Knowledge is not mere collection of information about truth from various outer sources. Knowledge is standing up in front of the truth and facing it as it is, encountering it with its true nature without our pre conceptions, reflections, notions and deadly patterns. Knowledge is being with Life as it is – in its true IS FULLNESS.
The true knowledge brings light into our Life. The true knowledge removes the darkness which was there for years together, births together in just a few moments of understanding. True listening to true knowledge breaks the deadly pattern and brings light in to life, un to our self. |

| Life – Death and beyond |
Life is rejoicing - rejoicing in the Energy within and rejoicing in its multidimensional expressions. Life exists in two dimensions, one within – as the subjective and the other as objective. One who has realized the source of life within rejoices both within and without, rejoices in all its aspects, all its richness, nothing is less everything is in its peak expression. The source which is dwelling with in is the same when dancing outside as so many innumerable names and forms yet each is as unique as any other.
Life goes on flowing; life is flowing in between you and me. We are connected from the very same source although our expressions as body – mind – emotions, our situation for our expressions are differing. You are breathing in and breathing out and the same air is breathed by all living beings. We are connected through this breath indirectly. Far away the sun resides and sends its rays which in turn give us food produced by plants and we are made up of these food particles. This is going on. The source for all these transformations is the same energy which dwells in every being. Life exists as a whole. With in its expression there may be different forms and names but as a whole its function is the same - rejoicing. Its whole purpose is rejoicing. Those who come to know this are the blessed ones and only they know the truth as it is. |

The world of the outer exists in two aspects - as Peak-valley, Day-night, Joy-sorrow, Life-death, young-old and so on. These are outer realities of the same source. one who sees life as a whole doesn’t see these two aspects as opposite to each other but complimenting each other, different planes of the same existence, the dance in different forms. One who accepts the peak and rejects the valley can not have the peak either because with out the valley the peak cannot exist. Just try, imagine the peak without the valley- you can not; one can not have youth with out old age following. Rejecting one of the aspects of the same source is only resulting in suffering. Rejoicing in both the aspects in its peak of expression makes one open and available to all the planes of existence, one who is open, accepts, flows with the life energy along with all of its expressions, finds the source of life and rejoices every moment of Life-and death too. |

| You are not the Body- it is your Body. |
Man is not just Body, it is only his periphery. Man is residing in the body but he is not the body. You exists as a Body – Mind – Emotions and more – Man is a whole organic unity of these not just the body as circumference. He has a center too. The body is the visible soul, and the soul is the invisible body. The body and soul are not divided anywhere, they are parts of each other, and they are parts of one whole.
|
We don't know the mystery of the body itself. It is not just the skin; it is not just the bones; it is not just the blood. It is a great organic unity, a great dynamism. The body is the most complex mechanism in existence. Scientists have made very complicated machines, but nothing to be compared with the body. Even the most sophisticated computer is just a toy compared to the inner mechanism of the body. This body made up of so many substances derived from your parents by birth. Those substances existed before you were, and they have reached this form to you after a long journey. Before your parents, they were in the bodies of their parents. These substances have had a long journey of millions of years; now they constitute your body. This body is the closest to you. The closest nature can approach you, the closest soul has come to you, is through the body. |
In your body is the water of the oceans, in your body is the fire of the suns, in your body is the air, your body is made of earth, and your body has space within. Your body represents the whole existence, all the elements. And wonder at this transformation! What a metamorphosis! Look at the earth and then look at your body - what a transformation, Dust has become divine - what greater mystery? What greater miracle? And you see the miracle happening every day. Out of the mud comes the lotus...and out of the dust has arisen our beautiful body.
For millions of years consciousness has existed in body, they are parts of one whole. It is your body, accept the body, love the body, respect the body, and be grateful to your body. Only then will you attain to a certain kind of integration, wholeness will happen, Health happens; First, inside you become one with your body, then become one with the whole existence. Health is the feeling of well-being; your whole body functioning at ease with the whole, you feel a certain well-being, a certain oneness with existence.
The day your heartbeat has a synchronicity with the universe and its heartbeat you have found religion -- not before it. |

| Mind – never mind. |
There is no mind as such, only process of thoughts. Even these thoughts exist as individual entity separated from each other, words and forms constitute this thought process which again has no substantial existence. All these thoughts exist has a collection of words, and images collected from every possible source. That is why it has got no substantial existence as such, if you watch each though they are floating in the surface as a separate entity even between two subsequent thoughts hardly any relation. These thoughts appear in steady fast hardly with any gap which makes its illusionary appearance as continuity. Clinging to these thoughts creates the illusion of Mind.
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears; only the attachment with the individual thoughts creates a false existence as Mind. So never mind the mind. It is not much threatening as it is projected or appeared. It is simple mechanism to be used as a utility for thinking process and finished with it.
Mind as such is not good or bad, clinging to the mind is only creates all our disease. You are not the Mind- you are not thoughts – you are not thinking process – you are not memory- you are not these whole mechanism. You are something more, that something constitutes you and it is you who are master for this whole beautiful mechanism called mind. |

| Death – the life beyond. |
Life is flowing like a river.
Life has no birth or death. Life exists as ever. Life is immortal.
The body taking birth one day and it dies one day but life existed before birth. Life expressed through this body when it is born, it means life is there and it takes birth.
Birth is not the beginning of life.
Life is there as a continuous flow, birth happens in that as a bubble.
 |
Life comes first, and then there is birth.
Birth is a phenomenon which happens in life. Birth itself is not life.
Life existed as always before birth; you existed even when you are not born.
You are born because you were there before.
And the same is the case with death. If you existed before birth, then you will be after death as well, because that which is before birth is bound to be after death.
Life is something which happens, expresses itself in between birth and death, and beyond birth and death.
Those who realize Life as such thus accept Life and death as they come as they are just expressions of the same phenomenon and yet beyond. |
