The Monk who is anxious about his health or is afraid of death is no Monk at all

Sri Sarada Devi

The Monk who is anxious about his health or is afraid of death is no Monk at all. He is only preparing himself to be one; he has not yet become a monk. I shall be Satisfied if it goes on in this way. Let Him keep this body as long as He likes If he thinks of getting anything done through it.  As for myself, I am always ready for His call. ----SPI---328
