Delete Death

27 September, 2015 @ 7:44 pm

We fail to erase "death" from our writings of our fate; we fail to delete it from the programs in our minds. The undying myth called death revives itself, raises its fearsome hood, as though a reality, each time a creature makes the (re-)appearance called birth.

Lecture Given in April 2015

8 August, 2015 @ 9:00 pm

I have taken, announced a vow of five years of silence on Shivaratri, 2013 when I got very ill – and I still am – with hospitalization, doctors, nurses. I have to break my vow – but I am starting again from the 10th, 11th of April and hoping that I will not have any interruptions. But I’ll still keep teaching. There are other ways to teach.

On Death

8 August, 2015 @ 8:40 pm

We all begin in silence, pass through the music and the song of life, and return to silence. Silence is eternal, the underlying stream. Life, as we know it, as a process, is only from one short end to another short end - brief. The eternal life that we speak of is the life force ever in silence. In this, the state, up to birth and the state from the point of the so-called death, is one and the same - identical.I leave this room in which I was with you. I enter another room. For your eyes, I disappeared. That absence of appearance is a silence given to your sight. I go to the next room, and those who were there say a child is born and rejoice. Over the same event of my leaving one room and entering another room, you grieve, they rejoice. Thus it is that all the sages and the saints of the past have spoken of death contemptuously, have said that it is a myth, a figment of imagination. Something produced by our fears. Not something substantial that we fear, but something that our fear has produced. Those who have demolished the myth are the realized ones.

Natural Laws and God’s Hand

19 July, 2015 @ 3:16 pm

Why do we suffer? Why should the sweetest and the most innocent child suffer? Why has God created suffering?God has not created suffering. Some philosophical schools of India even believe that God and Nature are two coeval forces operating together without infringing each other’s nature. Others propose only that God manifests, by a part of Her/Himself, in the form of nature.
