20 Jan 2013 – Know Death for No Death
I welcome you all with my love and respects
1:01- shloka
With this shloka, on authenticity through the katopanishad.
The translation of this verse.
If you think of any other boon equal to this ask for wealth and long life, be ruler over the wide earth, O Nachiketha! I shall make you enjoyer of all desires.
So I continue. Ramakrishna says very beautifully- If a young princess is offered to you with the whole kingdom as a dowry, Even then you don’t even want to look at the face of the princess and consider even the size of the kingdom, You can be given sanyaas. Not before that. When the sanyaas is about to be given, If suddenly a young princess with thw whole kingdom as a dowry is given to you and Not that you will look at her face and the kingdom and then say yes or no. If you don’t even look up to look at her face or look at the size of the kingdom, and say “NO”. Then you can be given sanyaas. That is what exactly here Yama is offering. And one more thing, When you complete the completion and travel towards enlightenment, the capability for pleasure will drastically increase in your mind. There is a possibility you can just be stuck with the pleasures.
This is the danger. This is the danger.
Shloka – 3:35
I just wanted to chant this verse again and again. Because it shows, it is almost like a silly joke yama makes. Let’s see what the next verse says
4:14- shloka
Whatsoever objects of desire are difficult to obtain in the realm of mortals, ask them all as thou desires, Those lovely maidens with their chariots and musical instruments such are not obtained by mortals, be served by these whom I give to you. Oh Nachiketa! do not ask regarding death.
Means I’ll give you bigger ship, bigger ship, bigger ship, and you ask best things of world in that. You have a beautiful theatre in that ship, beautiful swimming pool in that ship. Sauna, steam and whatever you want. I’ll give you a helipad but you can’t go out. I’ll build separate palace for you inside the ship . I’ll give you chariots, inside the ship you can drive around. I’ll give you all musical instruments, inside the ship you can be playing. BUT, don’t ask me to anchor the ship
5:54- inner awakening add
Whatsoever objects of desire are difficult to obtain in the realm of mortals, ask them all as thou desires, Those lovely maidens with their chariots and musical instruments such are not obtained by mortals, be served by these whom I give to you. Oh Nachiketa! do not ask regarding death.
How many of you will accept all the special things inside the ship instead of anchoring the ship. No! you may shake the head now, but you are doing it in your life. If you are postponing aligning yourself to authenticity, you are doing this. You say- “I’ll just enjoy this, and tomorrow I will anchor. Today Bonda, tomorrow anchor”. ‘Its ok’ is moving your ship along with the flow. When you say ‘it is NOT ok’ that is the anchor. When you say ‘it’s ok’, ship is moving in the current. See whether your life is running with ‘It’s ok’ or ‘ It’s NOT ok’.
It is the most dangerous pattern (which)can make even god into human being. ‘It’s Not ok’ will make even man into god. Don’t put anchoring as the second priority, Then the pleasures inside the ship. All pleasures inside the ship is floating in the current of death fear which is going to fall as falls of death.
It is like you are floating in the kaveri in the high speed it is going to fall in Hogenakkal as a falls. And you are to busy enjoying the things which are in the boat, did not bother to get into one boat or get into one bank and save yourself. Knowledge of death is anchoring, enlightenment is getting down to the bank.
Nachiketa is being told by yama, “Do not ask regarding death. Anything else is ok. Do not ask regarding death. Anything else is ok.”
11:31- shloka
Every time your in authenticity comes up don’t be a past record of ‘It’s OK’ instead be a possibility of ‘It is NOT OK’. Then you become more and more authentic. Authenticity stabilizes your being. Authenticity is the only thing which can cross and not disturb your being towards enlightenment
How he is describing visually see. Lovely maidens with chariots and musical instruments such as are not obtainable by mortals be served by these whom I give it to you. Means what? all over your ship I will make it into gold, hang pearls, amazing servants. Great bed lie down, then I’ll push you into the falls. Take bath, swim in the swimming pool. We will apply the sandal paste, all the scent perfume on you. Eat pizza, lie down. Have a beautiful blanket. Have the maidens served. Then we’ll push the ship into the falls. Don’t you understand you will have a golden toilet. But don’t ask about how to anchor.
‘It’s OK’ is flowing with the current. ‘It’s not ok’ is anchoring to protect yourself. So today, the mahavakya you need to learn is ‘It is NOT OK’
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss- NITHYANANDA.
