so if somebody is suffering terribly in old age because of disease and they want to leave also but they are not able to leave and they have done some spiritual activities in their life also, why does this happen? see broadly speaking we all go through the good actions that we do in this life, they will always bring good reactions but sometimes some karma we may have done for which we may have to bear some reactions so it’s not that the good action that they have done, they have gone waste because they are suffering now terribly those are just the karma getting exhausted so sometimes the soul is meant to stay in a particular body for certain time and it stays there so what we can do is help those people as much as possible to rise above the body, so for example in that wherever they are there can be some spiritual vibration some spiritual pictures of Krishna, some soft kirtans not noisy kirtans because that will disturb them, soft kirtans and some prayerful recitation of verses or whatever that can actually give a lot of relief in fact now there is an increasing dimension of spiritual care and hospice care and there is hospice where people are going to die but there is a good spiritual vibrate atmosphere over there that helps people enormously so we just help them to tolerate that situation better by giving them spirituality as much as possible in that situation yeah
