DEATH IS NATURE’S STYLE OF SNATCHING ALL YOUR ATTACHMENTS IN ONE SHOT

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). Nature of consciousness is just awareness or illumination like a light bulb. 

Mind is the reason and basis of your attachments is also proved by the fact that in sleep, you forget all your attachments, simply because in sleep, the basis of your attachments i.e. your mind is not present. This mind, too is physical but is subtle, unlike the physical body which is gross. In sleep, though nothing exists in your experience and yet with your waking up your mind becomes functional again and with that your attachment too, become alive again. Similarly, this mind or subtle body is not lost with the death but remains intact even after death and becomes functional again with your birth in a new body and all your attachments too become alive again. This is for the reason that, this mind or subtle body is the storehouse of all your cravings; all your desires (vasanas) in, essence. 

Death and sleep are, thus, not a permanent solution but just temporary pauses in continuity of this game of attachments because sleep and death cannot destroy the basis of your attachments. The nature does it for you, by way of death, only because you are not doing it on your own. Now, if you can drop these attachments, on your own, while you are in this body then there is nothing left for the death to be snatched from you and that would be the end of this game of attachments, once and for all. 

Now, you cannot drop these attachments, one by one, given innumerable attachments which you have. However, if you just drop the basis of these attachments, then these attachments, too, will drop in one go and you do not have to drop or fight with them individually.  Because, the mother of your attachments, is your mind and if you drop your mind, if you distance from your mind, then you can drop these attachments, in one shot. By dropping your mind, you obliterate the very basis of attachments and with that the very foundation of this physical existence i.e. mind, too, is destroyed, for good. When there is no attachment or craving or desire (vasanas) left, then there cannot be any reason for physical body because body is only for physical expression of your attachments or desires.   

 

So, if you can drop your attachments, on your own, by your own efforts while you are in this body then there is no death for you and if there is no death, there cannot be any birth for you too. Now, when I say there is no death for you, what I want to say is, that for sure, this body will drop when the time comes but you will die a death, for which there is no birth i.e. you die in metaphysical sense, which is that you are released from this wheel of life for good because you have killed, by your own efforts, the very basis of these attachments. This dissolution or merger into this existence is known as mukti. moksha, nirvana or liberation – liberation from this physical existence. Meditation is nothing but dissolution of mind only.

DON’T THROW BACK, BECAUSE, ABSORPTION IS YOUR REAL NATURE.

Did you notice that, this existence never throws back, anything, but just absorbs all, that happens here? Why? Because, this existence is pure consciousness, nature of which, is awareness and awareness is absorbing. That’s the reason, that you don’t find any sign of all the happenings here, so far, because absorption, is the nature of this existence. The existence, is an absorber, which absorbs all, that happens, in its lap. The consciousness or the existence, just exists, as a being, as a presence, without any doing and that’s why, the term existence i.e. something, which simply exists. The existence just exists and has no doing or intention of its own. It, has no liking, disliking, judgement, opinion etc of its own. It has no choice or discretion of its own and that’s why, this existence, doesn’t react or resist anything or anyone but it just lets happen everything, without any judgement, without any reaction or resistance of its own. Now, the same consciousness, same awareness i...

आध्यात्मिक होने का अर्थ है, समय से पहले अपने ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ देना

आध्यात्मिक होने का अर्थ है , समय से पहले अपने ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ देना । आपने देखा की , एक गुब्बारा जो शुरू में हवा से पूरा भरा हुआ होता है , वही ग़ुब्बारा कुछ समय के बाद स्वतः ही पिचक जाता है यानी की बिना कुछ किये उस ग़ुब्बारे की सारी हवा निकल जाती है। अब ऐसा इसलिए होता है क्योंकि समय के साथ उस ग़ुब्बारे की हवा भी धीरे धीरे रिसती है और एक समय आता है जब उसकी हवा पूरी निकल जाती है। अब यह एक तरीक़ा है ग़ुब्बारे की हवा के निकलने का। और , दूसरा तरीक़ा है की आप उस ग़ुब्बारे को स्वयं फोड़ दें , बजाय इसके की उसे समय के भरोसे पर छोड़ें। तो पहला तरीक़ा है , प्राकृतिक और दूसरा तरीक़ा है , आपके अपने प्रयासों से उसकी हवा को निकाल देना। अध्यात्म का मतलब भी कुछ ऐसा ही है। आध्यात्मिक होने का मतलब है समय से पहले अपने प्रयासों से इस शरीर रूपी ग़ुब्बारे को फोड़ कर इसकी हवा को निकाल देना। यह जो शरीर आप देखते हैं वह और कुछ नहीं बल्कि एक ग़ुब्बारा ही है जिसमें अस्तित्व की यह ऊर्जा यानी की चेतना क़ैद है , इस शरीर से बँधी हुई है। चेतना हमारी ही नहीं बल्कि जो भी यहाँ दिखाई देता है उस सभी की वास्तविकता है। अ...

DISSOLUTION OF THE MIND – HOW?

Peace is our original nature, because, we exist, in total peace, in our sleep. However, in our waking, we never know about peace. In our waking, we are never peaceful and are rather disturbed, because, mind is active. Mind is a disturbance, to our peace. Thought, is a disturbance to our peace, because, mind is not our original nature. In sleep, because, this mind disappears, for a while and hence, we exist in our original nature i.e. in complete peace.   Our reality is consciousness. So, the whole spirituality and spiritual practices, are about dissolution of this mind, into consciousness, so that you can always exist, in your original nature i.e. in total peace. Temporary disappearance of mind, in sleep, is really, not a solution. Because, post-waking up, this mind comes awake again and the same drama unfolds. The permanent solution, therefore, is total dissolution of this mind, in our waking i.e. into consciousness, as opposed, to disappearance, of the mind, for time being, in sl...
