Emptiness and Objects

[ninth octave]

These words, My God, my God, why have though forsaken me? were spoken by Jesus well after Buddha's death.He was breathing in his last earthy breaths on the cross.
Many different interpretations for this scripture.
If anyone might have the privilege to be in the presence of a dying person as they make transition to their last breath. The days and hours leading up to the last breath appear transient to the one dying. Maybe a thousand life times pass in a second. Just as Siddhartha found the river and entered the stream and internalized the nature of the river its pure abandonment. The letting go of attachments , the clinging, the forsaking of God  must happen too. I am not sure when or how it is asked to forsaken God , but, the self, the will and desire must go along with the surrender. The mind totally gives up and surrenders its will, the self to die. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Are you willing to forsake and abandon self to give up your last breath? After the suffering and or watching the person cling to their last inhale the last exhale is glorious sight. The whole dying process is the letting go of the lifetime of suffering. Siddhartha Buddha found the way to end our suffering during our breathing years.
