![]() ![]() What is that ‘something’ beyond this world? What is the reality? What is the truth? What is the centre of all this? Then this secret, which is very sacred, will be revealed to you through the Gurumandala. Then you are qualified to hear about the Brahman. Then something happens, a phenomenon takes place. That waiting, that longing, that readiness brings the wandering mind closer. Ready to catch, ready to grasp the moment. Upanishad means being there totally in the present moment. Sit in Upanishad, and walk through the gates of Gurumandala. When these four types of fear disappear, then you are qualified to come and sit close to the divine. You should take absolute care of this body, but without feverishness, without this aishana. That does not mean you don’t have to take care of your body. It is going to happen and it will happen. It is an inevitable phase in life it has a beginning and an end. See, a healthy man will die, and a sick person will also die. What is its result? It does not allow you to enjoy the moment, to be free. People who have incurable diseases, amputated limbs, don’t want to die. They say, ‘‘I want to live few more years. You see, very sick people, who are absolutely sick, they are not ready to die. People who have not lived their lives fully, have this craving to live for more and more years. When there are so many fresh apples growing, why to keep one apple, make it ancient, and then eat it?īody is a perishable item. But why make the physical body immortal? Nature is providing you a fresh body again and again. Then comes Jeevaishana, the fourth aishana: wanting to live longer! Wanting to become immortal physically. Lokaishana can create fear in you and pull you down. This ‘wanting’ in order to be able to show off, for other people’s sake, for what others will say, is Lokaishana. They become jealous, and start criticising them.Īnd they become very unhappy! When you are in the peak of fame, and trying to maintain your fame, there is such fear, such uneasiness in you. See, people who are very famous, what is happening to them? Does their fame remain the same all the time? Some other person becomes a little more famous, another singer, another actor, another dancer. Wanting to do some work so that your name should be there for all generations to come, become immortal! Wanting to be famous, wanting to be something. But what you care now is: ‘‘Oh, what will people think about me?’’ You want to be praised by everybody in the world. ![]() And whatever has to be spent will be spent. Don’t you know this? Why worry so much about money? Have trust and say ‘‘Let what I need be provided’’ then work putting in one hundred percent into it, and see that whatever comes, it will come. The very big companies who have billions, they are in debt. Haven’t you seen this? People who had all riches, they had to abandon everything and became paupers overnight. Billionaires were stranded in the Sahara desert for so many days, fighting like dogs over a loaf of bread and getting into a panic for a bottle of water. It is a book that keeps your mind in the bank. What will you do with it? Are you going to enjoy thirty million in your lifetime? Money is essential but the craving for money in the mind can overshadow you and your life so totally that you will be unable to see the reality, recognise love, and see something beyond. How much can you have? What do you want to do with it? Okay, let’s say you have 30 million dollars. I know one old woman who used to say, ‘‘If somebody is sick in their head, give them lots of coins, they’ll go on counting, and the sickness will go away’’. There are so many problems and suffering because of this aishana. It gets you so feverish in your mind it clogs your thinking so much that you don’t really see what is good for them. But people say, ‘‘Oh my children, my children’’. ![]() You were just the doorway for them to come through. In reality, whose children are they? They are God’s children. Tomorrow, when they grow up, and don’t have time for you, you are heartbroken. Number one is Putraishana - always thinking about the progeny, attachment to the children. These are called aishanas, and they are: Putraishana, Vittaishana, Lokaishana and Jeevaishana. ![]() What is it that keeps you far and away from reality, from truth, from the divine? They are four types of fears or cravings that bind you to the world. ![]()
