Imagine now that you have said your final farewells to everyone before you die and you have just about an hour of two of life left. You have reserved this time for yourself and for God. . . .
So begin by speaking to yourself. Talk to each of the limbs of your body: your hands, your feet, your heart, your brain, your lungs. . . . Say a final farewell to each of them. . . . You may be taking explicit notice of them for the very first time in your life — now that you are about to die!
— Anthony de Mello, Sadhana
