity; but one event was to happen, which would change the course of history for Bombay, was the opening of Suez Canal. Suez Canal, a narrow passage connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, opened on November 17, 1869. This small canal, of little less than 200 kms, changed the fate of Bombay.

Also, because of the Suez Canal, cargo ships were now passing through the Arabian Sea, while going to the eastern part of Asia; this also made Bombay a significant port.

Paramhansa Yogananda said, “No man lives who has not seen certain of his prayers granted.” On the other hand, God will not do our work for us. Master said that his highest prayer is, “I will reason, I will will, I will act. But guide Thou my reason, will, and activity to the right path in everything.”
He will guide our lives if we open our hearts to Him, and He will help us when we need a boost after having done our part. Personally, I am enormously grateful that He is keeping a close watch on me.
