Who is truly dead? One who will not die again. Ordinary death leads to rebirth and then back to death, over and over again. Real death is when we die but we will never die again. Instead, we will live after dying, after attaining samadhi ( realization) in this life. Realization means the death of desires, and that leads to real freedom. This kind of death creates a new life with no more death, a life of completeness with a taste of immortality. When our birth is successful, our death is successful. We are free from the cycle of birth and death. It is a state of freedom and liberation. To make birth successful, to make death successful, we must live complete lives by following the footsteps of the masters.

Kriya Yoga is based on deep, long, correct and scientific breathing. Breath control is self-control. Breath mastery is self-mastery. If you are angry and breathe deeply, then the anger disappears. During sleep, your breathes are long and deep. This gives the arteries, cells, atoms, tissues, diaphragm, muscles, motor and sensory nerves time to rest. After working all day, seven to eight hours of sleep will give you fresh energy. The divine power combined with your deep breathing rejuvenates and regenerates your entire system. During sleep you are unconsciously like yogis because you experience calmness without any effort. You do not experience that state while you are awake because you do not know how to attain and maintain it.

Ego envelopes us and covers everything. But when ego is erased, gradually we experience our real nature -- everything is in me, I am in everything. God in all, all in God. But in our daily lives, we keep our hearts and minds so narrow. With a strong sense of likes and dislikes, with our critical judgment of this world and people, with our own minds, we observe. But neither is our mind permanent, because it is changing because it is part of jagat ( the changing world), nor is the nature of another person whom we judged permanent, because that is also changing. While living in this impermanent world -- the changing world of body, mind, emotion and feeling -- we divide it into likes and dislikes. As a result, we all suffer. Our attachment, our hatred, is born out of ignorance and causes us much pain within.Those who do not change this attitude towards the world will be the only ones to suffer.

Try to cultivate the attitude that you should not hold on to things.Learn how to live. If you never exhaled, you would not be able to inhale. If the food you ate were not digested and excreted, you would not be able to eat. There simply would be no room for fresh air or food. So spiritual life is an inner journey and a life of detachment made for a higher purpose. This journey is not confined to just one hour of practice every day, but should be continuous. Spiritual life is a never ending journey.

There was once an orchard full of enticing mangoes. The garden itself was well protected but an inviting notice hung at the door. Everyone was welcome as long as they did not stay after dusk, or carried away any of the mangoes.

One day, two old friends entered the beautiful garden. One friend lost no time, plucked the delicious fruits and enjoyed them. The other friend was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the orchard and all the different mango species. He spent his time wandering around in a daze. After a while, he even lost all notion of what he really wanted. The hours ticked away and evening fell. When the gatekeeper called them both back, the first friend was ready to leave; he was fully satisfied with his day. The other friend, on the other hand, felt a sense of loss, he had wasted a wonderful opportunity. He left in an angry and unsatisfied state of mind.

Life itself is like this mango orchard; there is freedom to enjoy, but in the end we must leave everything behind. When darkness comes, our journey ends. We are here to grow from every experience. We must make giant strides on the road of self-improvement, if we want to reach our goal.

The people who attain prajna ( wisdom) have no narrow- mindedness, no worldly mood. They are constantly engrossed in that which is all-pervading. Their inner and outer lives are full of tranquillity and peace. They are free from agitation and irritation. They are not disturbed or perturbed by loss or gain. They are free from all repentance and remorse.
Consider the business attitude of a banker. When people deposit and withdraw money, the banker is neither happy with deposits nor unhappy with withdrawals. He profits from the flow of all the money. In the same way, spiritual people neither forfeit inner peace with the material loss nor rejoice with gain. They are not expecting anything. They are free from agitation. In truth, nothing can be lost in the universe except character. When character is lost everything is lost.

The formless is manifested as different names and forms, so every spiritual seeker must train the mind to recognise the presence of God in everything. This is the art of living in the presence of God. Perceiving the living presence of God in family, friends, at work, in flowers, fruits, and trees, in every object and every element. As the waves and ocean are one, the world and God are one. You can see this by watching the breath and by perceiving the manifestation of God in everything. The proverb says, " If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all. "

How are we to know if our decisions are right or wrong?

Life is a process of learning and evolution. We learn more from our mistakes than from our right decisions. Whenever you take a false step, it gives you a lesson. Before making any decision, pray to God, meditate and, in that state of tranquility, make the decision. If the outcome is good be grateful; if it is not, move on, accepting that it was not a good decision. Do not waste time in feeling guilty or regretting the past. Learn your lesson and do not repeat the mistake. Keep the mind always busy with cheerful positive thoughts.

Ancient mythology describes Shiva as the originator and propagator of divine wisdom : Ta**ra, Yoga, Music, Dance, Grammar and Language. Shiva is the supreme master of Ta**ra, Yoga and Meditation; teaching the art of discrimination and detachment from his own experience. Shiva remains permanently engrossed in a state of deep meditation, experiencing divine bliss.

In our daily meditation, after having relaxed the mind and body through simple breathing and specific exercises, which are conducive to deep concentration, we merge silently with the univers, allowing our inner voice to be heard. In that silence, we gain tremendous peace, strength and even practical answers to the questions haunting us, whether these relate to our family life, our careers or our spiritual growth. If we really go within, we can constantly hear the voice of God.

Shri Hanuman is our ideal. He shows us the way to face challenges and difficulties without being discouraged or disheartened.

We need to keep the ultimate goal vibrant in our minds, while simultaneously not ignoring our present or temporary needs.
Shri Hanuman utilized his intelligence and tactfulness in every situation. He spoke very wisely - adapting his manner according to different circumstances.

We should use our foresight in every situation. It is interesting and inspiring how Shri Hanuman befriended and built a bond of brotherhood with Vibhishana in an unknown place like Lanka. Vibhishana provided all the information about Mother Sita, allowing Shri Hanuman to reach his destination.

We should not lose hope or patience in any situation.

With firm faith in the Lord, in the power of prayer, and in deep love, one can overcome all hurdles and achieve success.

In every situation we should always remember God's presence and live lives of gratitude.
