Integrating Ancient Wisdom in Modern Life: Greatest Mystery
- Basic difference between family impression and our blueprint of this birth. Family impressions hold us for living for physical mutation and blueprint of birth is for spiritual mutation. In any circumstances if you can choose to react or respond. React means physical mutation and response means from your discriminate mind one can realise to move towards spiritual mutation. Response means in your self-realisation, physical mutation is included. But in physical mutation spiritual mutation is not included.
- The symptoms of death are given in all Indian scriptures. Before one year till one day before the death one can get the hints for death. One gets these hints to wind up this life and its experiments by completion with surroundings, others and with limited-identity. One who starts focusing on completion of this life experiment will be totally relaxed and will welcome death for new experiments.
- One who has welcomed death knows well that the greatest mystery in life is not life itself, but death. Death is the culmination of life, the ultimate blossoming of life. In death the whole life is summed up, in death you arrive. Life is a pilgrimage towards death.
- In Steve Jobs’ words: For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. He further says, ‘Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.’
- Learn to live life totally as if this moment is the last moment. One who has realised will die each moment and each moment he is resurrected. His cross and his resurrection are continuously happening as a process. He dies to the past each moment and he is born again and again into the future. Means he is not even waiting for any hint but ready for a new experiment every moment. Focusing on the death one will be so alert that life is an expression of compassion towards surrounding, others and self.
- One who has tasted life will welcome and celebrate death. Death is the finest teacher to live life. Everything returns to its original source, has to return to its original source. If you understand life then you understand death also. Life is a forgetfulness of the original source, and death is again a remembrance. How you have lived life and died can be an inspiration for others.
