Sutras 3 and 4

[Guest guest]

Jai Maa,

If the ultimate goal of birth or aim of life is victory over death

(sutra three), then I must ask what is death? There is death of the

moment, death of the dream, of the loved one, of the habit, of the

body, of the hour. Is death an ending or an appearance? I think death

is identification with things that are limited by time and space as

well as the illusion of seperation. If we have the wisdom to know the

temporal is not the sum of us, then there is victory over death.

 

Also from sutra four, the bija mantras help with the dross of

samscaras. The veil of all that we are not, the thick covering, rough,

and hard that hides the white of the inner coconut. Adhering to the

yamas and niyamas assists us to recognize these as covering, not as

our inner Self. The bija mantras assist us to harmonize with the

vibration of that which we choose to express. The outer body may

appear to move through the seasons of birth, bloom, aging and the

death of winter, but the Truth is we never die and that Self simply

appears to move through life after life or season after season.

Knowing this, at our core being, we are free of fear. The samscaras

and death hold no power over us.

Jai Maa,

Sadhu Maa

What beautiful thoughts. As Lord Krishna said: Established in Being,

perform action. And Another Thought: Be without the 3 gunas.

When we experience the Unity in all, then we are truly free. Death

does not hold us, for He cannot grasp the Eternal.

Swami said in class recently: when one has realized the Self, then

there is no death. The soul never dies, and the realized one just

slips off one body, and chooses another.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
