Akashic Readings on Death
Part One
Date: 27 September 2012
Death is liberation and celebration. It is a natural conscious digestion process; gift given to every individual soul tormented by the ignorance that they are separated from the whole constantly reminding them anything which separates them including the concepts is impermanent, anything which see, which makes them feel as departed part of the whole is impermanent. To make every individual soul understand that the concept of your individuality is imagination and impermanent, death is given as a natural boon to the whole universe.
Here Mahadeva(...)
Here Mahadeva reads out the science of death for the seekers and for the people who want to cross the death. Death is of 7 types experienced by human beings. First - the man who feels he is nothing more than a body. He experiences oblivion as death. He feels end of his identity is death, end of his individual existence is death, which is obviously false, illusion, delusion, which brings tremendous suffering, and the suffering constantly tortures him and does not let him live even while he is having the body.
Next - the person who is completely centered on desires, he has a greed and cannot understand the possibility for a breakthrough so he continuously extends his greed even after he leaves the body. All the concepts exists in all half-baked philosophies and religious concepts, the concepts of heaven and extended life where the desires are fulfilled, where the continuum of the desires exist, is extended delusion of desire-based individual identity setup.
This is neither completely false nor permanent existence. Based on the ability to project their desires into the existential space they create their own heaven. As long as they are disillusioned they continue to project their heaven and live. When they are disillusioned by their own projection then they get back to their original source and decide the next course of their action based on the imaginations and delusions they retained after the disillusionment. Every disillusionment boils down the extended imaginations to the root delusion. If the root delusions themselves are boiled, burnt away, the imagination completely goes away, you are liberated from the imagination.
If the root delusions are not burnt or boiled you project your root delusions into a different levels of imagination. Usually the desire imagination expansion, when it is disillusioned boils down to the root imagination. It projects again itself in the next root of guilt. The expansion, the imaginary projection of the guilt, is only considered as the lower levels of hell. Again neither the hell is completely truth nor the heaven is a completely truth. And same way neither of them is complete false nor of them is complete reality.
Please understand this great truth Mahadeva repeats for every one of you to grasp inside. The reality you are facing now, what you call as bhooloka; the very less intense projection of your delusion is bhooloka and little higher projection of your extended greed is swarg swarga loka the heaven and guilt is little higher projection of your deluded disturbed mental setup, patterns of root greed in different direction. The guilt is lower level hells where you repent, repent, repent for your sins.
Sin is nothing but retaining the root patterns of desire even after you are disillusioned by the projections of those same roots. When the fruits and the crops disillusion you, still you hang on expecting the different root or crops to come out of the same seed, is guilt. Guilt projects into the next level of hell which is again neither truth nor false. It is again your ability and the intensity to project decides the quality and quantity of the time you need to spend in the hell. Once you are disillusioned even your sufferings are not real. You enter into the root pattern which goes to the deeper root than the ordinary experience of hell. The deeper root is pain; the ultimate hells you experience. In this space again your death decides the quality and the quantity of the sufferings you are continuously going to experience. Understand every levels of death teaches you the great lessons if you are ready to hear. Every life every year practically every day, every one of you go through all the 7 deaths.
The fourth death - death from the pain. Even the pain is also a projected delusion from the root pattern. It does not exist and it cannot co-exist with the existence of the cosmic soul. As the cosmic souls presence is felt every day by your individual soul in the deep sleep and the restful awareness, the pain pattern also faces the death. When the pain patterns faces the death, the experience the individual soul goes through is depression. Depression is not even the existence of pain. When you don’t even project your pain, when you are not even capable of projecting your pain on the reality, the comparative reality, the constant torture you do to yourself with the seed is depression. Seed which cannot grow but continues to exist as a living seed is depression.
The death from the depression is the 6th death called dark night of the soul. Every soul goes through this dark night during the sleep in the form of a unrememberable nightmare every day. Morning when you come out of the nightmare and can’t remember the scenes but only can experience the feeling of the nightmare, it is dark night of the soul. Dark night of the soul is the near-death experience for so many individuals. All the individuals who record the near-death experience as being pulled into the cave and pushed out with a tremendous pain is near-death experience which is nothing but the dark night of the soul in the long term. When the dark night of the soul happens every night it is called nightmare, when the nightmare happens once in a life it is called near-death experience.
Understand the great truths of the death. Even by listening to these great truths again and again and again you are liberated from these great truths. These great truths should be heard by the children before they are spoiled and wronged by the human society with the immatured ideas. These words should be repeated as mantras. So whenever you repeat a word again and again and again, not only the linguistic understanding happens, this forms the phonetic basis of your very thinking. When the great truths forms the phonetic basis for your thinking it is called Living Enlightenment.
So the 7th death, the 7th form of the death which is beyond the Dark night of the soul happens as Nibbana, Nirvana - extinction of the individual deluded identity. The extinction of the individual deluded identity is the ultimate death which is liberation and celebration. What you feel as your identity is your identity centered on the body, then oblivion is the obvious truth about your death. If your individual identity is centered on desire guilt pain, resurrection is the obvious truth about your death. If your individual identity is capable of going through the depression and dark night of the soul, reincarnation is the truth about your death. If your individual identity is prepared while in the body itself to go through even the depression and the dark night of the soul and able to exist without the help of the body and mind, enlightenment liberation and celebration is the truth of your death.
So the death has a four different meanings to the four different levels of people. If you remember yourself constantly as the body, oblivion is the reality for you. If you remember yourself as the extended desire inexhaustible guilt unbearable pain, resurrection will be your expected truth about death. If you are able to enter into the depression and the dark night of the soul, reincarnation is the possibility of your soul about death. If you can stand all these experiences while you are carrying the physical body and able to stand the ability to be without the physical body and mind through the unclutching, enlightenment is the equal word for your death.
Enlightenment, when it enters into your system in the form of death, it is liberation and celebration. So death does not happen to all individuals equally. It is based on the standard of the individual, death happens. Whether oblivion is your truth, resurrection is your truth or reincarnation is your truth or enlightenment is your truth, is your decision. It is the individual capability and individual’s responsibility. When the quality of life increases day by day the quality of death also increases.
A man who feels connected to the truth of oblivion, naturally obviously centered just on body, will not have completion, the complete feeling of life. The people who are in the middle level feel connected to the resurrection truth, the resurrection concept. That is why the mass feels very comfortable with the concept of resurrection. Very evolved individual, very few individuals feel the truth of reality of reincarnation. It is only very few enter into the experience of enlightenment.
There are 27 more files on death to be revealed and read out by Kalabhairava. So for next 27 days Kalabhairava will read out the sacred secrets of Death and informations world need to know about death and Kalabhairava will now answer and respond to every question related to sacred secrets of life.
So be very clear the words of Mahadeva which is coming out now, not only has linguistic value philosophical value conceptual value, truths based on which your cognizance should be functioned, it has phonetic value also; should be repeated like a vedic mantras chanted repeatedly so that constantly your cognizance is centered on these great words truths and constantly your mind is based on these great words. Next.
Questions and Answers
The first question is from Jayalakshmi Verma from Washington DC: ‘Nithyanandam! Another birth question for Akashic reading. Its seems like with the sammyamas, we are here to transcend the body - don’t eat or drink, don’t sleep, don’t think about sex, don’t be bothered about heat, cold, pleasant or unpleasant, etc. Why take a body if we are here to transcend it? Thank you.’
Transcending is step for liberation. You took the body out of ignorance and delusion. Now the sammyama is the step to get out of, to go beyond the depression and delusion. So understand samyama is like medication. It is the solution for the problem which you created by feeling that you have the body. You are asking wrong question - ‘why to have disease at all when we can take medicine and get out of the disease’. There is no answer if you ask why to have disease first, then have medicine and get out of the disease. Because you already fell into the disease, medication is given to you; because you already fell into the delusion of having a body the sammyama is given to you as medication.
The next question is from Deanna Bello from Las Vegas, USA: ‘Nithyanandam Swamiji, I have seen 1000s of babies come into the world, as it was my job in the labor and delivery room. Each baby comes into the world in a different way; some so sweet and peaceful and some so unpeaceful and stressful. I often wondered how their entrance into the world affects the rest of their lives, what they become in life and how they react in life. Birth is the most beautiful miracle of life. Is the birth process going to change in the future more peaceful? Are the attitudes of doctors going to change towards more peaceful birth? Deepest gratitude.’
Time, place, way, mood, awareness of your birth directly affects the way you are going to live. So the future humanity should become conscious for the truth birth is the greatest miracle, and possibly the conscious birth centers, the welcoming-mood-filled welcome centers for the human beings should be established. It is unfortunate human beings never understood the importance of the first moment of a being landing on the planet earth. Let conscious beings receive the beings consciously into the planet earth. This is the command of Mahadeva. Mahadeva blesses all the people who are having nayana deeksha now to be healed from all the wounds and sufferings you carry from the moment of the birth. All the wounds and the sufferings, deep patterns you are carrying due to the wrong birthing style, time, place, persons, way, let all that be completely healed in all of you. Lokah samastha sukhino bhavanthu. Let your manipurakas be healed completely. Let the healed manipuraka be filled with a pure kundalini energy.
The next question is from Nitin Geetam: ‘Hari Om Swamiji! How to live a deathless life in this birth? Is it possible? Where is the soul residing in our body? What will be our next birth?
Soul does not reside in your body. It only reflects on your body. The place you choose for your soul to reflect decides the level of awareness in which you are going to be living.
If you choose mooladhara as the place for your soul to reflect, you will be centered only on body and the lust and reproduction. You will not find anything else as bigger experience. Human beings choose usually mooladhara and swadishtana as regular place of reflection. Very few peace lovers make manipuraka as the reflection spot. When you choose anahata as the reflection spot you become a devotee. When you feel and decide vishuddhi as a reflection spot of the cosmic soul into your individual body you become shaakta - an high achiever with a shakti. When you choose your ajna as a reflective place, the place of reflection for your soul, you live with extraordinary powers, as a siddha purusha, the embodiment of Shiva. When you reflect your cosmic soul into your individual body on Sahasrara you live as incarnation, embodiment of the cosmic soul, Mahadeva Himself.
Mahadeva resides and expresses unique pure spiritual dimension in your body. So the body is not possessing the soul. Soul only reflects on the body. When it decides not to reflect anymore, the body is considered as dead. When sahasrara becomes the place of reflection suddenly a new center develops in your system which is responsible for the sahasrara to relate cooperate coordinate with the lower level of existence also. That new center is ananda gandha. So when you experience the reflection on ananda gandha you directly receive the incarnation’s energy radiate the incarnation’s energy. You become part of the incarnation.
As you asked in the question ‘is the life without death is possible, is the deathless life is possible’, Mahadeva very clearly tells you all it is possible. He gives you the science which is most sacred secret - seven instructions. Do not eat anything other than this 3 items - goat milk, groundnut, haritaki - and continuously be doing ajapa japa. Let your breathing be completely guided by the ajapa japa. You can choose any mantra initiated by your enlightened guru. Ajapa japa, this three food and constantly unclutching; every night getting into the death meditation - death process; visualize, face all the death. Do not allow any samskara uncompleted. Death process is nothing but completion of all the samskaras. When you do death process every night, completion of all the samskaras happen. Understand, every instruction, when they are imbibed and practiced, deathless life is possible.
The first instruction - do not eat anything else other than this three - goat milk, groundnut, haritaki. Second- do ajapa japa, let your breathing be guided continuously by ajapa japa. Third - every night complete all the samskaras and patterns you built by entering into the death process. 4th - continuously whenever you remember unclutch unclutch unclutch; reduce the time of unawareness and restlessness. Practice the presence of restful awareness. Next, remember these great truths about life and let all the cognizance about life be taken based on this one understanding about life and death. Life and death are not two different things. It is just continuous process happening in you as a natural force. Ultimately and finally remember the realization this body is not away, apart from your cosmic soul. It is also an inclusive part of your eternally existing cosmic soul. These 7 truths can directly make you live deathless life. Deathless life is possible.
The next question is from Thyagarajan: ‘Nithyanandam! What should one do to be born in a spiritually conducive atmosphere?’
It is in your hands. This moment you can make your life in such a way, rearrange and reorganize, your life can be in a place which is spiritually conducive. When you can do, why are you expecting some remote roundabout methods to do it after some time? The question you are asking is nothing but the outcome of postponing - lazy mentality.
The next question is from Joyce: ‘How many lives on an average the humans need to experience before they are completely liberated from all physical suffering?’
There is no number. It depends on the intensity of the individual.
The next question is from Ma Manorama from Vancouver: ‘Nithyanandam Swamiji! Beloved Master, how does the invitro fertilization affect the resulting being after birth? Since the conception will happen in a petri-dish, will this affect the future person’s connection to the infinite or the cosmos? Thank you.’
No. This does not affect any way the possibility of the individual’s infinite connection. This process was being followed for ages in the Vedic civilization. The Kauravas have been given birth only through this process. So this process no way affects the individual’s possibility to achieve enlightenment.
The next question is from Ma Aruna: ‘Nithyanandam! Dear Swamiji, kindly throw light on the concept of birth, death and rebirth of souls till they attain liberation. I am thoroughly confused about this imperceivable game of the Lord - his patience, his monitoring system of each soul’s progress till the attainment of the highest in as many janmas it takes. And is the number of janmas one soul takes predetermined?
There is no individual Lord monitoring. Each independent intelligence has innate tendency and the inspiration to grow from life to death, death to life, life to death, death to life till it is completely disillusioned with the original delusion it is separate from the Whole. When the disillusionment it is separate from the Whole itself has disappeared, when the individual soul is disillusioned from this very word it gets back to its restful awareness.
It is not the game played by somebody else and you are pushed into it to play. It is you are playing with yourself by yourself by your individual will. Any moment you can just realize you are the center person of this game, you are the judge of this game, you are the umpire of this game and get out of the game. Nobody is playing it. You are the umpire you are the player you are the audience you are everything. Wake up to this reality and get out of this game. If you want, continue to play this game if you want in the form of incarnation. The person who got out is videhamukta, person who is continuing to play with the clear intelligence he himself is enjoying himself, is living enlightened. Person who enters into others’ game also and makes others realize they are playing the game and they are the embodiment of everything, they are the audience umpire player and everything, is incarnation.
The next question is from Rukmini from Chennai: ‘Nithyanandam! Namaskarams to Swamiji! How does the birth from space to power on women, for instance the birth of Karna, happen? What is the energy source of power that makes it happen?
Space is not empty as you think. The space is more strong thicker existence than your body. Water is thicker existence than the earth, fire is thicker existence than water, air is thicker existence than fire, space is thickest existence than water fire earth and air. Thought is more thicker existence than the space itself. Because they are thicker than the other they are able to consume one other. Because fire is thicker than the water and earth, it can consume both. Because air is thicker than the fire it can consume that, because space is thicker than all other four it can consume other all the four. Thought is more subtle and thicker powerful than all the five. So thought can consume everything. If you can sit and center your thought and concentrate, you will see directly all the five elements can melt and play as you want. So space is not emptiness as you visualize through your bare naked eyes. It can be a channel. That is why the beings like Karna assumed the body using that channel.
The next question is from Jyothi: ‘Dear Swamiji, it is said that people at one time were not born like how they now do, through human parents. Could you please speak on this and whether it can happen again? Thank you.’
Taking birth for human parents is only one form of birth. The possibility exists in multiple level. You can take birth on a stone. The baby can be processed in a animal womb, in the tree, in the stone, on anything. As on now, human beings widely use only few methods, taking birth out of human womb and some other modern methods. But millions of methods existed to take birth.
The next question is from Roshan from San Jose: ‘Dear Kalabhairava, at the time before the part begins to think it is separate from Source, it is same as the Source. Then isn’t it basically the Source separating itself from itself, since the part only comes into existence after separation?’
The moment the thought raises, part is a part. As a truth it never separates and in the normal comparative existence the part appears first, as part only decides to have the thought of separation - Whole does not decide. What decides becomes part. That is why the word ‘part decides to feel as part’ is the right expression in the language in which you understand.
When Kalabhairava Mahadeva reads out the truths he reads out in the language you understand. There are many existential reality based truths can never be read out in the language you understand. So when it, he reads out in the language you understand that is the best form of expressing possible.
The next question is from Sri Nithya Atma Maneeshananda: ‘Dear Kalabhairava, only Source exists. There is nothing other than Source exists. Then what makes the Source to become individual consciousness and why? That is what is the birth. I only existed after that event, prior to this I was not there. I know it is impossible for anything else including I to be other than the Source. Then why I the individual consciousness is persisting? One Source has become individual consciousness. What makes greed, fear, lust, desires to pop up in the individual consciousness? O beloved Mahadeva, please clear these doubts.’
Atma Maneesha already your doubts are cleared. All the answers I gave has clarified your doubt. Mahadeva has already read out the sacred secrets about this question and doubt. Whatever Mahadeva read out, listen to that intensely, this doubts and questions will disappear. Mahadeva has answered this question.
The next question is from Dr. Shanti from Bangalore: ‘Nithyanandam! Beloved Swamiji, saashtanga namaskars at your divine lotus feet. Can you please let us all know why majority women go through so much pain, anxiety and stress during birthing process, though these are most beautiful, cherishing and fulfilling moments in their life. In few fortunate women who practiced meditation, yoga, power of visualization, listening to music and divine chanting, birthing has been a great joyful experience with minimal pain and stress. Can you please clarify?
Human beings have the tendency to go through the pain and suffering even during the expansion. That is why even when the wealth comes to human beings which they were seeking with their whole life, the responsibility brings suffering and pain to them to maintain the wealth. Same way when expansion of life happens in the form of birthing, giving birth to a child, the responsibility body is not able to take, that is why it goes through pain suffering and torture. Otherwise the birthing experience is a spiritual experience. The great possibility of expansion happens to a individual when it expands into another one life.
The moment of birthing can be used for the enlightenment of both individuals, who is giving birth and who is getting birth. So every moment the child takes birth, the child has a possibility for enlightenment, mother has a possibility for enlightenment. If both of them take the responsibility both can get enlightened. Even if the child is not capable of taking the responsibility, mother can take the responsibility and she can get enlightened. Birthing is great possibility of enlightenment as it is extension, an expansion process of individual body and consciousness.
When the birthing happens if the child is kept without the umbilical cord being cut for at least few minutes then the mother can experience two souls. The moment child comes out, the individual soul enters. The mother has one individual soul, the child has another one individual soul. The umbilical cord connection exists between two soul. Mother taking up the responsibility of birthing and preparing her consciousness for 9 month and while giving the en birth she can achieve enlightenment, and after the birthing happens without cutting the umbilical cord if you remain, keep the child as it is, the individual soul which enters the child’s body will have the initiation from the enlightened mother through the umbilical cord which is the most powerful connection. The umbilical cord initiation directly makes the child experience enlightenment and enlightened bio-memory basis forms the basic experience of the child. When the enlightened bio-memory forms the basis of a child naturally child will grow as jeevanmukta, living enlightened.
The next question is from Induja and Sinduja from Chennai: ‘Nithyanandam Swamiji! Can you please tell us about twins’ birth? Why two souls are born together? Is there any specific reason for it? And do the souls have the same purpose in life?
There is no such thing as two souls born together. Only two bodies are created together and the possibility for the two souls enter is created. Otherwise the twins, even if they are born physically connected, has no spiritual connection. Even if the connection felt by few twins, is psychological.
The next question is from Bodhana: ‘Nithyanandam dear Kalabhairava, does the body need to be left undisturbed for a period of time after death? If so, how long? In the Tibetan Book of Dead it sounds as if some souls take a while to move on. If we wish the highest possible evolution for the soul, can body organs and the body be given over immediately to science upon the verdict of brain-dead, or should the body be left undisturbed for a period of time?’
If the body is left undisturbed the remaining karmas will be transferred to the new body in next 13 days. But if you give the organs part of the body to any research or science for any purpose, that does not interfere the karma shifting process. Even if those organs are living in other body or being separated from your body and used for some other purpose, the karma baggage shifting process does not get disturbed. So the organ donation do not interfere any way your death process. The moment brain death is declared the parts of the body can be donated. It does not interfere in the karma baggage transferring process.
When a death happens the individual reflection takes the next body within three kshana. The karma baggage gets transferred in 13 days.
She is also asking, ‘If we have taken NSP, do the practices from the Tibetan Book of Dead need to be invoked? How do we know if someone is enlightened upon death and therefore should be buried and not cremated as – ’
Stop. The conscious experience which you receive from the program NSP by Nithyananda gives you a complete possibility of innate intelligence which awakens by itself through the experience of death. So what you understand by the Tibetan book of Dead need not be invoked, as this process in a complete comprehensive conscious way is already inserted, programmed in your system, by the conscious experience in the NSP. Next question.
‘How do we know if someone is enlightened upon death and therefore should be buried and not cremated as Kalabhairava stated on Akashic Readings?’
Both eyeballs will naturally move towards the third eye. If the both eyeballs have moved towards the third eye and they are centered towards the third eye he is enlightened being. And face does not carry any visible stress, again he is an enlightened being and the throat will not become stiff. If you put your finger on the throat you can feel still it is alive, he is living. An enlightened being’s throat does not become stiff frozen cold or like wood even after he leaves the body. So these few symptoms will make you understand this person whether he became enlightened before leaving the body. This can be used as a scale to decide whether the body should be buried or cremated.
The next question is from Srikant Gopi: ‘Dear Kalabhairava, how can we grow younger each year? How can we achieve eternity physically and merge with light while in physical body?’
I will give you the science used by Thirugnanasambandhar and the great saint like Vallalar and Sant Gnaneshwar. Every night complete all the engrams you built. All the samskaras you built should be completed by going through the death process every night before falling asleep. Every night if you go through the death process and complete and fall asleep there will not be any remaining engrams samskaras which is responsible for getting old. The time will not act on you. The bridge through which time acts on you, time enters into your consciousness is samskaras. Engrams is the bridge through which time enters you. If you break the bridge time will not be able to enter in your inner space. You will be free from time. The person who is free from time grows younger, younger, younger, due to his experience to live untouched by time and samskaras. This is the only and best way to grow younger and disappear into the pure light consciousness, the cosmic soul, without leaving the remains of the physical body.
He is also asking, ‘Is it possible to achieve this siddhi through the 2012 transition? I would like to transcend death and live for another 200 years. Please advise.’
It is possible. Through this technique you don’t even need to worry about this 2012. Do it and have it.
The next question is from Anne-Marie Casou: ‘Swamiji said at satsang that after 65, body and mind were useless. Then what is the use of living longer? Why doesn’t life end there?’
The bodies and minds unused, unprepared, will not be useful after 65. If you prepare it from the young age, use properly, it will continue to be useful. You never reach the state of 65.
She is also saying, ‘I am over 65 and I feel quite alive and enthusiastic. It is very hard for me to accept as my greatest fear is being unwanted. Is seva useless after 65, no matter how many hours and how much pleasure and enthusiasm is fed into it? Is our life purpose over whether accomplished or not?
This is individual question, bring it in evening Kalabhairava darshan.
The next question is from Vidya Ramasamy from Singapore: ‘Nithyanandam dear Swamiji, what is the role of doctors in disease and death?’
Doctors are also groping in unconsciousness. So when the unconsciousness is playing with unconsciousness nobody has a clear role in disease or death.
‘In the process of making a decision on withdrawal of medical care for a child, is it right to say that the child makes conscious decision to get liberated and merge with the cosmic consciousness and therefore attracts that kind of supportive energy from parents and doctors?’
No. Never the possible supports available should be withdrawn from any soul. Mahadeva does not approve the compassion killing, mercy killing or any form of withdrawal of the support. Every individual body should be given all possible support till the end, even though you may perceive this as a suffering, pain or torture. No mercy killing is accepted in cosmic law. All the people who are involved in mercy killing will be treated as murderers by the cosmic law and the individual soul which was killed by the mercy killing will be treated as a suicide or murder. If the individual gives the consent he will be treated as a suicide, if he does not give the consent it will be treated as murder in the cosmic law.
Part Two
Date: 28 September 2012
Death is not end or extinction, extinction of existence. It is just climate change on your body and mind. Whenever many deaths of mind happens in same body, it is spiritual evolution. If many bodies die in the same mind, it is unconsciousness, spiritual endarkenment. If more minds die in same body you are spiritually growing, evolving. If more bodies die in same mind you are spiritually going down, destroying yourself. Again and again and again bodies die, minds die. Blessed are those in whom many minds die in one body. Continuously allow minds to be dying. Let your mind, even if you think in a best space, allow it to die, allow it for transformation. Allowing the mind to die every time in the same body leads you to the highest liberation and celebration.
The concept of money, possession, ownership, is the side effect of inability to accept the death of the body. The feeling of ‘your son is your extension’ is also the inability to accept the extinction of body. When you are ready to accept the extinction of the body, the part of you which does not die goes through a powerful transformation, and liberates itself from the dying component of you, which is the body. Through this way it achieves a space where there is no extinction where there is no death.
Death is the most powerful mechanism, either to get enlightened or to get yourself drowned in deeper and deeper unconsciousness. Every day when you fall asleep it is equivalent to death, when you wake up it is equivalent to birth. From the deep sleep if you come to the dreaming state it is unconscious birth. From the deep sleep if you come directly to the waking state it is conscious birth. Every day you go through birth and death. How you behave with this birth and death which is happening everyday is going to decide how you are going to behave with the birth and death which is going to happen with your body, because everyday birth and death is nothing but the direct glimpse of the long big birth and big death, which is only has a difference in time, but not in space or the place. Your everyday birth and death and every-life birth and death happens in same space and place. Only time difference between one birth and the other birth, the time difference between birth-death of one and the birth-death of the other is different.
There are some files which is not able to completely be revealed just by verbalization. Even after reading, verbalization, still those files remain having some material without being completely revealed. Those stuff, those material, can be transmitted only by initiation. Because those akashic records cannot get into the realm of verbalization, they are not able to be translated into words. They just continue to remain as vibrations.
When your mind dies in the same body and becomes a new mind, cosmos enters into you. When your body dies in the same mind, takes a new body, you enter into the cosmos. When cosmos enters you it is liberation, when you enter into the cosmos it is death. The part feels as part, the moment it wants to be part; part only should be blamed not the Whole, because part only continues to hold on to the thought to be part. Whole is not holding on to the thought. Even though the thought might have happened on the Whole also, only when you hold on to the thought you remain as part. So the feeling of separation, who created, why created, is not the really focus of your vengeance or action. Your focus should be on who is holding on to that feeling of separation, not who created, why it got created. Who holds on to it, gives life to it. The feeling of separation, because the part only is holding on to it, it is giving life to it. So your action and intensity to act upon should be directed to the center who is holding on to that feeling that you are separate from the Whole, you are part not the Whole.
Questions and Answers
The first question is from Janani. She is asking, ‘Dear Swamiji, if one has taken an unconscious birth, how can he take a conscious death?’
That is what is life. Life gives you the possibility to move from Unconsciousness to Consciousness and Consciousness to Superconsciousness. If you take unconscious birth you can move to conscious death. If you have taken conscious birth you can move towards superconscious death which is enlightenment itself, and even if you take unconscious birth you can directly jump into superconscious death also, and same way even if you have taken conscious birth you can get back to Unconscious death if you decide strongly.
Usually the conscious birth being does not want to get in, will not get in to the Unconscious; but life gives you the possibility of everything. All possibilities are given to you, are provided to you. So understand the possibility exists in life, that is why it is called life. Every time when you are living, the possibility for all the dimensions are open to you, available to you and waiting for you.
The next question is from Mary Bernard: ‘Nithyanandam Swamiji! You have already spoken on the destructiveness of suicide. Some states and countries allow patients who are suffering with terminal illness to practice assisted death. It is strictly regulated. Usually the family gathers around the patient and some kind of painless lethal injection is given as per the patient’s wishes and instruction. Could you comment on this?’
Cosmos does not agree this mercy killing. As Mahadeva already read out, it will be considered either suicide or murder. If the patient agrees it will be considered as suicide, the patient does not agree it will be considered as murder. But all the people who help and make this happen will be treated for murder in the cosmic law.
The next question is from Sudarshini Madan: ‘Dear Swamiji, why there is so much of fear of death? How did the relationships emerge to be an important thing in our life?’
Anything you don’t understand, don’t want to understand, does not have the brain capacity to understand, fear surrounds it. Unknown is always fear for any living being. Now understand, Mahadeva himself the source of the creation, the source of the existence, source of the eternity is revealing these great truths. Again and again and again listen to these great truths, chant these great truths. This will liberate you from the fear. When your cognizance is based on these great truths, cosmic secrets, you will be free from the fear.
The fear is nothing but the projection of negativity on the future possibility. It is not necessary you need to continuously project negativity or positivity on the future possibility. Simply seeing the future possibility without projecting negativity or positivity on to it, is living prarabdha. So the fear comes into your system only when you project your fear, your negativity, on the future possibilities. Negativities, the negative ideas, does not need to be projected on the future possibility.
Relationships gives you the feeling it is very important in the life, because through every relationship you try to have extended life. While you are living, whatever your body and mind cannot do for your interest and pleasure, you try to fulfill through the body and minds of your relationships, and same way, whatever they cannot fulfill through their body and mind, they are trying to fulfill through your body and mind. So mutually each other helping to fulfill the other’s interest through body and mind of each other’s is relationships. If both of you understand the interests of each other and ready to support each other’s fulfillment, it is called successful relationship. There comes love compassion sacrifice and spiritual growth. But if both of them are not understanding the real agendas of others, interests of others, continue the relationship maybe because one person is has hidden interest, hidden agendas which he does not want to reveal it to the other or which he himself is not aware, when this kind of situations arise relationship breaks or relationships continue to exist with being exploited, with exploitation.
These kind of relationships lead to the worst grave sin of keeping the other person as slave. Whenever the slavery happens cosmos strongly condemns it. So no slavery is allowed in the cosmos. Cosmos is strictly against slavery because In slavery even if the other person has their body and mind, it is equivalent to they are killed, they are murdered, because that body and mind is not useful to that person anymore. So relationship with a open mutual interest should be encouraged, and it supports both the beings to evolve towards the fulfillment, and finally the understanding - how many bodies and minds you may use to fulfill your interest, that your interests are not going to lead you to your restful awareness. So that understanding may help you to renounce all the interests and even your own body and mind and settle down in restful awareness. So this understanding will naturally be leading you towards enlightenment.
Going smoothly towards that understanding will be happening through the right understanding relationships. The relationships with the mood of exploiting other person, with the hidden agenda without you revealing it to the other person about your interest or you yourself may not knowing it by yourself, will lead to more and more destruction depression. If the relationships continues it will be the sin of slavery, if it breaks it will be giving you great devoid depression feeling of emptiness. So the science of relationship is trying to have more body and minds to fulfill your interests and trying to give the other person also your body and mind to fulfill his interest. As long as it is mutual it is with a deep understanding it should be encouraged supported and blessed.
Relationships with deep understanding with each other is equivalent to the conscious birth. Relationships without mutual understanding but still not broken is equivalent to unconscious life. Relationships without mutual understanding broken is equivalent to death. All unconscious life will be afraid of death and end in death. Same way all relationships which doesnot have mutual understanding will constantly have fear of being broken. Finally it will break and bring tremendous suffering to both the persons who are involved in it.
The next question is from Mary Bernard: ‘Swamiji has said that departed souls take rebirth very shortly after death. Many mediums can see or talk to the deceased many years following a person’s death. The departed person can give information to the living that the living would have no way of knowing, or ghosts are seen generations after the death of that person. Does the soul somehow split, part of it moving on and part of it remaining as a part of the personality of the departed?’
Only souls which are murdered or committed suicide remains without taking another body till their natural time of their death. For example if somebody has to live for 60 years, he commits suicide or get killed gets killed at the age of 20, the remaining number of years he remains with taking the other body. Other than that nobody, no soul, remains without taking another one body. Sometime because of your deep imagination, you yourself project their souls out of your imagination and talk to them. Your unconsciousness supports and acts as that soul. It is the informations from your own unconsciousness, not from that soul. That soul has gone, disappeared once for all and carrying on with his life. You may be projecting it out of your unconscious informations while your unconscious supports the projection and the whole reading, talking, all the incidents related to it. It is like you using your own hand, caressing you or beating yourself. It is your own extension.
The next question is from Thyagarajan: ‘Dear Swamiji, what should one do to leave the body without pain and in graceful way?’
Every night when you fall asleep, again and again and again, do death process meditation, nirbhaya dhyana. So when you do the nirbhaya dhyana, facing all the fears, death process, it will clear your inner space. Naturally you will enter into painless death and deathless space.
The next question is from Rani from Bangalore: ‘Why does the consciousness keep moving from one body to another, as with its next birth it forgets its prarabdha, and has to waste more time knowing it or not knowing it at all? It does not even realize that it is choosing to move away from the Source. How does the Source support it at the time of death?’
As Mahadeva revealed, Source neither supports nor disturbs. It is the part which continues to keep the idea it is separate, alive, by its own existence. Source feels compassionate towards the suffering of the part and tries to remind the part in the form of guru, but unfortunately if the part is too attached to the idea it is a part, it not only does not want to listen to the Source when it comes in the form of the guru, and blames the guru is lying about the reality.
The next question is from Dr. Sita from Chennai: ‘Dear Swamiji, how does one understand death to be a continuity? Does one take the new journey of birth from the place where he lived in terms of a spiritual level?’
There is no new journey - spiritual economical social educational; in all the levels of Saraswatya, Lakshmitva and Durgatva, the Kalitva, in all levels the soul starts where it stopped in the time of death. So there is not even a stopping and starting. It is just letting the new body to mature. Till the new body grows and matures, the soul rests. The moment the new body grows and matures it starts expressing its journeys, qualities, the way you live or leave the wealth, education and mental setup.
The next question is from Uma Sundar from Chennai: ‘Swamiji, it is said that when you live fully in the moment throughout your life, death when it comes is but another event gracefully accepted. What is living in the moment according to Kalabhairava?’
Living in the moment means enjoying the totality of past present future. Living in the moment is not excluding the past and future. It is including, enjoying the impact of the past into the present and enjoying the possibilities of the future into the present. It is not that always past pushes you into the present. It is future pulls you into the present. That is why before even the happening happens you are in the mood which is going to happen. So it is future’s influence which is more on your present than the past influence. Past directly influences the future and through the future indirectly influences the present. Accepting all the 3 influences on the present and enjoying present is the base material of time.
Past is the ghost, future is the projection of the ghost. Ghost and the projection of the ghost, both of them are projected on the material called present. That is present moment. Accepting the ghost of the past and projection of the ghost of the future, projection of the ghost of the past, which is future, in the present, including the material called present out of which all the three are living, are enjoying, accepting all the three’s influence over the present moment is living in the present moment. The great acceptance will make you live the present moment and experience restful awareness.
The next question is from Devaki from Hyderabad. She is asking, ‘Dear Swamiji, what are the practices which can help the consciousness to leave the mortal body at will?’
Continuously if you watch your breath and know how the breath goes inside the body and mixes into your blood, spreads all over the body through your nervous system as energy which is strengthens the existence and reflection of life in your body, you will know when to stop the life supporting the individual life in your body; the prana supporting the reflection and life in your body.
The next question is from Suma from Hyderabad. She is asking, ‘What is conscious death or graceful exit, and what is the exact lifestyle one needs to live in his lifetime to have a conscious death?’
Graceful exit means without any pain without any resentment leaving the body with a deep fulfillment, and deciding further whether to create another one body or once for all get enlightened and be liberated from the body and minds. The graceful exit naturally does not have any hangover and gives you the complete choice and possibility of next body or enlightenment. If you decide to assume the next body you are Incarnation, if you decide to be in the space of enlightenment you are God. So both choices are between you, within you. Both are made available for you. The lifestyle you need to live for the graceful exit is learn gracefully to exit in your life any moment which brings anything to you, whether you perceive that as good or bad, know how to gracefully exit without any hangover; move gracefully ahead of everything. Gracefully moving ahead, whether it is pain or pleasure, joy or life or death; whatever it is, move gracefully ahead.
