Leaving the body peacefully - the greatest gift anybody can have

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

From my experience I tell you – leaving the body peacefully is the greatest gift anybody can have. If you have got that gift, you achieved whatever has to be achieved. You have lived your life; nothing else needs to be achieved. If you have not achieved that, nothing is worth achieving.

After seeing this second death, I started seriously contemplating - how this can be reproduced? Or, how can we help people to leave consciously? And as I was telling you, I cannot go and stand in all the ICUs. That’s impossible.

And one more thing, energy is not bound by space or time. Energy is beyond time and space. All we need is a set-top-box, that’s all. See, if you have a set-top-box in your house, you can just tune your TV to some channel. If you tune to BBC, you will see BBC. If you tune to CNN, you will see CNN. Whatever channel you tune you can see that program. Same way, at the time of leaving the body if you can tune yourself to consciousness, if you can tune yourself to thoughtless awareness, conscious experience, simply you will see your life is a conscious experience. You will be able to cross this ocean of samsara or this ocean of samskara, ocean of all these 7 layers, beautifully and peacefully.

We are going to work with that formula in this program. Please understand, if you work with the theory of gravity, you can always understand completely what Newton experienced. Same way, work with this formula, you can simply experience what he experienced. What has happened in my consciousness can happen in your consciousness also. All you need to do is, work with this formula intensely. Just go with this formula as intensely as possible. Nothing else needs to be done.

Going beyond samskaras - engraved memories

Another important question, 'Master, leave about dying, what about living?' Now comes the important question, please understand – as of now, all the 7 layers are not so clear as you think. It is like 7 coats that you are having. If you are wearing the 7 coats properly, you can remove them whenever you want and hang it on the wall. As of now, you are not wearing these 7 coats properly. The first coat button is hooked with the seventh coat. And the third coat is put with the first coat. The first coat third button is taken and put with the fourth coat. You see, if you can remove the coat whenever you want, it is a coat. If you can’t remove, it is not a coat, it is bondage.

If you have had a single conscious experience, you will not be continuously tortured, pulled and pushed by your samskaras or engraved memories. Your whole life if you see, you will be able to understand. See your whole life with a little intelligence, you will be able to understand, really you don’t live. Only your engrams are living. Only your samskaras are living. For example, suppose you have created a samskara that in the morning at 7 o’clock you need coffee. The moment it becomes 7 o’clock, you don’t have to even see the watch, from inside the bell will go, ‘Coffee’! For example, morning 9 o’clock you will start worrying about your office. Evening 6 o’clock you will start worrying about your house. Night 8 o’clock you will start worrying about your kid’s education. If this becomes a routine, even on Sunday you will start worrying about your office, at 9 o’clock. Even if you don’t have to go to office, you will start worrying about this. Suddenly you will remind yourself – no, no, no today is Sunday don’t bother we don’t have to go to office. Even then you will have that same low mood. You will have the same low mood. Even your worry, your mind, is nothing but recorded samskara.

Never think you are living. Just your samskara are living. Your samskara are living. Samskara are recorded in all the 7 layers. Only when you cleanse your samskara – your mental habit – you will start living.

Just the samskaras are living your life. And if you watch a little deeply, if you observe a little deeply you will understand, even your worries are recorded engrams.

For example, in the morning at 9 o'clock you will start worrying about your office. Evening 6 o'clock you will start worrying about your house. Night 8 o'clock you will start worrying about your kid's education. If this becomes a routine, even on Sunday you will start worrying about your office, at 9 o'clock. How many of you have experienced this?

Even if you don't have to go to office, you will start worrying about this. Suddenly you will remind yourself, 'No; today is Sunday. Don't bother; we don't have to go to office.' Even then you will have that same low mood. You will have the same low mood. Even your worry, your mind, is nothing but recorded samskaras. Never think you are living. Just your samskaras are living. Your samskaras are living. Samskaras are recorded in all the 7 layers. Only when you cleanse your samskaras, your mental habits, you will start living.

When you can't sit with yourself, you miss a major dimension of your life. Your samskaras are only living, you are not living. Your engrams are only living, you are not living. That is the reason you can't sit with yourself. You can't sit with yourself, continuously you have to do something. When you go and sit in front of the TV, in 15 minutes you will go around in a circle. We can't sit with ourselves because of these engrams.

These 4 days, all we are going to do is only one thing. Work intensely and cleanse the samskaras and have the conscious experience. At least one glimpse of thoughtless awareness. One glimpse of thoughtless awareness. I request all of you, please put your complete effort. Have one glimpse of conscious awareness, nothing else. As of now, whatever you think as 4D will lose its value. Your whole being, the root, will be shaken the moment you move from the physical layer. It is almost like you are building your own resort there, in the inner world.

The way in which you enjoy your whole life only will decide how your last moment will be. One more important thing, please understand – it is very shocking information, but truth. Only after seeing the first death I was able to experience this: even your paapa (sin) or punya (merit) doesn't come with you. Please understand, even your sin or merit doesn't come with you. Don't think your sin or merit comes with you. Don't think if you do some charity here, if you give some money to some temple and get a receipt here, there you will be given a VIP pass.

Then the next question comes – 'Then, can I do any sin?' Understand, if somebody commits 100 murders, that attitude of doing murder goes with him. The exact number does not go with him, the attitude goes with him. And one more thing, never think you commit sins and then go to hell. You commit sins because you are in hell. A person who is happy will never be violent. If you are happy, will you torture others? If you are happy, will you be violent? Actually, if your mood is nice even if your staff or employee does a mistake what you will say? Alright, leave it! If your mood is not alright, even if they do a small mistake what do you do? You jump and bite them!

Never think you will do sin and go to hell, you do sin because you are in hell. Same way, never think you will do good things and reach heaven. You do good things because you are in heaven. The mind setup which you have when doing an activity is what is called hell or heaven. When you do a wrong thing, what mental set up you have, that suffering only is hell. When you do a right thing, what mental setup you have, that is only heaven. So, don't think your sins or merit comes with you. Only one thing comes with you – the conscious experience.

The whole humanity can be categorized into just two categories: people who had conscious experience when they were living and people who did not have conscious experience, that’s all! All other concepts of hell and heaven are just beautiful stories. Please be very clear – there is no hell or heaven as you understand.

No paapa or punya comes with you. If at all you can carry, you can carry only one thing in your life and that is this conscious experience. Either you can become enlightened or you can come down according to your choice. If you don’t have that conscious experience, nothing is going to come with you. Not only the outwardly properties, even your sins and merits are not going to come with you.

Please be very clear – there are many people who are thinking, ‘If I give this much money to that temple, that God will be standing there to take care of me.’ or ‘If I give this to that temple that God will be standing there, waiting there with a special VIP pass. Nothing like that will happen. People are thinking, if I give this much of money to Venkateshwara Swamy, he will send a special flight from Vaikuntha.

There is a beautiful story in the Upanishad, called Jadabharatha story. One rishi called Jadabharatha, somehow he was attached to a deer. From morning till night he was spending his time taking care of that deer. And when he was dying, he was not able to forget that poor animal. He started worrying about that animal. ‘Oh! Who will take care of the animal? What will happen to it after my death?’ He started worrying about all these things, because he was continuously bothering about that deer. When he died, in the next janma, he became a deer. Beautifully the shloka says, what ever you think in the antima kaala, in the last moment, you become that!

Some people think very cleverly, ‘Whole life let me live the way I want, in the last moment I will tell Hare-Rama Hare-Krishna or Govinda-Shiva.’ Please be very clear – what you thought in your whole life only will come up when you leave the body. Don’t think at that moment you can play the game. Actually, when you leave the body, your whole system will be in such an agony, that 80 or 90 years of your life will run in fast-forward. The whole thing will be seen in fast-forward. Whatever experience you had intensely, or what ever you enjoyed intensely, that only will come up in multi-colour. All the other things will run as black and white.

If you have lived throughout your life only eating, naturally that will come up and stand. What will you decide? After all I am going to eat, let me take pig janma. Why to take some other body? And if you spend your whole life sleeping you will decide, why unnecessarily take human body and go to office and all, let us take ‘buffalo birth.’

Actually, based on the way in which you enjoy your whole life only you decide in the last moment. In the last moment, the whole thing will come up in fast-forward. What you enjoyed deeply, what is the experience that happened in your life intensely, that will come up, like a pop-up. That will come up and appear in multi-colour. All other things will be black and white, it will be in the background. So, naturally, based on what comes up only you will decide what birth to take. If you had a single conscious experience, means, thoughtless awareness in your life, naturally when you leave your body that will come up. That is the strongest experience anybody can have.

Please understand, thoughtless awareness is the strongest experience you can have in your life. All other three are only shallow. All other three are only shallow. Thoughtless awareness is the strongest experience you can have in your life. Even for a single moment if you had that experience, that is enough. Naturally, when you leave the body that will come up. That will come up and simply you will move into the light. That will act as a light and you will be able to move into the consciousness.

Whether it is accident or suicide, if you have not had conscious experience before your death, please be very clear, you have to wait to get next body. For example, when you came down, when you took this body you decided to live in this body for 90 years and suppose you committed suicide in 60 years. Next 30 years you have to struggle, waiting for the next body. They will not have the next body. If it is a natural death, then there is no problem. Of course, disease is natural death. Murder and suicide, these two, they have to wait with a lot of suffering.

Please be very clear – never contemplate suicide. What for do you think we contemplate about suicide? Because this life becomes a torture, a suffering. But if you commit suicide, only then you will understand, it will be a much worse torture. Never ever contemplate suicide. It will be a much worse torture.

One important thing – it is like you will have sweets in front of you but you don’t have a tongue to taste or hand to take it and put it into your mouth. How much of suffering it will be! Same way, the whole world will be in front of you but you will not have the body to enjoy it. That is why never contemplate about suicide. Never think of suicide.

Now the latest research, beautiful research – if a mother dies at a very young age that child is prone to paralysis attack. If the mother dies at a very young age, that child is prone to paralysis attack. Because, that part of the energy that is given by the mother is not nourished. It is not nourished by her presence, by her nearness. That is why in our ancient system, till the age of 14 kids were kept always in our nearness. They should sleep in your lap. Till the age of 14 you should hug the kids, they should sleep in your lap they should be always around you. Never put them in boarding school. Please be very clear, if you put the kids in a residential school before the age of 14, get ready to go to old age home. They will put you in old age home. If you put them in boarding school before the age of 14, they will put you in old age home. No other way because there will be no relationship. They will put you in old age home. You need to give your nearness to them.

Actually, if the father or mother dies, the part that is donated to you by them, that part will also face the depression. So, to give energy to that part only you chant the mantra. It is actually not for them, it is for you. Within three kshana of the death, the person takes another body. Please be very clear, within three kshana. And one more important thing you should understand, kshana does not mean ‘second’. Kshana does not mean ‘a second’. Kshana means, in Vedic mathematics or Vedic time-set-up, the gap between one thought and the other thought. If you have lived a peaceful life, your kshana can be even two months. If you have lived a restless life, your kshana will be a microsecond. If you have lived a restless life hurrying, worrying, your kshana will be a microsecond. If you have lived a peaceful life, a relaxed, especially a conscious life, if your life was with a conscious experience, your kshana will be even 3-4 months. It can be extended to even one year.

Chronological time and psychological time There are two things – chronological time and psychological time. Understand, there are two things, chronological time and psychological time. If you are sitting with somebody whom you really love or who cares for you or your friend, your close friend, even if you sit for 3-4 hours, you will not know how time has passed. And if you are sitting with somebody who is boring, torturing, after every 5 minutes what will you do? You will see the watch. Still time is not moving. You will feel really bored.

If the number of thoughts is too much you will feel time is not moving. Your kshana will be a microsecond. If the number of thoughts is less, you will have, you will feel, ‘Oh! Time is running.’ And your kshana will be more than 2-3 hours. That is why we always tell, if the number of thoughts is less, the person is in heaven. See, for devatas (heavenly beings), our whole one-year is one day for them. Have you heard this? Our whole one-year is one day, why? Number of thoughts is less. So, they don’t even know how the time is running.

That is why Nataraja will have only 6 abhishekams in a year. He is worshipped by devas. See, usually we do 6 poojas per day, for Nataraja only 6 poojas per year. Because, the calendar of devatas is totally different. The number of thoughts for them is less, they are in heaven. So, naturally their kshana is more. This concept of kshana should be understood, this idea of how our one year is only one day for devatas. The people who are stuck in the sixth layer, the spiritual body, they are called devatas. That space only is called heaven.

You choose your body, your birth

If you have lived restless, continuously worrying, bothering life, the moment you leave the body you will feel so restless; within 3 kshana you will take the next body. You cannot be without body because you are so dependent on the body.

See, all along your 10 pillars are in the outer space. So, naturally you are dependent on the body. You can’t be without body. What will you do? You will run to take another body. You will not even be bothered which train is coming, which side it is going, which platform, nothing, simply you will jump into it and take another body. If you have lived a simple life, peaceful life, if you have had one glimpse of consciousness, single glimpse of this turiya state, when you leave the body you will leave beautifully and you will have a VIP lounge there.

You will not be pushed and pulled by desires, guilt and painful experiences of your life. You will not be pushed and pulled; you will not be kicked this side and that side. You will not be forced to take one more body. You can have a beautiful relaxed way of living. You can wait and decide whether to take another one body or to wait. It will all be under your choice. All you need to do is one conscious glimpse.

NSP - The formula to reproduce the conscious experience

After seeing this second death, I started seriously contemplating how this can be reproduced. Or, how can we help people to leave consciously? Energy is not bound by space or time. Energy is beyond time and space. All we need is a set-top-box, that's all. See, if you have a set-top-box in your house, you can just tune your TV to some channel. If you tune to BBC, you will see BBC. If you tune to CNN, you will see CNN. Whatever channel you tune you can see that program. Same way, at the time of leaving the body if you can tune yourself to consciousness, if you can tune yourself to thoughtless awareness, conscious experience, simply you will see your life is a conscious experience.

You will be able to cross this ocean of samsara or this ocean of samskara, ocean of all these 7 layers, beautifully and peacefully.

The moment I got this understanding, like a lump, like a conscious ball something landed in me. A formula happened in my consciousness. This formula only I call the Nithyananda Spurana Program. These 4 days we are going to work with that formula. Please understand, if you work with the theory of gravity, you can always understand completely what Newton experienced. Same way, work with this formula, you can simply experience what I experienced.

What has happened in my consciousness can happen in your consciousness also. All you need to do is, work with this formula intensely. Just go with this formula as intensely as possible. Nothing else needs to be done.

Conscious experience is all you can take with you when you die

As of now, whatever you think as 4D will lose its value. Your whole being, the root, will be shaken the moment you move from the physical layer. Please understand, I am not telling any story, I am telling history which is going to happen in your life. The root itself will be shaken. If you have a single conscious glimpse, thoughtless awareness, you will have some space in which you can rest when all these things are taken away from you. It is almost like you are building your own resort there, in the inner world.

Can you enjoy your bank balance in your dream? No! In the dream state nothing is valuable. When you are here, dream is not valuable. When you move away from the physical body, whatever you think as you will become valueless. So, now itself create wealth that will come with you forever.

Throughout the house, all your relatives will stand and weep when you die. Till the road, your wife will come and stand and weep. Till the burial ground your son will come to do the last rites and rituals. Who will come till the end? Nobody. Nobody can come. Only the conscious glimpse can come with you. This will be if you had a conscious experience of thoughtless awareness when you are living, means, for a moment you learn to live without body and mind.

If you have learnt to live without body and mind for a moment, that is what is thoughtless awareness. You will have the same thoughtless awareness at the time of leaving the body also. So, already you have mastered the art of living with body and mind. So, naturally you will not be suffering. Whatever is taken away from you will not be you. You will have your inner space safe. It will not be with suffering. As of now you don't have inner space. As of now, all we think as 'we' is based on the outer space. That is the reason I request you, work intensely these 4 days. Throw away the outer space. Forget about the outer space for the next 4 days. All your profession, your life, your regular work, your everything.

And all of you have decided to be here for 4 days, am I right? When you have decided to be here for 4 days physically, why not mentally also?

Be in the present

Ramakrishna says beautifully, if you put a little curd into milk and keep it in a corner for 2-3 hours, it will become curd. Then you churn or shake or do whatever you want. You will have only butter, nothing wrong will happen. But immediately after putting curd if you keep on churning, you will never have curd. The curd will never happen. So, now understand: these 4 days you need to keep yourself away so that the curd can happen. Once the curd has happened, you can go into the world. Whatever can be done, nothing will shake you. But in these 4 days when the process is happening, please cooperate. We will be working here intensely, please, if you go out and pick up something.

Even if you get some information, whether it is good or bad from your office, the whole office mental setup will come back. And in just 10 minutes you will come down and become just a normal person, as you are now. For example, even if you see a single hoarding in a street that is enough to create a chain of thoughts. So, please understand, in the next 4 days, even though it is a little difficult, try to avoid cell phone conversations, try to avoid even the mental chatter, the mental thoughts about your office, house.

Whenever you become aware, bring back your mind and consciousness to your present – you can watch your breath or you can feel your whole body. Continuously come back to the present moment, just for these 4 days.

Falling into conscious state with anesthesia

Around the world thousands have worked with this formula and really they are successful. And one more thing I will tell you, it is a truth which I discovered after working with this formula with thousands of people. Not only at the time of leaving the body you become conscious, if you are successful in the NSP, if you have a conscious glimpse, not only at the time of leaving the body, even if you are given anesthesia for some surgery, you will enter into the conscious state.

After NSP, for some reason some people went to hospital for minor surgeries, when they were given anesthesia automatically they fell into the conscious state. Full anesthesia, even with full anesthesia they fell into the conscious state. They say, 'We didn't have pain, but are seeing clearly what is happening. We are aware of the whole thing. And we are able to experience very clearly the whole thing.' Not with one or two persons, hundreds of experiences I am hearing.

And even if you feel giddy and fall, you will not enter into the darkness, which you usually enter, the unconsciousness. You will enter into light. You can fall and see by yourself! After the NSP, try to fall and see by yourself.

Understand, this is not the experience of one or two persons. Hundreds of people experienced the same thing. One devotee from Mysore, she had anesthesia, again she says, ‘I was completely conscious.’ Even a single conscious glimpse, single thoughtless awareness can change you whole way of thinking and living, can change the whole way of your life.

Diseases rooted in mental setup

All your major diseases are rooted in the mental set up. Please be very clear, all your major diseases are rooted in mental set up. If you don’t change the mental set up and just the healing is done, what will happen? You will get the same disease in 10 days and come back. As long as you have a knee, you will have knee pain. When you have a conscious glimpse no karma can touch you. Your frequency becomes much more than the frequency of karma. See, karma can work on you as long as you have thoughts. In conscious awareness you go beyond thoughts. So, naturally you will start ruling karma.

Meditation is like exposing your film directly to sun…expose your consciousness

That is why they say, meditation is like exposing your film directly to sun. For one moment, for one second if the camera shutter opens whatever is in front of the camera will be recorded in the film. If the shutter is completely open what will happen? If the sun’s rays directly fall on the film what will happen? Whatever is recorded will be erased.

Now, when you took birth, for one moment the camera shutter opened, the life entered into your body. So, whatever was there in the scene it is recorded. Means, whatever grahas (planets) were there at that moment is recorded. That is why the birth time is very important. Based on that only your consciousness functions.

Now, consciously I am keeping the shutter open for quite a bit of time. So, naturally whatever is recorded, what will happen to that? It will be erased. That is why, when you take birth, for one moment the shutter opens, that is a birth. When you are initiated, the shutter is completely open once more. Naturally the sun rays enter and all your karma are wiped. That is why when you are initiated you are called dvija – you take the second life, a new life. And the man who operates your camera holds the shutter open for one more second is called Guru. He is the person who is called Guru.

Prarabdha karma Be very clear: Only when the mind is like a fertile land, the seeds of karma will sprout.

The quality of soil decides what happens to the seed. If the soil is the hard ground, if you put a seed in it what will happen? It will die.

If the soil is ploughed and fertile, if you put in a seed, it will sprout.

The unclutched mind is like the hard ground. The seed of any karma you put in it cannot sprout, it will die.

Please understand prarabdha is also nothing but your thought. Even prarabdha, for it to act on you, you need to cooperate. It is like always the TV waves are there, relay is happening. Only when you tune in you will see the program. If you don't tune your TV, you will not see the program. Same way, if you have the conscious glimpse, you will not tune in yourself to the prarabdha. You will never have the experience.

Conscious awareness is the only way to escape from any karma. Consciousness is that which erases the samskara.

Sanjita karma is like a big bank balance, and prarabdha karma is one which you brought. You see, files which are in the archives is the sanjita karma, the files which are on your table is prarabdha. The files which are in the archives is the sanjita karma. The files which are on your table is prarabdha, that's all. But you can escape from both, you can alter both, you can handle both if you have had a conscious experience.

You choose your next birth based on your 'best' experiences in this birth

When you leave the body you get all the intelligence, and you decide what type of body you want to take based on your past life. From the past life file you see the whole file, 'What is the best experience that I wanted to have in my life?' And then you refer your past life, what all experiences you have had in your life. Whatever you think as best, to repeat the same type of experience what type of place is good? What type of father and mother are needed? Which country is good? You decide and you go and take birth, that's all.

Even poverty is a conscious choice

Even poverty is a conscious choice! Please understand, poverty is a conscious choice. It is very difficult to understand but it is the truth. When you don't want to take the responsibility of having money, you choose to be in poverty. Because having money means lot of responsibility, you need to protect. You are always in a danger, anytime you can be harassed. You can be kidnapped, they can take away from you. There are all these risks. Even this poverty is a conscious choice.

Anubhava versus anubhooti

Experience does not mean the number of incidents that happened in your life, the number of lessons you learnt from that incident.

A small example: there are people who touch the gas fire and say 'Oh! Gas fire will burn.' Then they will touch the match stick fire, 'Oh! Match stick fire will burn.' Then they will touch the cigarette fire, 'Oh! Cigarette fire will burn.' Then they will touch the charcoal fire, 'Oh! Charcoal fire will burn.' Then they will touch the fire from wood, 'Oh! Fire from wood will burn.’ By the time they touch all the fires and understand that all fires will burn, their body will be ready to be burnt! This is called anubhava - one kind of learning. One by one by one by one they will learn. This is called anubhava. Second thing, this is called anubhooti. The moment you touch the first fire, you will understand the meaning that all fire will burn. This is called anubhooti.

There are two kinds of persons – one who touch every kind of fire and then realize finally that all fire will burn. By the time they realize, they will be ready to go to the burning ghat. They will be ready to be burnt. For the other kind of people, the first fire itself will give them the intelligence that all fire will burn. You see, there are people who think, when they are studying, ‘If I am in college, my life will be very joyful.’ When they are in college, they think, ‘If I get a job I will be independent, I will have enough money, I will be jolly.’ When they are having the job, they think, ‘If I am married I will have a beautiful life, it will be joyful.’ Then they think, ‘If I have kids then life will be ecstasy.’ Then, after kids, ‘Oh! If they grow and become independent I will have no responsibility and life will be happy.’

After every desire, you understand that no desire is going to give you happiness. For some people, when the first desire is fulfilled but has not given joy, immediately they understand, all desires are going to burn. They are only called people who had anubhooti. Some people will touch all fires and understand that all fires will burn.

There is another group. They will see somebody touching the fire and getting burnt, immediately they will understand, ‘Oh God! It is going to burn’ and they will escape. They are only called ‘Paramahamsa’.

It is the individual’s devotion. That only makes the person to have the vision, darshan and all those things. This is like the etheric body darshan. If they are intensely devoted, the etheric body can appear wherever it wants. The etheric body has no space or time. It automatically appears and heals people.
