“vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro 'parani tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi”

“As a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moves into new one, likewise the embodied one discards the old dwelling place this body and moves on to new dwelling place another body.”

As I said Krishna is enjoying the sincerity of Arjuna and Arjuna is literally drinking Krishna! See in the Gita Stotra it says that Gita is the essence of all the Upanishads. See vedas are the cow, Upanishads are the milk & Gita is the butter. You don’t need to get a cow and take care and you don’t need to milk and then put little curd in it and make curd then churn it and get butter out of it. No. Bhagavan does all the job. You just eat. Arjuna must have been in ecstasy. I tell you unless disciple is in ecstasy, these highest words, cannot be uttered by a master continuously. See for last few verses continuously Bhagavan is speaking the pure truth without mixing. If the disciple is not in ecstasy, you may be able to tell one word, one verse not more than that. Only when a disciple is in ecstasy receptive mood, joy, joy of learning more & more, joy of imbibing more & more, joy of getting fulfilled, only then master can go on talking these extraordinary truths, these extraordinary teachings!

“vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro 'parani tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi”

First time an example has been used. Understand Krishna is using an example. Means he is in a very casual mood. He is very relaxed. He is more in the mode of restful awareness than a tense teacher he is supposed to impart certain syllabus. Please understand with syllabus there will not be similes and examples. Only when you are free to transmit the knowledge, the examples and similes and stories and jokes go on pouring out of you! Without stories, jokes, examples, it will be almost like atheism non-prophet organization. Theism is non-profit organization, atheism is non-prophet organization! Just to talk bluntly you don’t need a prophet. Only to talk intelligently, to transmit the restful awareness, to transmit the truth you need a prophet, you need a incarnation, you need a great Jagath Guru like Mahadeva, Bhagavan Krishna. He says as a man discards a old dwelling place, that is ruined and moves into a new one, likewise the embodied one discards the old dwelling place this body and moves to a new dwelling place, another body! What an explanation, God! I tell you exactly you feel. After death there is only one suffering. You will suffer – Oh God! It is such a simple thing, why did I suffer my whole life thinking this will be a suffering? That will be the only suffering. You would have taken many decisions thinking that your death is a suffering because of that fear you wouldn’t have lived many things. That will be the only suffering you will have when you leave the body! When you leave the body – oh God! Such a simple thing, missed my whole life thinking that is will be a huge suffering! It’s like a you know there was a huge treasury in a cave and but you have been misinformed that entering that cave will be highly dangerous you may bleed unto death and all that. But suddenly, somehow by mistake, you are lost in the forest and you walked this way, that way finally, you cross a thorny bush, get scratched all over the body - but small wound not dangerous not like death, not huge. Thorny bush and here & there your body is scratched and you will have little bleeding but you will reach that cave. What will you think? Oh god, only these few thorns! What a foolish idea I was in! I thought I will literally die if I reach this cave. But now I realize only just few thorns, nothing more! Nothing else! It is such a big difficulty only in mind. I tell you when you cross death you will have this exact mood. Now you have too many ideas, misconceptions. You are misguided - death is huge happening in your life. You have been misguided, marriage is the huge happening and you know it after 16 days – how you have been misguided ☺ Same way, you are misguided death is a big happening. Within 16 seconds of your death you will know oh God! Such a simple thing. Why was I given such a wrong ideas & concepts and misleading, misguiding informations? Understand, you are searching for a secret treasure – two close friends one who knows the secret is telling the other one and you overhear it, how you will use it - use exactly in the same tune, tone, this truth –

“As a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moves into new one likewise the embodied one discards this old dwelling place this body and moves on to a new dwelling place.”

This one understanding from Bhagavan is enough to liberate you! I tell you let me be very honest and I tell you the experience from my own life recently - this doctors were really threatening me, literally when I had this fracture. So I did not have a pain, I went through the surgery. But these doctors were literally trying to put me in depression by saying – pain you might have managed, but anitbiotics come on, let us see! It is such a big torture, they used so many different different technical terms. I really started feeling – oh God! Maybe because of my enlightenment, pain is not there but who knows, what kind of antibiotics they are going to give and what kind of effects it is going to have. They said you will be depressed, you will be mentally imbalanced. Practically they wanted to put me in asylum! You will be irritated, agitated, your body will go through this & that, they said as if you are chewing metal & eating, you are drinking metal liquid, liquid metal you will feel that way in the throat - all this big big things I heard. Anyhow I prepared all my weapons and tools and equipments ready to fall into samadhi and stay in samadhi continuously if I have this kind of difficulties with antibiotics. With all my weapons and tools and everything I was ready. I was waiting, waiting, waiting when is that going to happen. One week over. I went to the doctor again and asked Doctor when it will start happening? You said you are going to give me antibiotics, when are you going to start? He said Oh God! Already last one week I am giving you. Then I thought as usual, they are fools! ☺ it did not do anything! How I felt at that moment – aiy! Such a small thing, why did they make such big fuss about it? You will feel exactly same way when you leave the body. Do not make any of your decision based on this death fear. See the problem is when you accept death fear, that forms based ground, fertile ground for all other weeds to happen. All other weeds are the other fears – flight phobia. In internet I saw there are some 140 phobias are there. There is a phobia called Japanese phobia – in US people are afraid of Japanese. That is a separate disorder. Japanese phobia – no really, I have heard about fear of snakes, fear of elephant, fear of flight, fear of height, but when I Googled I saw there is Japanese phobia. Anyhow what to do? All phobias are the weeds grows in the fertile ground which is called death fear! The moment you agree, accept death fear, you create a foundation for all the fears to happen in your life. There is a first phobia in the internet is Ablutophobia - fear of washing or bathing – I know how many people have that fear! Acarophobia- fear of itching or insects, Acerophobia- fear of sour throat, sourness, Oh God! Acousticophobia - fear of noise, Aeroacrophobia - fear of heights! How many phobias are there? Teleophobia – it means you know - fear of religious ceremonies ☺ You will be surprised people are really seriously having these fears, going to doctors and those doctors also refer the books and giving them medicines! Do you need anymore evidence that this is Kaliyuga? It is not just Iron age – ironic age! There is a fear called Sophophobia - fear of learning – I know so many have that! There is a thing called syngenesophobia - fear of relatives. Wow! All these phobias have death fear as the foundation!

See this time when I went to Tibet I had the fortune of seeing so many people living Buddhism. See ordinary drivers, sitting with the beeds 24 hours. Even while they get 10 minutes break during the driving, in one hand they pick up the cigarette that is their habit to protect themselves from the cold but the other hand the beeds – “om mani padmeham,” “om mani padmeham,” “om mani padmeham,” “om mani padmeham,” – it goes on in their being. Their being is vibrant with that one mantra! I had the fortune of seeing many of them living Buddhism. Living the great tradition of enlightenment. I saw practically the death fear is missing in them. Some of these drivers and guides were telling me, when people die, their body is chopped to pieces and given here. It is called sky burial and the eagles and birds come and eat those body parts and disappear! When he was describing, there is no idea or suffering about death! There is no idea or suffering, fear, misconceptions about death. I was looking into his eyes when he was describing, I saw just no death fear!

“As a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moves into a new one likewise the embodied one discards this old dwelling place and moves on to a new dwelling place”

Upanishadic references are there. I will give you some of the cross reference for this great truth.

“Ayamaatmetam shareeram nihatya avidyam kamayitvaat kanyavataram kalyana roopam kurude priyam va gaandharvam va daivam va prajavatyam va Brahmanam va Brahmam va anyeshaam va bhootanam”

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4th chapter, 4the canto, 4th verse –

“This self setting this body aside making it senseless create another newer and better form fit for the maness or the celestial minstrels or the Gods or hiranya Garbha or other beings”

Understand, just like how you remove clothes – the old clothes and wear the new one, very casually. There is no suffering in it. It is only a work. Same way, how you move from one cloth to another cloth, same way, you move from one body to another body. There is no suffering involved in it. I will give you a visual on this moving from one body to another body. All of you can see very simple. See that visual then I will continue. Just show that visual ma moving from one body to another body. Just se. the visual may be able to give you an idea. Understand, if you trust Krishna is an incarnation, if you trust he happened in the planet earth, if you trust he himself told his close friend class mate and glass mate Arjuna, then you just can’t afford to have death fear. People come to me and claim they are great Krishna Bhaktas. But if you have death fear, you can’t claim yourself as Krishna Bhakta. You can’t project yourself as a Krishna Bhakta. Please understand this 3-4 statements. If you trust Krishna was in the body, now there is enough of proof Krishna was in the body and if you trust he himself taught Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, there is enough of evidences now based on the linguistic researches, the language is of krishna’s time language. Then you can’t afford to have death fear. It is a sacred secret revealed by Krishna! We will see a small clip. I wanted to show a small video clip on scientific researches, a proof that Krishna existed – the Dwaraka existed because that will add so much of value to your receptivity. You will able to receive Gita in much better way if you know Krishna lived in the body. Can you show the video?

\<Video is played\>

Understand there are some more clips. I will show you continuously in other Satsangs. When I saw these all, I tell you even in one corner, the doubt I had disappeared! Everybody will have doubt – how do we know Krishna was there or not, how do we know all these things are just stories or myth? No. there is enough of archeological evidences, solid proof Dwaraka existed as described in the Maha Bharatha and Krishna existed. He gave these verses, words to Arjuna – listen, listen to these secret words. Understand in a proper way –

Just as a man discards the old dwelling place that is ruined and moves into new one like you move from one room to another one. Please understand this verse can be interpreted in 2 ways – Just as a man casts off his worn out clothes and puts on new ones, the self casts off worn out bodies and enters newer ones. You can translate in another way also - just as a man enters from one room to another room, when you, if your old house is dilapidated you wanted to move to the new one, how you move from the old one to the new one, with that same ease, you move from one body to another body. I will give you some more cross references from Upanishads emphasizing on this truth. Because this truth is a basic thread for our whole Hindu Tradition. Please understand this is the unique truth of our Hindu Tradition – non portable. That is this concept of life & death. Truth about life and death. Nobody knows – who has seen never came back, who has come back has never seen. But here is a one person who has seen and came back that is Krishna.

So sit and contemplate on this one truth as the most sacred secret in your heart for few minutes. I bless you all sitting with us at this moment in 600 places through eNtv, in 14 cities through Nayana Deeksha in 200 cities, in 20 countries!
