What we know as death, is nothing but just a nature’s way of snatching, all your attachments in one go. With death, all your attachments drop automatically, without your doing. However, this release from attachments, in the form of death, is only temporary and is of no help because with your birth again, in a new body, your attachments too, come up again. This is for the simple reason that, with death, only the physical body is lost but not the basis of attachments.   The basis of your attachments is your mind because, attachments are of the mind and are because of the mind. In fact, another name of mind is nothing but attachment only. Mind is the mother of all attachments because these ideas like ‘me’, ‘mine and ‘others’ around which all attachments gather, are in the mind only. The consciousness which is your reality has no attachment or clinging in it, because consciousness is pure awareness, pure seeing ( drishta) ; pure knowing ( gyata ) or pure witnessing ( sakshi) .

Please know that, if you live in darkness then you will also need a lamp ( diya ). But, if you live in the light, then you, obviously, do not need a lamp. Now, you need to know and remember that your reality is consciousness and because consciousness is conscious or chetan by itself and that’s why. it is known as consciousness or chetana . Consciousness, thus, is light by itself and in itself, because consciousness is in the nature of illumination. This is like lighting a lamp. The light falls on objects around and shows up all, that is there. Similarly, consciousness shows up, all that is there, because consciousness is illumination or awareness itself. Consciousness, thus, knows all that is there,   You are, thus, light by yourself and in yourself. Hence, if you live in the light of your consciousness then you will never need any other light ( diya) or depend on any other source of light because consciousness is the ultimate light and source of all lights. That is what being...

Do you remember taking your last flight to a destination? Just few hours before leaving home, you thinking – whether, I will get a cab or not? Will the cab arrive in time or not? Yet, not only, you got a cab but the cab arrived in time too. Now, before leaving home, for airport – will I reach airport in time or not? Will, I miss my flight because of bad traffic of the city? Still, you arrived at the airport well in time. Finally, you sat in the aircraft and as the aircraft left parking bay for take-off and now the worst ever fear - will I reach safely to my destination? Will the plane crash and I will die? Will the plane be hijacked etc? And lo! You arrived safely at your destination.   This is just one example, which I have quoted from our daily lives but just know, as how the mind has been playing games with you, all the time. If, you look back at your life so far, you will notice that this is how, your mind played games with you, for innumerable times, but how many times your...
