Choosing An Enlightened Physiology

When you choose the next body, you will sit and try to recall the best physiological structure that you have seen in your entire life. You will analyze the best physiological structure possible and naturally, the enlightened physiology is the best! Human beings are the best physiological structures as of now. And naturally, out of whatever human structures you collected in your lifetime, the best will be the enlightened physiology. It is the physiology that does not bother much about food, eating, the outer world; that which is established in bliss and ecstasy. You see all this, and naturally you say, 'O God! This seems to be a very strong and beautiful physiological structure. Let me choose to work for this.'

Either you may choose the enlightened physiology for yourself, or you may choose to live around that kind of an enlightened being, to be in the same space as that being. But your next decision, the decision of your next birth, will be very strongly towards enlightened physiology. So Ramakrishna's words are true. Even casually seeing an enlightened master is a blessing. At face value, it may sound egoistic. Only if you look inside logically and understand, you will know that it is a blessing. When I read this before enlightenment, it looked egoistic. When I got enlightened, I clearly understood what it was! Either you are on this side of the game, or on that side of the game. But blessed are those who understand the real inside view of this game, who understand the ideas or truths underlying the game.
