Do before you die


Every beginning comes with an ending, every Sun raise comes with a Sunset, and every birth comes with a death. Everything has 2 sides as created by the creator. If there is a high, there is a low; if there is a dark, there is a light; if there is ignorance, there is knowledge. That’s the law of nature. We may not realize that but we cannot deny that.

So considering this, there will be a day when I need to give back everything which I have accumulated. Of course all of the things which I have and I am claiming as owner are just my accumulation and nothing else. Neither I have created any of them nor I am owning that completely. This is a game of time, which I am playing. They were not mine and for now they belong to me and someday will come, irrespective of I want or not, they will go back. They includes all my properties & emotions, relations & relative, information & mind, including the whole body. Only thing which is unknown till now is When is that D day. That’s the goal of this game. If mankind would have known that, they would have lived entirely a different life then the current life. They should have played the game entirely different then they are playing today.

In this earth everyday night, millions of people go to bed, out of them thousands people do not get up. May be some of them have lived enough or some of them early goer. Everyday millions of people go out of their home and there are thousands who never come back to their home alive. This is not the instance of one particular day but the fact of everyday. We are the only set of most fortunate people who are still not out. Still there are fortunate people whose relatives/near/dear are also not out. So When we get up in the morning, that itself is a bliss and sign of fortunate. Also when we get up in the morning and come to know that all our side people also wake up with us, then it is fact of delight. But still we all agree that the day will come when we will go with that thousands number and not in millions.

So once I make sure that I am fortunate as well as delight as I got up in the morning and came to know that all my near dears are also there, what should I do till I go to bed and join a period of uncertainty? Is not it worth thinking about. Should I accumulate more and more? Accumulate more money, more people, more fun, and more miseries? If I have to leave them, then what is the point accumulating them? If there is no point accumulating things, then Is not it important to know the real game? Is not it important to know the truth behind all these? This is for all of you to have a deep thought on this.

I have decided mine. I understood that the whole world, even the whole universe, even the whole cosmos are not many as they appear but there are just one. Left hand may think that there are 2 hands but for the complete body; all the body parts are not many but just a single unit, the same body. But till the point we are identified with a small part of this universe we cannot see the oneness. To experience the oneness, we need to be the feelings of the whole cosmos. Such a kind of concept is not digestible to the mind. Because it has own us completely, acquired us, covered us fully. Being a lateral entry in our body, still mind claims all possession. Yes, when we born, we never felt the presences of our mind, when we passed our entire childhood days we never got acquired by our mind. Slowly we accumulated emotions & information, worldly material possession and sensual comfortless, relative identity and false dignity. Mind started assuming that, all the accumulations are nothing but me, it keeps growing with the same kind of ignorance and I am here. So If I try to experience the whole cosmos using this mind then it is quite impossible. A farmer is farming on his land and decades after it is discovered that there is a goldmines below the land. Farmer has no idea as his business is just in the surface of that land. So is the case when I try to understand the feelings of oneness using my mind? So solution is going beyond the mind.

Is it possible to go beyond the mind? When I enquired about this then I got to know that, “Yes, it is very much possible”. The first step is to make the mind silenced. Mind is an ever moving ever talking, ever listening, every sensing entity. It never stops, not even when body sleeps. Then how to Silence the mind?  Further enquiry leads me to a sloka in Gita

असंशयं महाबाहो,मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् |   अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेयवैराग्येण  गृह्यते ||


Meaning: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by constant practice and by detachment.

So life itself is a Yoga. Yoga is union.  We need to be very careful with which we are united, if it is with ignorance, if it is with unreal, if it is with darkness then we need to detach from there. That can be achieved by uniting to the truth, uniting to the knowledge and uniting to the light. So true life is all about practising this transformations. True life is all about living to realise “Aham bramhasmi”.  It is realising that “I am not a human being trying to have divine experience, but I am a divine being trying to have a human experience”

So Do before you die!!
