Life Is A Prison

Questioner: What is life in your enlightened view?

Dadashri: Life in my enlightened view is a prison. There

are four kinds of prisons: Those who are in heaven are in the

prison of simple surveillance with all the comforts. The human

beings are in a simple prison. The animals are in a prison of intense

labor and hardship. Those in hell are in a prison of hell with life

long pain and torture.

The Saw Is Cutting This Log (Life) From The Moment Of

Birth

The body is slowly dying every second, but do people realize

this? It is not until a log completely falls apart in two pieces that

people say the log has been cut. Nevertheless it was in the process

of being cut from the moment the saw first touches it.




Fear Of Death

There is constant fear in this world. The world is never void

of fear for even a moment. And for whatever time one does not

have any fear, he is living in ignorance of the real nature of this

world. This happens because people are asleep even when their

eyes are open (i.e. people are in a state of ignorance of the reality

of this world).

Questioner: It is said that the Soul never dies. It is eternal.

Dadashri: The Soul never dies, but as long as you have

not become the Soul (Self-realized), you will experience fear.

Do you not fear death? If something were to happen to your

body, you will begin to have fear about dying. It is because of

your conviction and belief that you are this body and that you

are Chandulal, that there is death. But if that focus and belief

was not one with the body, then death cannot touch you.

Yamraj - God of Death or Destiny?

I want to get rid of all these superstitions and false beliefs

in India. Our entire country is plagued and ruined because of

superstition, false beliefs and rituals. I assure you that there is no

such being as Yamraj (God of death). When people ask me

what it is, I tell them that it is simply destiny, the law of karma,

which results in death. I say it exactly as I see it in my Gnan. It is

not based on anything that I have read. I am saying this through

my vision of Gnan, not through these physical eyes.
