LIFE AND DEATH

LIFE AND DEATH

 

Death is only a process by which life is continued. Death is not

annihilation of the self. Hence do not be afraid of death. Death is

for the better; it is a blessing. Therefore grieve not. Life is

impossible without death. Death is just another aspect of life. Until

the proper time comes, one's death does not take place, however

serious the disease or accident may seem. When the right time comes,

then one can die by the edge of a straw!

 

Life is a lightning flash of breath. Time is but a thunder clap of

death. The doctrine of reincarnation is indeed a great solace to

humanity in so far as it shows a way out from eternal damnation in

hell.

 

When the lust for life ceases, no further rebirth will take place.

One power works through all hands, sees through all eyes and hears

through all ears. All humanity is one in substance. The same flesh

and the same blood form the body of an American, an Englishman, an

African and an Indian. The instincts and longings are common to all

creatures. This indicates the oneness of all forms of life.

 

Experiments have revealed life in stone, in wood and in minerals.

They have established the unity of consciousness or the unity of all

life. Prana (energy) is the driving power of the world. Force is

energy. Spiritual force is the saving power. It is the greatest of

all forces. It can control all physical and mental forces.

 

Physical science is objective and hence cannot lead to absolute

truth. There is a soul behind mind and nature and will. Soul is the

divine essence. The conception of the unity of God is the pivot

around which all other doctrines revolve. No religion, no nation, no

scheme or reform, nor plan for the future of the world, will endure

if it is not based on genuine faith in God. We all belong to one and

the same family, to one and the same house, that of the Supreme Lord

the creator, the nourisher and the sustainer.

 

When you look at a tree or a shrub, a Sikh or a Muslim, endeavour

to behold, behind the veil of form, the real hidden consciousness. If

you do this for some time, you will feel inexpressible joy. All

hatred will cease. You will develop cosmic love, or unity of

consciousness. This will be a magnanimous experience.
