The waking world vs dream world🔗

Now, when we are in this physical layer, this whole world is seen as 4D. We experience this world as 4D, in multi-colour. When we are in the dream world, we experience that as 4D. When we are here, dream becomes black and white, and this becomes 4D. When we are there, dream becomes 4D and this world becomes black and white.

Same way, when we move away from this physical layer to the pranic layer, this whole world will become black and white. What for did we work? What all did we think as a base for our life? You see, we invest in our personality; we build our personality based on a few pillars. There are a few pillars, foundations on which we build our personality - money, name and fame, relationships and pride that I have a big community support. These are the few pillars on which we create our personality.

If somebody asks you, ‘Who are you?’ What will you say? ‘I am an engineer’, ‘I am a doctor’, ‘I am a lawyer’. Or you will tell, ‘I am the owner of 4 houses’. Or ‘I am such and such a person’s husband or wife’, or I am her husband, or somebody’s son, somebody’s daughter, somebody’s wife. All these things, all these ideas we create, our personality is built on these few foundations.

When we move from the physical body, all these foundations will be completely shaken. We can’t sign in our cheque any more. Our signature is not accepted. We can’t sign our cheque. Our bank balance is no more related to us. We can’t handle our bank balance. And our car will not be useful to us. At the most only the ambulance will be useful. And our house will not be useful to us. We can’t even relate with our relatives, we can’t talk to them. If we try, they will run away. Whatever is the foundation for our being, the whole foundation will be shaken. When the foundation is shaken, naturally we don’t have anything to hold.

Understand this one thing, if we suddenly hear some loss in our business, we will feel that our whole body is suffering. The suffering will not be in one portion, the whole body will be suffering. It is almost like our being is crushed. We can see in our life, if we just sit in our office and worry about something, we don’t have to do any work, just sit and worry and we will have shoulder pain. If we just sit and worry for 10 minutes, what will happen? We will have shoulder pain.

When something moves away from us, our whole body suffers. When we move from the physical body, the same suffering starts happening. Whatever we thought as a foundation for our life, the whole thing is shaken.

As of now, this whole world will appear in 4D. All this spirituality, meditation, growing the inner being, consciousness, all these will appear black and white. That is why, when I call people for meditation, they tell me, ‘I don’t have time to meditate.’ Never say ‘I don’t have time to meditate.’ Be very clear to yourself and say, ‘I don’t feel that it is that much important.’ If we say, ‘I don’t think meditation is so important’ then we are honest. But never say ‘I don’t have time.’ Everybody has got the same 24 hours. It is not that the few who are meditating are jobless. It is just a question of priority, what we want in our life.

As of now, this world will appear in 4 dimensions, in multi-colour. That is the reason all this spirituality or the consciousness, spiritual experience, all these will appear in two colours. But, when we move away from the physical body, whatever we think, whatever we thought as 4D everything will totally disappear, it will be shaken. That time, we will not have any base. Or we will not have any space, where we can rest. That is the reason always death is suffering. At that moment, if we can have a conscious glimpse, or consciousness, we can consciously enter into death.

If we understand this completely, whatever we think as 4D will not be with us. Our personality will not be built on this 4D. When we are living itself we will create at least one foundation or pillar in the other dimension of spirituality. See, now we are in 2 dimensions, this world and the other is spirituality.

Now, if our being has got 10 pillars, all the 10 pillars are based on this world and this 4D. Not a single pillar is based on consciousness or the inner space. Our whole personality is built only based on the outer space - our name, our fame, what society speaks about us.

Our complete personality is structured only based on what society speaks about us. If everybody speaks that we are great, what do we think? We think, ‘I am a great person.’ If everybody says, ‘You are useless’, what do we start doing? We start getting depressed.

Not even a single pillar of our building is based on spirituality. The whole thing is based on outer space. Whole thing is based on our wealth, our name and fame, our social setup, our relationships, our family, our friends. That is the reason, when those pillars are shaken, we start suffering terribly. If we have only one pillar in the consciousness, we will not have suffering.

That is what the Gita says, what comes and stands in our mind at the time of leaving the body only will decide about our next birth or enlightenment. If we have only one pillar on the consciousness, naturally, we will not have the suffering when we leave the body. All the 9 pillars will become black and white. Even if the other nine pillars become black and white, the one pillar will be there to guide us. That one pillar will be there in the multi colour – 4D.

As of now, nothing exists. As of now, our whole personality is based on outer space. All our pillars are in this 4D. There is no inner space. That is why, like a ball, people can kick us from outer space. Anybody can just throw one word towards us, that’s all, we are depressed. If somebody says we are mad, we shout at them and prove that we are mad! A single word is enough to make us mad. Nothing much is necessary. We see the street dogs - just if we throw one stone at the dog, it is enough to disturb that dog.

We are in no way better than street dogs. Anybody throwing one word on us is enough; we are already out because our whole personality is built on outer space. In the inner space we don’t have strength. One more thing, as of now the inner space looks black and white. That is why we never give importance. But when we move from the body, the inner space will become 4D, the outer space will become black and white. Even if there is a single pillar in our inner space, naturally we will not have any suffering at the time of leaving the body. We will leave the body beautifully.

Vivekananda says beautifully, even if we have only one single thoughtless awareness experience, means, single conscious experience in our life, that is enough. At the time of leaving the body it will come up and we will leave our body peacefully. We will just have awareness without thoughts.

The idea ‘I’ exists in all of us. In deep sleep do you have that? No. Same way almost every one of us has thoughts. In deep sleep do we have thoughts? No. There are two states of mind and two states of being. These two criss-cross each other and create four states of being in which we exist. First is to be with I, be with thoughts; this is what we say is the waking state. In Sanskrit we call it jagrat state, jagratavastha, waking state.

The next, there will be thoughts, but there will not be ‘I’. That is what we call dream state. You may ask how? How is it in dream we don’t have ‘I’?

See, in the dream, the frequency of thoughts is more than the frequency of ‘I’ consciousness. That is why you are not able to control your dreams. Now, if you want you can control your thoughts. You can suppress them, alter them, create in a different way, you can do whatever you want, because the frequency of ‘I’ is more than the frequency of thoughts.

In the dream state, the frequency of thoughts is more; that is why they just flow. You can’t do anything about it. You can’t control your dreams. If at all we have the opportunity to dream what we want, we know what type of dreams we will be having. Dreams are not under our control because the frequency of thoughts is more than the frequency of ‘I’. Dream state is when you don’t have ‘I’ but you have only thoughts.

Third, neither you have ‘I’ nor you have thoughts. That is deep sleep, sound sleep.

There is a fourth state that we never experience. There, we will be having ‘I’ but not having any thoughts. This is what we call turiya or meditation or samadhi or atmajnana, nirvana, self realization, experience, what ever you want you can name it. This is what we call samadhi. This is the state where you have ‘I’ consciousness but no thoughts. This is what I say ‘thoughtless awareness’ or ‘consciousness’. Even one glimpse of this state is enough, even one experience of this state is enough, when you leave your body you will have your result, you will have your lounge there!

As of now, this turiya state or samadhi state or consciousness, all these things will look like black and white. We will not give that much importance to all these things. It will be very difficult to surrender to this turiya state. It will be very difficult to work for this consciousness as of now, because it appears to us as black and white.

Even if you understand it intellectually it is only a faith. You must be thinking, ‘Who knows what the truth is? This Master must be telling something to do his business!’ See, these are all usual things. I always tell people, it is not so easy to understand all these things. It is not so easy to surrender. It is very difficult to surrender, as of now.

The moment you hear the words your consciousness or surrender or samadhi or meditation and all those things, immediately what do you think? ‘It is all a very difficult thing.’ And not only that, we will always have the fear, ‘You may now tell me to surrender, tomorrow you may take away my property or you may take away my husband or you may take away my wife. You may take away my kids. Or, I myself may get inspired and go behind him.’ There are so many doubts; there are so many troubles, so many problems.

It is very difficult to trust somebody, it is very difficult to enter into this fourth state or very difficult to enter even close to it. It is very difficult because now all these things are only in two colours – black and white. But when you leave the body, what ever you thought as 4 colour – 4D, it will become completely black and white.

Now let us see how the second death happened so peacefully. Now the statement which I am making is a little difficult to understand but again I have no other way, because truth has to be explained. Truth has to be expressed. Only then you will be able to enter into the formula. This is the way the formula has happened to the person. When the second death was happening, the moment the person left the first layer body, because an enlightened being was standing there, because of his presence, somehow he was able to catch a glimpse of that consciousness. He was able to catch my presence.

At this time, I had become enlightened. But at the first death, I was not enlightened, I was doing my tapas. I was wandering all over India. The second death, at that time already I had my enlightenment. Somehow because of that he was able to catch a glimpse of consciousness. The moment he left the first layer body, he was able to feel me or experience me. The moment he started experiencing me simply his whole consciousness was centered on me.

See, usually what are the things that stop you from surrendering to the Master? Your bank balance, your house, your car, your relationship, your wife, your own insecurity about your life. If I surrender what will happen, I may start becoming a servant for him. There are so many other things.

All these things are only stopping you from surrendering or entering into the consciousness. Surrendering and entering into the consciousness, all these are one and the same. But for that person all these things have already become valueless. When he has left the first level body, naturally all these things have become already valueless. So, whatever is catching or pulling, whatever strings are pulling him down are already cut, disconnected.

As long as you think the outer world is worthy, it has got value, you will have the fear that somebody may take it away, somebody may snatch it from you. As long as you think whatever you collected in your life is valuable you will have tremendous fear. That is why I tell people, as long as you think these things are valuable, you will never be able to experience fearlessness. There will be continuous fear. The more you have more the fear. Continuously your being will be shaken. Every moment you will be waiting afraid what will happen. But at that moment, whatever can be taken away from that person has been taken away. Now there is nothing to lose. Trusting the Master is very easy at that moment.

Somehow, fortunately he had my presence there. Simply he could see, when he understood that all the other things are valueless, when the physical body things were taken away from him, his whole consciousness without any doubt, without any difficulty, was centered on me. Naturally, when he was centered on the enlightened being or conscious being, he simply dissolved into the enlightenment without any suffering.

What ever is stopping you now will not stop you at that time. At that time you don't have to practice renunciation, everything will be taken away from you by force. See, as long you have a choice only you have to practice this vairagya, renunciation, daana, dharma all these things. That time you don’t have to practice all these vairagya, renunciation because everything will be taken away from you. What is there to practice? You see, even to renounce you don’t have anything.

So, there is nothing that can stop you from entering into the enlightenment experience. There is nothing that can stop you from entering into the conscious experience. But only one thing you need, when you leave the body, you need a conscious being around you. Without that, it is not possible. Now what to do? I can’t go and stand in all the ICUs and ask people ‘Hey, when will you die? When will you die?’
