You may think, how can living conflict-free make you young forever?
What is ageing after all? Look deeply into this idea of time and the idea of ageing. Understand the concept of time in the Vedic tradition. Time is matter, just like the chair on which you are sitting. The chair on which you are sitting can be moved wherever you want. You can either sit on it, sit on the ground, or use it as you want.
Same way, time is matter. See, your body is made out of bio-memories: thoughts and engraved memories or engrams, which inspire you and push you into action. These two are the base material for your body. Thoughts are like random fishes jumping in your mind. The thoughts which you pick up again and again to work become engraved memories. These two are the base material for your body.
The gap between one thought and the next thought is kshana, one unit of time in the Vedic tradition. When you pick up more and more thoughts and try to make them into reality, that is where the conflict starts. As long as there are only thoughts, there is no ageing. Only when the engrams hit the thoughts, or the thoughts hit the engrams, the ageing starts happening in your body. Ageing starts happening when there is a fight between the engrams and thoughts. Only the fight between the thoughts and the engrams in your muscles is responsible for ageing.
Ageing is directly related to your inner space. The idea which you carry about you in your inner space directly reflects on your body. Time itself has no power over your consciousness. But your inner space, which consciousness is also part of, struggles constantly with the fear of insecurity, of ageing, and getting destroyed or being lost.
Here is a simple, straight process for unclutching from thoughts. Whenever a thought rises in you, without supporting it, encouraging it, entertaining it or being entertained by it, simply relax from it. If you start relaxing from the thoughts which are rising, you will experience freedom from the conflict between your thoughts and engrams. When there are less thoughts in your inner space, you will slow down the ageing process.
