Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Possessions, desires and duties form our bonds of attachment to the world. Though they are important to live a meaningful life, they also create chains and shackles when there is time to leave. Who would want to embrace the unknown leaving everything he has loved so dearly, behind. Nonetheless, I feel that the extent to which one may fear death also depends on the society one belongs to, and the samskarams one receives. Amongst Hindu’s who are brought up on the staple diet of Geeta, death is much more acceptable and not feared. Similarly Jains who think of death as a celebration are generally more prepared for it. West, on the other hand, is choked with the fear of death. Middle ages in Europe specially instilled this morbid fear to get people’s attention to church. There is absolute phobia about dying. Ageism is a big issue in the West. And imagine, a major worry in the West is also cost of their own funeral for which arrangements have to be made before leaving. In India, one prays and must bear a son so that he may die in peace! (in lighter vein) Just some random thoughts;;;RegardsNeelamOn 8 April 2010 18:32, Sheevani <sheevani147 wrote: Dear All, Namaste.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Dear Neelam ji, namaste, Essentially I do agree with you. In the West, funeral costs are a great worry, and many older folk have insurance policies specifically to cover funeral costs. Funeral costs can range from 5,000 -10,000 Pounds in UK, depanding on location as well as type of coffins/decorations/flowers/number of cars etc. Open air cremations are not allowed, and the care/storage of dead bodies remain with the funeral directors, who will allow access to the body whenever requested. For burials, there is added cost of purchasing the plot of land. Most westerners especially ethnic white folk end up in the pub after the funeral to drink to the deceased and bid him " bon voyage " They dont beleieve in fixed grieving periods. The kids are back at work the following day after the funeral. I think issues like " quality of life " prior death also influences his/her mental readiness.. For some there is the suddenness of the event, and for others it a longer more painful journey through pain, disease and loss of dignity due to dependancy on others, for basic needs of care and sustenence. warmest regards Sheevani , neelam gupta <neelamgupta07 wrote: > > Possessions, desires and duties form our bonds of attachment to the world. > Though they are important to live a meaningful life, they also create chains > and shackles when there is time to leave.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Well Sheevani ji, it does add to a dying man's woes!RegardsNeelamOn 8 April 2010 20:15, Sheevani <sheevani147 wrote: Dear Neelam ji, namaste, Essentially I do agree with you. In the West, funeral costs are a great worry, and many older folk have insurance policies specifically to cover funeral costs. Funeral costs can range from 5,000 -10,000 Pounds in UK, depanding on location as well as type of coffins/decorations/flowers/number of cars etc. Open air cremations are not allowed, and the care/storage of dead bodies remain with the funeral directors, who will allow access to the body whenever requested. For burials, there is added cost of purchasing the plot of land. Most westerners especially ethnic white folk end up in the pub after the funeral to drink to the deceased and bid him " bon voyage " They dont beleieve in fixed grieving periods. The kids are back at work the following day after the funeral. I think issues like " quality of life " prior death also influences his/her mental readiness.. For some there is the suddenness of the event, and for others it a longer more painful journey through pain, disease and loss of dignity due to dependancy on others, for basic needs of care and sustenence. warmest regards Sheevani , neelam gupta <neelamgupta07 wrote: > > Possessions, desires and duties form our bonds of attachment to the world. > Though they are important to live a meaningful life, they also create chains > and shackles when there is time to leave.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Dear Kulbir Ji,I have a different take on this. Not having an Ego should not be confused with Cowardice. Just because some one was brave enough to Face Death, does NOT mean they Did NOT have Fear. It just means they OVERCAME that Fear through Bravery.Only the True Yogi can Die without Fear, without having to OVERCOME FEAR of Death, because for Him/Her Fear does not exist, Becaue he/she KNOWS he/she is NOT the Body. -Manoj Kulbir Bains <lalkitabkb Sent: Thu, April 8, 2010 8:12:19 AMRe: Re: spritual practise success/failure Dear Manoj ji,// As long as even the slightest remnant of Ego survives in our consciousness, Fear of Death (at the moment of Death) is inevitable.

Hope u are not seriously suggesting I should start to lose my marbles just yet!!Unfortunately my experience is the mind gets younger and sharper as the body ages...

U get a bird's eye view, of a world, full of contadictions, full of all kinds of people, each with different outlooks,talents and personalities, the good, bad and the questionable. . every kind of divides, race, colour, religion, language, status... there are weddings, births and also funerals, yet despite all these divisions, everyone seems to be in such hurry,, but for what? ....the world goes on unperturbed by people or events...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 The crux I think is about the sense of fulfillment and completeness. Fulfillment of Responsibility or richness of experience or having seen the pleasures or having contributed to the family or society, each of these is an aspect. Having tread on the path to achieving a goal bigger than the body, is what brings that completeness. And lack of that completeness is what makes man crave to live longer. Here is a piece on completeness, excerpted from one of my old articles: For this we need to see what man seeks in life. He seeks happiness. Then the question is what brings happiness. It is completeness that brings happiness. There is a vast landscape of incompleteness in man. The more successful he is in fulfilling it and achieving completeness, the happier he is. There are different ways to achieve completeness. Most wise people say that having a goal and working for it throughout one’s life is the way to achieve this completeness. It is aimlessness that causes incompleteness to grow and it is goal that fills in that incompleteness. Having said this, it is really rare to find in a society someone who has such goal and spends his life for it. Most people have aims, ambitions, passions, fancies, principles, dreams, visions, but a goal of the kind that offers such a fulfillment is rare to find in men. There are many constructs man creates to offer completeness – the biggest of them is God. A definition for God/Divinity is “the belief that offers completeness to manâ€. This is not a qualitative definition for God but a teleological definition. At higher levels it is not a belief but a living presence with which he needs no other circle or society to offer him anything except his basic physical needs (sometimes not even that). The more a man gets absorbed into it, the more complete he gets and the less is the need for him to seek, create or move within circles. This way, aloofness is brought about by a kind of completeness in man. But there is dichotomy in aloofness – one who has not begun the journey for completeness and still has to feel the need for circles and create them and the one who has journeyed through it and finally grew above it by achieving completeness from within. Thus during his journey he creates and sustains many levels of collectivities – this phase is called pravritti. In pravritti marga man synthesizes and sustains the society. Then he locates the space within him where he can attain completeness – then he starts nivritti. That is, he withdraws into himself. There are many other ways man can achieve completeness – art forms, research, social activity – in short any kind of synthesis. Synthesis brings completeness. In traditional language one transcends annamaya, pranamaya and manomaya kosas with synthetic activity and lives in vijnanamaya kosa. He then moves further in, to anandamaya kosa and within that to achieve total completeness. But in this stage of transcendence he does things that do not relate to the subject of his synthetic activity. For instance, a scientist stops speaking about laws of science and starts dwelling in philosophy. An artist no more thinks of skill but only expresses his deepest experiences. A social activist no more represents his community or cause or principle but becomes instrument in the universal cause. In this stage he does continue to synthesize but it is entirely different both in content and quality from what he does earlier. This is the highest form of synthesis and offers the highest fulfillment for man’s life. The dependence a man has with collectivity begins as he steps into pravritti, grows with it, and starts coming down when he starts nivritti. As he completes nivritti he has nothing to do with any kind of collectivity – family, community, society or nation. Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Dear Manoj ji, We are ordinary people. I agree that " Yogis " come from us Ordinary folks only. But to become a Yogi one has to be very good on many scales....... A Yogi may not fear Death for he knows that that the Life on earth is just a temporary rest on a station in ones journey, but the actual Journey is Living without the Body, for millions of Years throughout eternity...... But we dont want to become a Yogi yet, unless we have imparted our duties as a good " Grihastha ashram " Holder... best wishes, Bhaskar. , Manoj Chandran <chandran_manoj wrote: > > Dear Kulbir Ji, > > I have a different take on this.

Funeral costs can range from 5,000 -10,000 Pounds in UK, depanding on location as well as type of coffins/decorations /flowers/ number of cars etc. Open air cremations are not allowed, and the care/storage of dead bodies remain with the funeral directors, who will allow access to the body whenever requested. For burials, there is added cost of purchasing the plot of land.Most westerners especially ethnic white folk end up in the pub after the funeral to drink to the deceased and bid him "bon voyage" They dont beleieve in fixed grieving periods. The kids are back at work the following day after the funeral.I think issues like "quality of life" prior death also influences his/her mental readiness..For some there is the suddenness of the event, and for others it a longer more painful journey through pain, disease and loss of dignity due to dependancy on others, for basic needs of care and sustenence.warmest regardsSheevani ancient_indian_ astrology, neelam gupta <neelamgupta07@ ...> wrote:>> Possessions, desires and duties form our bonds of attachment to the world.> Though they are important to live a meaningful life, they also create chains> and shackles when there is time to leave.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks Shankar ji for sharing your beautiful thoughts.//Most wise people say that having a goal and working for it throughout one’s life is the way to achieve this completeness.// I feel in modern society most people are working towards goals and do pursue them quite relentlessly throughout their lives, yet feel a sense of incompleteness at the end of it because the either goals were misplaced or they forgot to look at the beauty of life as they remained focussed on the destination. What is the goal of individual and collective human life that brings in completeness and how best to go for it, is perhaps the question? Regards Neelam On 8 April 2010 20:26, ShankaraBharadwaj Khandavalli <shankarabharadwaj wrote: The crux I think is about the sense of fulfillment and completeness. Fulfillment of Responsibility or richness of experience or having seen the pleasures or having contributed to the family or society, each of these is an aspect. Having tread on the path to achieving a goal bigger than the body, is what brings that completeness. And lack of that completeness is what makes man crave to live longer. Here is a piece on completeness, excerpted from one of my old articles: For this we need to see what man seeks in life. He seeks happiness. Then the question is what brings happiness. It is completeness that brings happiness. There is a vast landscape of incompleteness in man. The more successful he is in fulfilling it and achieving completeness, the happier he is. There are different ways to achieve completeness. Most wise people say that having a goal and working for it throughout one’s life is the way to achieve this completeness. It is aimlessness that causes incompleteness to grow and it is goal that fills in that incompleteness. Having said this, it is really rare to find in a society someone who has such goal and spends his life for it. Most people have aims, ambitions, passions, fancies, principles, dreams, visions, but a goal of the kind that offers such a fulfillment is rare to find in men. There are many constructs man creates to offer completeness – the biggest of them is God. A definition for God/Divinity is “the belief that offers completeness to man”. This is not a qualitative definition for God but a teleological definition. At higher levels it is not a belief but a living presence with which he needs no other circle or society to offer him anything except his basic physical needs (sometimes not even that). The more a man gets absorbed into it, the more complete he gets and the less is the need for him to seek, create or move within circles. This way, aloofness is brought about by a kind of completeness in man. But there is dichotomy in aloofness – one who has not begun the journey for completeness and still has to feel the need for circles and create them and the one who has journeyed through it and finally grew above it by achieving completeness from within. Thus during his journey he creates and sustains many levels of collectivities – this phase is called pravritti. In pravritti marga man synthesizes and sustains the society. Then he locates the space within him where he can attain completeness – then he starts nivritti. That is, he withdraws into himself. There are many other ways man can achieve completeness – art forms, research, social activity – in short any kind of synthesis. Synthesis brings completeness. In traditional language one transcends annamaya, pranamaya and manomaya kosas with synthetic activity and lives in vijnanamaya kosa. He then moves further in, to anandamaya kosa and within that to achieve total completeness. But in this stage of transcendence he does things that do not relate to the subject of his synthetic activity. For instance, a scientist stops speaking about laws of science and starts dwelling in philosophy. An artist no more thinks of skill but only expresses his deepest experiences. A social activist no more represents his community or cause or principle but becomes instrument in the universal cause. In this stage he does continue to synthesize but it is entirely different both in content and quality from what he does earlier. This is the highest form of synthesis and offers the highest fulfillment for man’s life. The dependence a man has with collectivity begins as he steps into pravritti, grows with it, and starts coming down when he starts nivritti. As he completes nivritti he has nothing to do with any kind of collectivity – family, community, society or nation. Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Bhaskar Ji,You are absolutely right. There is much duty to do towards Family.

A Yogi may not fear Death for he knows that that the Life on earth is just a temporary rest on a station in ones journey, but the actual Journey is Living without the Body, for millions of Years throughout eternity.... ..

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Manoj ji, I agree with you. Once you 'let go of the ego' you are almost in the vicinity of detachment. We need to realize that nothing is permanent. Not even happiness/sorrow. So how come life? This is the basic truth. 'Ego' is I, me, myself, mine etc. Let go of this..... I am sure the 'Fear' of death disappears. blessings, Renu , Manoj Chandran <chandran_manoj wrote: > > Dear Kulbir Ji, > > I have a different take on this.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Anita-ji, The more we do for "Satisfaction of others", the more chances of "taken for granted". And nobody will ever be satisfied. It will be better if we have some 'internal performance apprisal' ...then we will be satisfied at least. regards Chakraborty On Behalf Of Anita RFriday, April 09, 2010 9:10 AM Subject: Re: Re: spritual practise success/failure Dear Bhaskar ji,Tell me, can you tell me if there has been any one who has been able to perform his duties to the satisfaction of his family members at all?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Anita ji, I am with you on this... I actually meant that one should do his duties to the best of his potential possible otherwise he could not think of dying peacefully. One cannot make anybody happy in this world. A man cannot make even himself happy so no question of family members. The appraisal has to be self as I think Chakraborty ji mentioned. What you wrote is perfect human behaviour. The more one does, the more is expected, and the more one is criticised, and the more they will sit on your head and try to control you. But we have to draw a line who is exploiting us and who needs our services. And apart keeping aside how they behave towards us, we have to continue doing our duties to the best of our extents possible.. regards, Bhaskar. , Anita R <ash.rsh55 wrote: > > Dear Bhaskar ji, > Tell me, can you tell me if there has been any one who has been able to perform his duties to the satisfaction of his family members at all?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Neelam ji,"I feel in modern society most people are working towards goals and do pursue them quite relentlessly throughout their lives, yet feel a sense of incompleteness at the end of it because the either goals were misplaced or they forgot to look at the beauty of life as they remained focussed on the destination. What is the goal of individual and collective human life that brings in completeness and how best to go for it, is perhaps the question?"Most people as I noted, have cravings, ambitions, aspirations, passions, but not many of these can be called goals. For any pursuit to become a quest, for an ambition to become a goal, there needs to be elevation in the person as well as the level at which the pursuit happens. For instance, earning wealth cannot be a goal - while generating wealth can be a goal and even a moksha marga. The former has "sangraha buddi", while the latter has synthesis. Similarly excelling in science cannot be the goal that fulfills, but making it a fulfillment for life does. Perfecting in music cannot be such a goal, but the quest for the nature of essential ananda in nada can be such a goal. The former leads to latter in the case of great men, but we should not mistake former for the latter. Shankarneelam gupta <neelamgupta07 Sent: Fri, April 9, 2010 12:32:40 AMRe: Re: spritual practise success/failure Thanks Shankar ji for sharing your beautiful thoughts.//Most wise people say that having a goal and working for it throughout one’s life is the way to achieve this completeness. // I feel in modern society most people are working towards goals and do pursue them quite relentlessly throughout their lives, yet feel a sense of incompleteness at the end of it because the either goals were misplaced or they forgot to look at the beauty of life as they remained focussed on the destination. What is the goal of individual and collective human life that brings in completeness and how best to go for it, is perhaps the question? Regards Neelam On 8 April 2010 20:26, ShankaraBharadwaj Khandavalli <shankarabharadwaj@ > wrote: The crux I think is about the sense of fulfillment and completeness. Fulfillment of Responsibility or richness of experience or having seen the pleasures or having contributed to the family or society, each of these is an aspect. Having tread on the path to achieving a goal bigger than the body, is what brings that completeness. And lack of that completeness is what makes man crave to live longer. Here is a piece on completeness, excerpted from one of my old articles: For this we need to see what man seeks in life. He seeks happiness. Then the question is what brings happiness. It is completeness that brings happiness. There is a vast landscape of incompleteness in man. The more successful he is in fulfilling it and achieving completeness, the happier he is. There are different ways to achieve completeness. Most wise people say that having a goal and working for it throughout one’s life is the way to achieve this completeness. It is aimlessness that causes incompleteness to grow and it is goal that fills in that incompleteness. Having said this, it is really rare to find in a society someone who has such goal and spends his life for it. Most people have aims, ambitions, passions, fancies, principles, dreams, visions, but a goal of the kind that offers such a fulfillment is rare to find in men. There are many constructs man creates to offer completeness – the biggest of them is God. A definition for God/Divinity is “the belief that offers completeness to manâ€. This is not a qualitative definition for God but a teleological definition. At higher levels it is not a belief but a living presence with which he needs no other circle or society to offer him anything except his basic physical needs (sometimes not even that). The more a man gets absorbed into it, the more complete he gets and the less is the need for him to seek, create or move within circles. This way, aloofness is brought about by a kind of completeness in man. But there is dichotomy in aloofness – one who has not begun the journey for completeness and still has to feel the need for circles and create them and the one who has journeyed through it and finally grew above it by achieving completeness from within. Thus during his journey he creates and sustains many levels of collectivities – this phase is called pravritti. In pravritti marga man synthesizes and sustains the society. Then he locates the space within him where he can attain completeness – then he starts nivritti. That is, he withdraws into himself. There are many other ways man can achieve completeness – art forms, research, social activity – in short any kind of synthesis. Synthesis brings completeness. In traditional language one transcends annamaya, pranamaya and manomaya kosas with synthetic activity and lives in vijnanamaya kosa. He then moves further in, to anandamaya kosa and within that to achieve total completeness. But in this stage of transcendence he does things that do not relate to the subject of his synthetic activity. For instance, a scientist stops speaking about laws of science and starts dwelling in philosophy. An artist no more thinks of skill but only expresses his deepest experiences. A social activist no more represents his community or cause or principle but becomes instrument in the universal cause. In this stage he does continue to synthesize but it is entirely different both in content and quality from what he does earlier. This is the highest form of synthesis and offers the highest fulfillment for man’s life. The dependence a man has with collectivity begins as he steps into pravritti, grows with it, and starts coming down when he starts nivritti. As he completes nivritti he has nothing to do with any kind of collectivity – family, community, society or nation. Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Was wondering after reading all those mails about the fear, the fear of death, the fear of life, the fear of being, the fear of astrology, the fear of bearing cost of funerals, the fear of deciding the number of cars, the fear of deciding the design of coffin, the fear of selecting the kind of flowers to accompany, the fear of paying insurance premiums at time to cover this cost, the fear of what would happen to my body after me..... after me..... after me..... when i am not there then why fear..... Liberation from the 9 door cage is welcome... That reminds me of a famous song...."jayen to jayen kahan....samjhega kaun yahan, dard bhare dil ki zuban"....

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Sir, A very good mail. Thank You. regards/Bhaskar. , ShankaraBharadwaj Khandavalli <shankarabharadwaj wrote: > > The crux I think is about the sense of fulfillment and completeness. Fulfillment of Responsibility or richness of experience or having seen the pleasures or having contributed to the family or society, each of these is an aspect.

Here is a piece on completeness, excerpted from one of my old articles: > > > For this we need to see what man seeks in life. He > seeks happiness. Then the question is what brings happiness.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dear Manoj Bhai, Please do not feel that you are alone. Most of us are in the same boat giving you company. Most of us have failed miserabley. This failure can be noticed in the eyes and behaviours of the family members towards us. Somewhere we too are to blame for not having tapped our potentials to the fullest, and somewhere they too, for not remaining content and satisfied with whatever we are able to achieve and create.. best wishes and warm regards, Bhaskar.. N.B. Most of us are time wasters and not focused with no drawn out plans for the day... We spend our time thinking about so much work to complete during the day, but never begin sincerely and neither complete it after beginning and the most bad habit is Procastinations...... , Manoj Chandran <chandran_manoj wrote:>> Dear Bhaskar Ji,> > You are absolutely right.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवला,'किस पथ से जाऊà¤?' असमंजस में है वह à¤à¥‹à¤²à¤¾à¤à¤¾à¤²à¤¾,अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूठ-'राह पकड़ तू à¤à¤• चला चल, पा जाà¤à¤—ा मधà¥à¤¶à¤¾à¤²à¤¾à¥¤'। ६। Spirituality. Which path to adopt and which to leave. Which Guru to adopt and whom to reject as a guru. Harivansh Rai Bachhan gave the solution "raah pakar too ek chala chal, pa jayega madhushala" (select one path and then keep tredging it with patience and finally you reach your end, your goal (if that is the goal)... धरà¥à¤®à¤—à¥à¤°à¤¨à¥à¤¥ सब जला चà¥à¤•à¥€ है, जिसके अंतर की जà¥à¤µà¤¾à¤²à¤¾,मंदिर, मसजिद, गिरिजे, सब को तोड़ चà¥à¤•à¤¾ जो मतवाला,पंडित, मोमिन, पादिरयों के फंदों को जो काट चà¥à¤•à¤¾,कर सकती है आज उसी का सà¥à¤µà¤¾à¤—त मेरी मधà¥à¤¶à¤¾à¤²à¤¾à¥¤à¥¤à¥§à¥à¥¤ One who has read all the scriptures and have understood the essence of that and one who has risen above all the doctrines of life scripted by various faiths and religions, one who has escaped from the clutches of rituals prescribed by all practitioners of faith only can reach that "madhu (honey) shala (land)" It all depends on how one perceives the things. One can perceive this madhushala of Bachhan as a modern day "BAR" or one can also perceive this Madhushala as a place where one is bereft of all worries of life and reaches the end becoming a "mouji". Mouj lo..... best wishes Manoj Manoj Kumar <mouji99 Sent: Fri, April 9, 2010 11:23:06 AMRe: Re: spritual practise success/failure Was wondering after reading all those mails about the fear, the fear of death, the fear of life, the fear of being, the fear of astrology, the fear of bearing cost of funerals, the fear of deciding the number of cars, the fear of deciding the design of coffin, the fear of selecting the kind of flowers to accompany, the fear of paying insurance premiums at time to cover this cost, the fear of what would happen to my body after me..... after me..... after me..... when i am not there then why fear..... Liberation from the 9 door cage is welcome... That reminds me of a famous song...."jayen to jayen kahan....samjhega kaun yahan, dard bhare dil ki zuban"....
