“If a person dies before reaching Enlightenment does she get a choice…”
If a person dies before reaching Enlightenment does she get a choice about whether to return to earth or not?" Yes, you have - you have to take a body till you become Enlightened. If you live restless life immediately you will take a body - otherwise, you can wait and take a body but you have to come back - come back, come down.
Till you become Enlightened, you have to come back. "What do I need to do, If I want to make you as my guru?" All I say is only one thing: you need to have the psychological revolution inside and do everyday Nithya Dhyaan. This is only two thing. Psychological revolution means live the truth courageously. Whatever you know as a truth, live it courageously. The more and more truth will be revealed to you.
Please understand. If you realise one truth in your life and if you execute the truth - when you make decisions about life, at least 2-3 times - then the second truth will start opening your being. This is what I call 'nivarthi': life towards Enlightenment. If you don’t execute the truth which has become your realisation, the second time the same truth you won’t even remember. Please understand. You won’t even remember. So any truth which clicks with you, the spiritual truth, ideas - start living it. That is what I call 'psychological revolution' and at least once do Nithya Dhyaan. This two is enough - you can claim yourself as My disciple. Or I can say you are My disciple.
This is the simple thing - all other things will happen by itself. I don’t say only if you wear My mala you are my disciple. I don’t say you are wearing My bracelet you are My disciple. Sometimes these fellows who use these things - see, this mala, bracelet and all is just to remind you that you are suppose to have the psychological revolution. Mala is especially to remind you to have psychological revolution. A bracelet is just to remind you everyday whether you have done Nithya Dhyaan.
Before eating you should remember, "Have I done Nithya Dhyaan?" If not stop eating, do Nithya Dhyaan come back and eat. For that only this bracelet. So all these things are to remind you. Don’t think only that makes you My disciple. No! And these fellows - it become a fashion actually of late. Because millions of people are wearing. So, I always tell people: remember the spirit behind - then it will become spiritual, otherwise it will become ritual. Don’t make things ritual - make spiritual.
"After Enlightenment do we lose temper at times?" It's a funny, funny question. Understand. Two thing: first thing, I don’t have mind to lose temper or have temper. Second thing, so I am very practical - maybe you can say I play with the mask of anger and it is just used sometime but I, myself never hurt or I, myself never get disturbed - because there is no mind.
What is the desire that holds you in your body?" Actually, if you watch Me very closely - I will be just continuously touching and My rolling my finger or rolling the rudraksha. Repeating the mantra, that is the way I hold on to My body. That is the way - hold on to My body. Wherever you may see Me, whether it is in discourse or classes or anything - either I will holding the rudraksha or I will be just moving the finger. If the rudraksha is not there I will be just moving the finger - means I am trying to hold on to the body; repeating the mantra. So, mantra is the thing with which I am holding myself into the body.
Some of you have written your wonderful experience with the last meditation. Good! I say all these experiences are very good encouraging steps but don’t think you have achieved something great or don’t stop - go deeper and deeper into the experiences. The person who is experiencing should disappear into the experience. Till then go into it. Experience, experiencer, experienced - all the three will disappear. Till then you have to continue.
Do you agree with the concept of mercy killing?" No, I don’t agree. Person has to leave only by natural way. There is no such thing as mercy killing. What can needs to be done about the prarabdha - desires can not be realised?" No! You will never be able to miss your prarabdha. Your Prarathta is - understand, your prarabdha brings enough energy to fulfill itself - to fulfill itself. So, you will never miss your prarabdha - don’t bother.
"Are you really Enlightened or are you a super genius spiritual mutant - with a 10 or 500 plus - who can comprehend everything better. Sorry, if this is sounding atheistic or too bold - thank you." It is not atheistic - you see, even if you think that IQ of 500 plus - it can only...See, genius means, person who has gone beyond the mind - person was beyond the mind - that IQ, if you are living balanced life you are Enlightened.
