O’ Lord ! O’ My Lord ! May I never forget You !

दृश्यमात्र अदृश्यमें जा रहा है

There is one very straight-forward point. Understand it properly, then your spiritual practices will go very well. Just as it is accepted and known that the current of Gangaji is flowing, then thereafter there will be no doubt about whether the current is flowing or not. Then just as the current of Gangaji is flowing (moving rapidly), similarly the current of life is flowing (moving rapidly).

This entire world is constantly moving towards disappearing. That which is seen (visible) is every moment going towards un-seen (invisible). That which was visible yesterday, is invisible today. Think a little bit and see, that the body that was there yesterday, is not there today. It is changing every moment. In this manner, every moment the visible is becoming invisible. It is a simple straight-forward point. There is nothing to learn in this. Whether you accept it, or you know it. This is all-in-all going away. In this if there is any doubt, then speak up ! The day that someone dies, then people say, that today he died. But in reality, the day he was born, that very same day, the dying began, and the day he dies, the dying is completed.

Every moment, the present, situation - circumstance is going away. Wealth and poverty, respect - disrespect, honor-dishonor, strong-weak, diseased-healthy etc. whatever be the current situation or condition, it is all going away. Now what is there to be pleased and displeased about all this ? After understanding this point, remain firm and determinate on it. Now if someone comes and says that so-and-so died, then let the feelings within be that what is new about this ? That which has been happening all the time (every moment), that itself happened. If some new points are seen in this, then it is that the visible is at all times going towards becoming invisible. Our sight is not on this, therefore, when we hear about dying, we begin to worry, we feel hurt.

This world is the abode of death. This is the place for the dying. All those who live here are the kind to die and die only. Besides death, what else is there? Evidently everything is going into non-existence. So far the number of days that have been lived, that many days one has died; it is a lie that we have lived that long. And we have died, this point is absolutely correct. One has to understand this point, one does not have to remember it.

Now tell me, with respect to the number of days that you have lived, in it do you not see the act of dying ? Then think that if the black hair did not die, then today where did the white hair come from? You say that we have transformed, then what happens at death ? It is a transformation only. Previously the way the body looked so alive, it does not appear like that now. It does not look like it is breathing and living like before. Half your life has gone away, then you have died partially (half) already!

Half the life has already gone by - you accept this point, but you are half dead - this point you cannot understand or comprehend. As a matter of fact, it is one and the same thing. The difference is only of words, but in sentiments, there is no difference whatsoever. One appears harsh to the ear, therefore it seems that there is desire to live. But the point is still very true. Half your life has gone away, this is clear, therefore that which you already have understood, I am making more firm and clear. That is all my work is. I am not teaching anything new.

There are three points - one is learnt, one is accepted (believed), and one is known. Simply accept it firmly, or know it thoroughly - that is all I am saying. Then that point will remain ever kindled. There is no doubt about it. Then the number of years that have gone by, is there ever a doubt about that? If there is no doubt about that, then how is it that you are not sure about the number of years you have died ? The body is leaving constantly (at all times), this is the absolute truth.

I am sharing with you something that took place in my life. The day I understood that this scene that is visible is moving towards being invisible; I was so very pleased that Oh ho ! What an exceptional point this is ! What a great point ! I do not cheat, I do not tell lies. You please pay a little attention, that is this body moving towards death or is it moving towards life ? The real truth is that it is moving towards death. Visible is moving towards the invisible, then that too is moving towards death. The thought that came to my mind is that just as when a child learns A, B, C, D etc., then he remembers it once and for all. When asked, he will immediately repeats it. He does not have to remember. In the same way, while walking-strolling and at all times you too remember that, everything is going away. The visible is becoming invisible. The existent is becoming non-existent. Life is going towards death. Visible is moving towards being invisible. In this manner, remember this at all times, then automatically it will have a tremendous impact on you. You will benefit immensely. Like a child, learn and memorize this lesson. The extent of greed that is there for sense pleasure, that much, one does not honor these points. Greed and honor / respect are two things. There is less respect for this point and more respect for greed. The main mistake is that you do not have much honor and respect for this point. Therefore, today onwards, give due respect to this point.
