Be Happy  - We may start making of World as a Happy Family.

Today I find that there was a post from  Francois Gautier on 26 March at 09:48  mentioning that facebook has deleted his article, “Are Hindus Cowards” His grievances are true because the contents are speaking something true and the truth is found not easily acceptable. FB might be afraid of attacks from those who do not agree with the contents. What he posted on my wall is reproduced herebelow.

He writes - Face Book deleted my article "Are Hindus Cowards"; because of 'inappropriate content'! Do you think that is fair? the ISIS and Al Qaeda use freely Internet, Twitter and FB for their murderous purposes, but when you dare say that there is a problem with Islam, as I have personally witnessed a journalist, in Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, you are censored. I am reposting the article below. You judge. FG

ARE HINDUS COWARDS?

Someone wrote today in the face of the growing attacks on Mr Modi at the hands of the Christians, who are creating fake incidents and Mr Narendra Modi’s muted response, that “A dark fear is growing in our minds that we Hindus cannot rule. The art of ruling requires special upbringing, grooming and attitude besides guts and courage.And this raises the question: are Hindus good people, but nevertheless cowards?

“Muslims are bullies and Hindus cowards”, the Mahatma Gandhi once said. He was right – at least about Hindus: there has been in the past 1400 years, since the first invasions started, very few Shivaji Maharaj’s and Rana Pratap’s to fight the bloody rule of the Moghuls, or hardly any Rani of Jhansi’s to stand against the humiliating colonial yoke of the British. If a nation’s soul is measured by the courage of its children, then India is definitely doomed: without the Sikhs, whose bravery is unparalleled in the more recent history of India, Hindus would have even lost additional land to the Muslim invaders and there would have been infinitely more massacres of Hindus by Muslims during the first weeks of Partition. Are Hindus more courageous since they have an independent nation (thanks - not to the non-violence of Gandhi – but to the true nationalists, such as Sri Aurobindo and Tilak, who prepared the ground for the Mahatma at the beginning of the century)? Not at all! Because of Nehru’s absurd and naïve “hindi-chini-bhai-bhai” policy, the Indian army was shamefully routed in 1962 by the Chinese, a humiliation which rankles even today. Beijing is still able to hoodwink Indian politicians, by pretending it has good intentions, through the interviews the Chinese leaders very generously give to the Hindu newspaper (which should rightly be called the “anti-Hindu”) and Frontline (“the mouthpiece in India for the Chinese communist party”), while quietly keeping on giving nuclear know-how to Pakistan, as well as the missiles to carry their atomic warheads to Indian cities, arm separatists groups in the north-east and continuing to claim Arunachal Pradesh or Sikkim. Everywhere in the world, Hindus are hounded, humiliated, routed, be it in Fiji where, an elected democratic government was deposed in an armed coup, or in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where Muslims indulge in pogroms against Hindus every time they want to vent their hunger against India (read Taslima Nasreen’s book “Lalja”). In Kashmir, the land of yogis, where Hindu sadhus and sages have meditated for 5000 years, Hindus have been chased out of their ancestral home by death, terror and intimidation: there were 25% of Hindus at the beginning of the century in the Kashmir valley… and hardly a handful today.

And this is exactly what happened in Bombay, after the Ayodya mosque was brought down by Hindu militants : Muslims, angry of the “terrible” affront done to Islam, started pelting the police with stones and burning shops; but unfortunately for the Muslims, who have made of riots an art (please read the passages of the Koran which deal with riots as part of jihad), they found that for once, the Hindus under the leadership of the Shiv Sena, retaliated blow for blow – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – as the Israelis, who have been so long at the receiving end of Muslim bullying, say so well. It is not for us to condone violence: but how long can the Hindus be the butt of killings and persecution, be sacrificial lambs that meekly go to slaughter ? For in a way, Gandhi was right: Muslims are bullies, they have bullied India and they continue to bully Hindu India, as Pakistan demonstrates time and again by shelling in Kashmir, which make the US apply time and again pressure on India to ‘negotiate’ with Pakistan. Remember how Musharraf deceived New Delhi by receiving a well-meaning, but naïve Vajpayee at Lahore, while its soldiers were quietly invading the heights above Kargil.

The truth is that there are two standards in India: one for the Hindus; and one for the Muslims. Did the “fanatic” Hindus who brought down Ayodhya (and brought shame onto secular India, according to the Indian media) kill or even injure anyone in the process? No. But Muslims do not have such qualms. When Gandhi said they were bullies, he was being very nice or very polite. For forget about the millions of Hindus killed during the ten centuries of Muslim invasions, probably the worst Holocaust in world history; forget about the hundreds of thousands of Hindu temples razed to the ground, whose destruction - whatever our “secular” Hindus of today say - was carefully recorded by the Muslims themselves, because they were proud of it (see Aurangzeb’s own chronicles); forget about the millions of Hindus forcibly converted to Islam, and who sadly are now rallying under a banner, a language, a scripture which have nothing to do with their own ethos and culture. Yesterday and also today, when the Muslim world feels it has been slighted, in even a small measure by Hindus, these Infidels, who submitted meekly to Muslim rule for ten centuries, it retaliates a hundred fold – this is the only way one intimidates cowards. After Ayodhya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia (at least in a passive way by giving shelter for a while to Tiger Memon) with the help of Indian Muslims, planted bombs in the heart of Bombay and killed a thousand innocent human beings, most of them, once more, Hindus. Tomorrow, Pakistan might wage, with the blessing of the Muslim word, the ultimate jihad against India, which if necessary, will utilise the ultimate weapon, nuclear bombs. For has not the Koran said “'Choose not thy friends among the Infidels till they forsake their homes and the way of idolatry. If they return to paganism then take them whenever you find them and kill them” (Koran 98:51-9:5-4:89) ?

Unfortunately for India, the British, when they were here, had created an intellectual elite, to act as a go-between themselves and the “natives”, which today, thanks to the Nehruvian culture of successive Congress governments, looks at its own country, not by means of its own Indian eyes, but through a western prism, as fashioned by the white colonizers and the missionaries. These « Brown Shahibs », these true children of Macaulay, the « secular » politicians, the journalists, the top bureaucrats, in fact the whole westernised cream of India are very critical of anything Hindu. And what is even more paradoxical, is that 98% of them are Hindus ! It is they, who upon getting independence, have denied India its true identity and borrowed blindly from the British education system, without trying to adapt it to the unique Indian mentality and psychology; and it is they who are refusing to accept a change of India’s education system, which is totally western-oriented and is churning out machines, learning by heart boring statistics which are of little usefulness in life. And what India is getting from this education is a youth which apes the West : they go to Mac Donald’s, thrive on MTV culture, wear the latest Klein jeans and Lacoste T Shirts, and in general are useless, rich parasites, in a country which has so many talented youngsters who live in poverty. They will grow-up like millions of other western clones in the developing world, who wear a tie, read the New York Times and swear by liberalism and secularism to save their countries from doom. In time, they will reach elevated positions and write books and articles which make fun of their own country, ridicule the Narendra Modi’s of India and preside human-right committees, be “secular” high bureaucrats who take the wrong decisions and generally do tremendous harm to India, because it has been programmed in their genes to always run down their own country. It is said that a nation has to be proud of itself to move forward - and unless there is a big change in this intellectual elite, unless it is more conscious of its heritage and of India’s greatness, which has begun to happen in a small way, it is going to be very difficult for India to emerge as a real 21st century superpower.
One would be tempted to say in conclusion : “Arise ô Hindus, stop being cowards, remember that a nation requires Kshatriyas, warriors, to defend Knowledge, to protect one’s women and children, to guard one’s borders from the Enemy”…. And do Indians need a Narendra Modi to remind them of that simple truth ? FRANCOIS GAUTIER (*) This is no to say that all Muslims are fanatics; on the contrary, many of India’s Muslims are extremely gentle and their sense of hospitality unsurpassed. The same thing can be said about Pakistan: Pakistani politicians, for instance, are much more accessible than in India and Pakistan has its own identity, which cannot be wished away. No, the problem is not with Muslims, whether they are Indians or Pakistanis, the problem is with Islam, which teaches Indian Muslims from an early age, to look beyond their national identity to a country - the Mecca, in Saudi Arabia - which is not their country, to read a Scripture which is not written in their own language, to espouse a way of thinking, which is inimical to their own roots and indigenous culture. Indian Muslims, have to think of themselves first as Muslims and secondly only as Muslims. Muslim soldiers fighting against Pakistan in Kargil, have shown the way.

Whatever Francois Gautier wrote, he tried to show mirror to the communities concerned. Rajat Kumar Chakrabarti’s comments on the same page are there. He writes, “ Fantastic FG. Hat's off to you for this superb article. In my 90 years of life , went through 1942 "Bharat Chharo" Andolon, Great Calcutta Killing in 1946, Bombing of calcutta in 1941, famine during the war and last but not the least Partition refugees in Sealdah station, families picking up food from dustbins to feed their children. Had there been a few more men like "Late Balashaeb Thakre " and born earlier Hindus condition would not have been so bad as it stands today with spineless  leaders.

But I would like to add that instead of leading the world in the directions we have so far been following, should we not revisit our own attitude? The Prime Minister of India, Mr.Narendra Modi has repeatedly mentioned that he has been working and would now be continuing to work for the welfare of all the 125 crores Indians. No particular religion/caste will make any special mention in his efforts to modify. And the “Indians” word refers to all those who inhabit in India and except those who follow Hinduism, other inhabitants are either themselves converts to other religions or their forefathers might have changed their religion under some threat or greed but their DNA is still not different. For example, Indian Muslims are fighting bravely against Pakistani Muslims at Kargil or somewhere else. Our Muslim players show their sportsmanship fully not only against their Pakistani counterparts but muslim players from other countries as well. Mr.Jinnah’s stand of Two States for Two Religions at the time of Partition of India has miserably failed in course of time. As far as in free India the policies so far followed are concerned, they have not been found to be very much favouring Hinduism because our politicians so far followed their vote bank policy of dividing the inhabitants into different groups. India may soon adopt uniform policy of development for all of its inhabitants without granting any special privileges to any community or class on any ground.

Now there is some change in India but out of India, we find that much of the politics being followed is afraid of terrorism whether it is being practiced by Muslims or any other. That requires changes. Should we not change our attitude now towards religion by applying our brain power to find out the way to have mental peace for all? Religion as we generally understand is nothing but a set of beliefs based on the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. In course of time, we found that the religions which have come into existence have somewhat same messages what one religion has but the other has made some modifications. But their interpretations have been changed and the conflicts have arisen. This proves that the code of conducts defined under different religions have utterly failed to bring about peace and happy life on the earth. We should put aside all the codes so far defined in the name of the religions and write down afresh code of conduct for the sake of humanity. It appears that it may not be possible as the so called heads of Religions and the people who trade in arms, may not permit for the fear that their shops may have to be closed down. But we will have to speak out against terrorism whether it is directed against one religion or more. Those who may try to keep silence for any fear would be wiped out soon. Better, we may die fighting against the misrule than to die as cowards. We will have to work even forcefully to achieve the task of making the world as Religion Free World.

Be Happy  - We may start making of World as a Happy Family.

Be Happy – Get Salvation Through Your Teacher (Guru).

Guru Agya Se jo shish karayee

So  Katni  bhakti  phal  deyee.

[Whatever the disciple does in obedience to the orders of Teacher (Guru),

brings to him the fruit of devotion]

Obeying the orders of the Teacher has great importance. Whosoever carries out the orders of his Teacher begins to get the wealth of pleasures with blessings of God from that very time. If one conforms to whatever is happing through the blessings of his Teacher or the Almighty, this too is the obedience of the Teacher because the way is suggested by the Teacher only. W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943 mentions , “ You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.”

 

To Soami main sevak tera

Bhaven sir de sul mera.

(Thou art the Lord and I am Thy servant, If Thou so likest, Thou mayest have my head cut off)

If it is the pleasure of God that the devotee should be executed, he should consider it to be the special Mercy of God and cheerfully prepare to get himself executed and pray, ‘O Supreme Lord! I am Thine, whether You put me in fire or hurl me down the mountain or throw me into the river to be carried away with current, I am cheerfully prepared for every situation. You may do as you wish’. Any devotee who carries out the orders of his Teacher like this is really blessed with His Grace. The Supreme Power grants perfect devotion if a disciple follows the orders of his Teacher strictly in the spirits his Teacher tells him to follow. So long one does not have the perception, he can not follow the orders/teachings. The Teacher knows the condition of every disciple and accordingly explains which way is better for him/her. He never gives orders/teachings at his own but he is directed through the sense of devotion the disciple pays to his teachings. It also depends upon the disciple to decipher what is good or bad and accordingly he puts up his curiosity before his Teacher to guide. He can put up both situations also for seeking enlightenment. Teachers open the door. You need to enter by yourself.

When one gets enlightenment, he/she gets on the right path of the salvation with the confidence that the trouble will now be over. He would have no bigger desire than the salvation. Keeping in view the devotion, the Teacher also keeps himself busy to find out the best way for his disciples. He who has recognised the Teacher and seeks his guidance, can very well understand that his Teacher will tell him the way of salvation. Once this process starts, none can hinder the way.

Juke Hirdaya Guru partiti,

Kala Karam vase nahin jiti

(Kala and Karma cannot dominate over or do any harm to the person who has faith in his Teacher).

Be Happy – Get Salvation Through Your Teacher (Guru).

Be Happy – Give Up Your Worries.

Would you kindly recall or ask someone senior in your family to tell you what you had brought on earth when you took birth? You had brought nothing along with you. And you will carry nothing with you when you will expire. When you brought nothing into this world and you can not take back anything whether that be earned by you out of your own efforts or you may get as inheritance, why should you worry about the future of your materialistic achievements/possessions?

Nothing matters so much that we should throw ourselves into a state of panic about it. No happening is so important that we should let ourselves be exiled from inner peace and mental calm for its sake. There is nothing to worry about.  Let yourself really feel this message.  Let it sink deeply into your bones and reside inside your heart.  You are always being provided for and taken care of by Him.  We need to consider and agree that there is a divine power running the bigger show.  Behind the scenes it is always there making sure that you receive exactly what is needed, so that your fullest potentiality comes through. 

The Universe is pure intelligent energy in form.  It makes sure that everything unnecessary in your life will not happen. The events, people and situations that must manifest in your future are all part of your "divine schedule".  Nothing is by accident or coincidence because God simply doesn't make mistakes.  Your job is to relax, be grateful for every lesson you're given, and enjoy the journey as much as you possibly can to the very end. But you need to care for every thing what you are provided for. If you don’t, you may not get an opportunity to get further.

Whenever we worry about ourselves, our kins, our assets etc. it means that we are not trusting in life, ourselves or God.  We stop believing that there is a highly intelligent all loving conscious force that is here now, leading us deeper into our very being and higher into our greatest ecstasy. Worrying is the warning light that goes on when your mind has taken control over you.  You suddenly start to believe every little thing the mind tells you!  You start believing that you are a small inferior limited being with horrible karma, untrustworthy insights, no real direction and very little power.  You forget that you are an unlimited soul who is intimately connected to an all powerful deeply intelligent God Source that loves you all the time.  When you stop and get curious about Him, and begin to deeply honor this connection, you'll stop worrying and start trusting. You'll begin to understand that there is a bigger source of "you" that lives within you and all around you and it the force that's truly in charge of it all. 

An interesting thing you might notice is that no matter how many times you try not to worry, your mind still returns to its old habit again and again.  This is because one cannot permanently stop this type of deep fearful pattern with pure mental force and will power.  There is only one thing you can do to stop the worry habit permanently.  This is to take a higher spiritual path and transcend the mind entirely.  This is only done by realizing the truth of who and what you really are.  When you see how amazingly big, bright, brilliant, and loving you actually are, the mind becomes a bit embarrassed of all the ridiculous things it was worrying about and starts paying more attention to the divinity inside. 

 With enough introspection there will come a day when you will step back from the mind.  You will notice that all these thoughts flying through your mind are only momentary indicators pointing you to the life you're creating, and have nothing to do with the divine master who is creating it behind the scenes.  Every time you start looking deeper into your essential divine nature, you'll discover that who you are cannot be limited by any ideas or concepts at all.  You are what is forming the concepts, the creativity behind the play, designing and dreaming everything!  You are the source of creativity who is painting the canvas each moment of life, telling the colors to dance, sing and splash in every direction....and best of all your main job is to enjoy the show!  Seeing this deeper truth is your one-way ticket to transcend the mind and find total freedom from worry forever.

The more time you spend each day noticing what is beyond thought, behind the mind, and creating the consciousness that you are, there will come a day when the mind drops away falling by itself completely!  You'll be free from all the fearful impressions that used to arise in the mind and find a more creative spontaneous approach to life.  The worrying habits the mind was addicted to will seem like painful shoes that were always too small to wear. You won't be able to try them on again!  You'll discover a more natural state of living,  that lives in the vibration of trust.  You trust that whatever future the Universe provides is the right one for you. 

You are here to master your life.  You can do this when you realize that you are the creative witness who is directing and producing the movie you are viewing!  This means you simply stop believing in all the fear-based illusions you are fed from the outer world and your inner world.  All those worried thoughts you have are based in the idea that you're not an infinite being with divine manifesting power.  Once you stop giving away your power to the world and to your mind, you discover what is truly real.  The piece of rope that you once thought was a snake, you now know it is just a rope.  You are not afraid to pick it up and play with it.  You also have the choice to drop it, step over it and move on to something more amazing. 

If you want to live a life without fear, that is truly free from poverty, panic, arguments, and worry, you'll need to do something dramatic and radically new.  You'll need to expand your consciousness and give up your ingenuine aspirations. Earn yourself enough what you deserve and need without snatching other’s right. If you wish to live peacefully, let other live so. Give up your worries for the causes beyond your reach.

Be Happy – Give up your worries.

Be Happy – You Will Never Die.

In our worldly exchanges, we term Death to describe cessation or permanent termination of all biological functions which sustain a living organism. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. It is universal truth and we know that all known organisms inevitably experience death. When we know that death is an inevitable truth, why should we worry about it? Later or sooner we will die – whatever be the reason. The reasons which commonly bring about death include old age, predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, murder and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal expiry.

But the question is whether we will die or not. The answer is, Yes, we will die. But you will not die. For this you may have to know -

First, what constitutes death? It is clear enough that people die when their lives end, but we are not  clear what constitutes the ending of a person's life. 

Second, in what sense might death or posthumous events harm us? Why are we so fearful and do not wish to die? To answer this question, we will need to know what it is for something to be in our interests. Why do we weep or cry when we see one of our dear attains death.

Death means end the vital processes which are those by which organisms develop or maintain themselves. These processes include chemosynthesis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, cell generation, and maintenance of homeostasis. Then death is the ending of the vital processes by which an organism sustains itself. 

Let us add that ‘the ending of life’ is itself potentially ambiguous. On one hand it might be a process wherein our lives are progressively extinguished, until finally they are gone. On the other it might be a momentary event. This event might be understood in three ways. First, it might be the ending of the dying process—the loss of the very last trace of life. This is ‘denouement death’. Second, it might be the point in the dying process when extinction is assured, no matter what is done to stop it. Call this moment ‘threshold death’. A third possibility is that life ends when the physiological systems of the body irreversibly cease to function as an integrated whole. We may call this ‘integration death’. 

Death and What We Are

Death for you and me is constituted by the irreversible discontinuation of the vital processes by which we are sustained. Perhaps it is not bad to die at an advanced enough age, for people who live long enough may be ground down by life until they give up many of their goals. Also, they will have attained many of their aspirations. If already satisfied, or given up, a desire cannot be thwarted, even by death, so as we lose our motivation for living, death ceases to be objectionable to us. Perhaps death is bad for us only if premature in the sense that it comes when we still have interests such as salient desires that propel us forward in life, and only if meeting these interests is a real prospect.

We are left to wonder whether death would ever cease to be objectionable were we not ravaged by bad health and other hardships. It would be bad to live forever, even under the best of circumstances if we consider the relationship between our identities and the desires that motivate us to live.

Consider a woman who wants to die. She might still take the view that if she is to live on, then she should be well fed and clothed. She wants food and clothing on condition she remain alive. In this sense her desires are conditional, and do not give her reason to live. Contrast a father who is committed to rearing a beloved daughter: he desires unconditionally that the child do well, and his desire gives him reason to live, because he can rear his child only if he survives. In this sense, his desire is categorical, or unconditional. Categorical desires are essential to identity, and give meaning to life. Through categorical desires, we are attached to projects or relationships that are definitive of the self; faced with their destruction, we would feel our lives are meaningless, and that in an important sense we cannot survive as the persons we once were.

The bearing on death is, first, that people have good reason to condemn a death that is premature in the sense that it thwarts their categorical desires. Second, mortality is good, since people who live long enough eventually will lose the categorical desires with which they identify. Life will lose its novelty, and oppressive boredom will set in. To avoid ennui, super-seniors would have to replace their fundamental desires, again and again. But this is to abandon their identities; it is tantamount to death.

Lives of unimaginative routine will eventually grow stale if extended long enough. Of course, this is not supposed to comfort ordinary mortals, most of whom will die long before routine undermines the joy in living. But, we might avoid boredom by adding to our pursuits, and varying the way we approach them, without abandoning certain core interests that define us. Second, many of us would welcome a possibility of gradually transforming our interests and projects over time. 

Transformation is not death. It is distinct from, and preferable to, annihilation. Transformation would be death only if identity were wholly a matter of retaining (most of) our psychological features over time. However, it is questionable that persistence requires this kind of connectedness. Even if our persistence hinges on our psychological features, transformation need not be death, since transformation is consistent with the gradual, continuous change of our psychological features. If we could live endlessly, the stages of our lives would display reduced connectedness, yet they could be continuous, which is a property that is important in the kind of survival most of us prize. Even after drinking at the fountain of eternal youth, we would tend to focus on relatively short stretches of our indefinitely extensive lives, and over these periods we would prize connectedness, since we are animated by specific projects and relationships that can be developed only if there are strong interconnections among the temporal stages of our lives. However, sometimes we would turn our attention to relatively long stretches of life, and then, prizing continuity, we would phase in new and worthwhile undertakings that build upon, and do not wholly replace, the old.

We fear death because it is harmful for those projects which the person who is going to die had taken up and are still incomplete. The person who is going to die, will go out leaving behind everything as it is but the benefits of those projects won’t come up for the targeted beneficiaries. They would stand deprived of and be harmed by the death. Even if death is usually bad for those who die, it is possible that death need not be bad for us, if we prepare ourselves suitably. This might be possible if some form of preferentialism is true, and if, by altering our desires, we could cease to have any interests that dying would impair. For then we might be able to change our desires, in this sense: abandon all desires that death might thwart. Among these are desires we can satisfy only if we live on for a few days, but also desires we cannot possibly satisfy within the span of a normal lifetime, and the desire for immortality itself.

Changing of the desires would insulate us from harm from death by leaving us with no interests with which dying interferes. Unfortunately, our desires may not be malleable enough to fully change them. Moreover, even if we could fully change, doing so would have a significant drawback: it would leave us with an impoverished conception of our interests. For example, we could not have an unconditional desire that some project of ours succeed, or an unconditional desire that a loved one flourish. We could retain conditioned versions of these desires, namely: should I live on, let my wife flourish, and my project succeed. But limiting myself to a conditioned regard for my wife's well-being precludes my loving her: if I love her, I cannot be indifferent about the way an event will affect her so long as I will not live through it. Moreover, conditioned desires cannot motivate us to live. It is unconditional desires that prompt us to live on. Hence in avoiding all desires that would leave us vulnerable to death, we must give up the view that life is worth living, as well as the projects and concerns that constitute grounds for thinking that life is good. Any reason to (want to) live is an excellent reason to want not to die; to avoid the latter, we must avoid the former.

However, the core idea of adapting our desires is useful, if not taken to an extreme. It is prudent to avoid taking on goals we cannot possibly attain, and hence prudent to eschew projects that cannot possibly be completed during the course of a normal lifetime.

Everyone experiences death. Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life. Some people know ahead of time when their death will occur. Terminal illnesses, when diagnosed ahead of time, allow a person to set his or her affairs in order, make relationships right, and say goodbye to loved ones. In these cases, every person involved has a chance to gradually adjust and make peace with death, as much as possible. However, not everyone has this chance. Many deaths occur suddenly. Death can, and often does, strike without warning. No one is promised tomorrow. The only thing we can count on is today. 

Many people around the world turn to religion to answer questions about death and the afterlife, especially when someone is facing his or her own mortality. Strangely, even a brief glance at many of the world’s religions reveals that many theologies glamorize death, promising rewards in the afterlife, including increased understanding of God and the universe and even, in some cases, supernatural powers that were unavailable during the mortal life. Death often seems more attractive than being alive.

But the reality of death is that it should be avoided at all costs. Death is the worst thing to ever happen in all of existence. Life is a precious gift we are unable to recreate once it’s gone. The truth about death lays plain the harshness of the grave … but also the true beauty of the life we already have. 

Any study of the nature of death begs an important foundational question: Why must things die in the first place? Indeed, death is a grand mystery. Throughout time, every major religion, philosophy, and spiritual train of thought has sought to explain this mystery. It is a subject that touches the life of every man and woman, uniting the entire human race under a cloud of inevitable mortality. The rich and the poor alike meet the same end; the black and the white both go to the grave; the powerful and the humble all leave this planet eventually.

Interestingly, scientific research into single-celled organisms reveals that the nature of life, on a cellular level, does not automatically include a self-destruct mechanism for death. In other words, it appears that death is an unnatural part of life. Yet despite this, everything on earth eventually dies.

Many lines of religious thought simply accept the inevitability of death and instead try to offer better alternatives that await the faithful in the afterlife. These ideas bring comfort to many people who have lost loved ones or are facing death themselves, but they leave others wondering, “Why must death exist? Wouldn’t an all-powerful God eradicate death? Shouldn’t all life inherently live forever?”

So the question of the nature of death also brings profound implications about the nature of God. Maybe, some reason, God is not as powerful as He says, since the problem of death remains. Maybe God numbs our sensibilities after death, if we are promised happiness in paradise despite the horrors unfolding on our loved ones who are still alive. Maybe, if living a bad life truly results in eternal torment afterward, God is not really as loving as so many people claim. Maybe there are actually many pathways to God, or many such gods, and the mystery of death will be solved differently for each person, depending on their philosophies in life. Maybe there is no such thing as death, but instead a continual rebirth through reincarnation. Maybe, according to a train of thought that has grown in popularity since the 19th century, life is nothing more than a biochemical accident, and death brings with it a never-ending state of nothingness; the most common conclusion drawn from this line of thinking is that there is no God at all.

The mystery of death is so profound that, despite the millennia of religious doctrine, mythology, scientific research, and the many theories and explanations that exist on the subject, people today are more confused than ever about it. Even within individual religious groups there is often a stark difference of opinion on the nature of death. To see this, walk around a cemetery and cremation places and note the different inscriptions you may find there.

Clearly, the only way to decipher this profound mystery is to find an authoritative source of truth that will expose all error and remove the need for speculation. Are we fortunate enough to have such an authority? We believe so.

Now, we discuss this subject from another angle. Assume that you are like the Sun, eternally bright, warm and healing.  There is nothing in this Universe that can put your light out.  Your brilliance will continue on and on... for eternity.  Your inner light is always on, blazing bright and expanding.  You shine without even knowing you are shining.  The light of your awareness is continuous, even when the mind clouds your vision the Sun is always shining behind it.

The light that you are is forever here now.  There is always a flame burning within you. Even when you think all is lost, hopeless and dark, it is there.  Even after your body wears out, and you physically leave this amazing vehicle, you will see that the light of your creative lumin-essence goes on and on.  Something will continue to experience life, reality, and consciousness.  Death is the greatest illusion of them all.

 

If you truly want to get the most out of your time and experience the greatest experiences possible on Earth, you must first accept deep in your heart that there is no end to this experience called life.  You must know it deep down, so it becomes a part of you.  When you trust that which never dies is forever inside you, eternally free at the core, you become fearless and unstoppable in all that you do.  Every thing you do becomes successful.  Any goal you want to achieve will manifest because you will have no fear.  Your approach will be unfailing because you have nothing to gain or lose.  You can finally leap into the unknown with total faith, courage, enthusiasm and joy!  

The person who realizes that he/she is not really a person, but a soul that lives in this body is the only one who can truly be unconditionally loving and free.  Everyone else will give love with conditions and be attached to some form of expectation.  This is because they are attached to their ego, thoughts and body on some level.  They think this form is all that they are and thus are limited by it.  The advanced being knows otherwise.  The truly liberated soul has realized that they are pure undifferentiated consciousness that is beyond all thought and form, and is grounded and well established in the joy and freedom of being absolute unconditional love.

When you accept that there is no death in this lifetime, you begin to see everything with new eyes.  The typical stressful situations you're used to suddenly become exciting fresh new adventures!  Those people who challenge you on the deepest levels are truly your greatest teachers, and are welcomed into your heart on the most intimate levels.  This is how we can know and experience what real peace is like.  There is no longer any resistance, judgment or fear because you realize you are the eternal source of love.  All is forgiven and everyone is your friend.  It is truly discovering heaven on Earth, every single day of your life.

Recognition of the deathlessness in you is the fastest way to true freedom.  It comes instantly from a deeper investigation of your spiritual nature and an honoring of the very essence of your being.  This is what really matter most in this lifetime.  The source of who you are is where the ego life ends and the spiritual life begins.  You know you cannot bring any of this "stuff" with you when you die, so why invest so much of your time and energy into it?  Do not be attached to anything that you can place a label or name upon. Everything one day will fall away from you, like old leaves on a maple tree when hit by the autumn breeze.  Simply invest all your time and consciousness exploring the eternal light and love that you are.

It is like we were told as children to be afraid of a snake that is really a piece of rope.  It sure looks like a snake in the dark when the lights are dim, yet when you turn on the light and see the truth you just begin to laugh and laugh and laugh!  When you fully accept that death is not real, then you really start to smile and truly become alive.  You stop being afraid of everything in life completely.  You also stop procrastinating and start doing everything you always wanted to do.  You stop holding back your love, your words of appreciation, and your sacred heart energy, and every meaningful thing you wished to say to those who you care most about.  You start to share the gold which you always felt could not be shared.

In truth there is nothing to be afraid of.  Everything is always on a divine cosmic plan.  The projection your mind has created in who and what you think death is or who you are is still a small slice of the truth.  The totality of you is beyond what you can imagine.  You don't have to be afraid anymore.  Are you afraid to look in the mirror?  You may not like what you see, yet you know that what you see can change if you're willing to look at yourself differently.  This tiny shift in perception is all it takes to step into the deathless experience of life.  This is my invitation for you.  Open your mind and see what its like to live the next 24 hours of your life knowing deep in your heart that you will never ever die.

You will find that the mind resists this experience or tries to manipulate and micromanage it.  The mind is used to living in being in control.  To live a life without fear is the purpose of your life, yet if the mind hears there is nothing to worry about it will truly get worried!  The mind is used to its job of being afraid and time bound in the 3D world of polarity thinking.  It doesn't know anything about living for an eternity.  That seems absurd, there are so many practical things to accomplish and being absolutely trusting would mean that nothing would get done.   Give your mind the option to explore what is behind the door.  Imagine what it may be like to just explore the sensation and knowing that you are an eternal being who will go on and on forever.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If your present body stops its working, your inner will continue to enjoy your possessions what your friends, relatives and those who were jealous to you were not wishing you to enjoy otherwise. Now, you are freer and can get all the enjoyments without any bar.

Take it granted that once your body stops to function, it may not feel any pain whatever your body is subjected to. Why do you worry? That was made of earth, air, water, sky and fire and after death, the body is dissolved into these five elements. Your inner remains safe and free and that never dies. Death occurs to your body only because that is mortal one.

Be Happy – You will never die.
