HOW YOU COME BACK

Again and again
If you do worship all your life and for many lives, unless you do it with consciousness, it will not help in any way. Whatever you do in the outer world is of no help. Only working inside, only when you meditate, it will help you. You will not understand it now. Only when you pass that second layer at the time of death, you start understanding. When I tell you to drop smoking, you drop me instead. Now I am two-color for you, but when you leave the body I will become four-color. What you missed, you will understand only then. The pain will be so intense that the spirit determines to find a similar Guru, but since you go into coma at the time of death, you forget. You go through the birth cycle again and again, till finally the intensity is so strong that the spirit remembers. Just to remember, some spirits go into a body that incurs serious


illness! The disease is a creation to find me, a blessing. A devotee suffering from psoriasis wrote to me: don't heal me so quickly. Let me be touched by you more often.
The great ancient Tamil poet Appar sings to God: let me suffer till I am enlightened so that I have cause to remember You. So does Kunti pray in the great Indian epic Mahabharata to Lord Krishna: let me suffer so that I can forever pray to You.

HOW THEY KNOW
Masters and prana shakti
Prana is the life force, the energy itself. Constantly, the air which goes in, leaves the prana inside, and comes out. Constantly, we take prana through air. From the cosmos, we take prana through air.
One more thing: as long as the incoming breath brings in prana and goes out empty, that is, it comes as prana shakti (life giving energy) and goes out as an empty vehicle, your life will be strengthened. If the reverse starts happening, that is, if it comes with less prana and goes out with more prana shakti, the person can sense that his death is nearing or he is going towards the death.
That is how all the great Masters who can sense the prana shakti can tell about their death. They will be able to predict their death. Before six months of their passing away, they will be able to see very clearly the prana moving out of their body. Just empty air will enter but when it goes out, it will go with the prana.

YESTER YEARS' TRADITION
Science of enlightenment

In early years, if somebody dies in the house, the priest will come and chant the Upanishad called Katopanishad which is the science of enlightenment. Even in that atmosphere, they advised the people: don't think only he has died. You are also going to die. Learn the science now itself! That is the message of that Upanishad. The Upanishad does no word of consoling. The priest will not come and console. He won't praise the person who is dead. In the Indian last rites tradition, there is no praising the person or telling what all he did. No! All that happens when the person dies is, the priest will come, he will chant the Katopanishad which is the science of enlightenment, which gives you the method to achieve enlightenment even when you are about to die. The science will be taught to all the other people. Every step is used towards enlightenment.
