In an instant, we can be taken out of our mortal thought processes. The world can consume us instantly, and we may continue to be unaware and filled with our ego’s desires until the very last moment.

ਖਾਕ ਨੂਰ ਕਰਦੰ ਆਲਮ ਦੁਨੀਆਇ ॥khāk nūr kardaṅ ālam dunīāi.Infused light into the dust, and created the world, the universe.خاک نور کردن عالم دنایی ||
     Guru Arjan Sahib in Rag Tilang | Guru Granth Sahib 723
