Question: Does no rebirth means the soul will not be born with a body but will be on with
the cosmos externally. Thank you. Swamiji: When you do not have a body, the
concept of external and internal does not exist. Being one with the cosmos, alive with
the cosmos, vibrating with the cosmos, living as a cosmos. When I say, you will not be born
with one body, I mean you will be born in all bodies. You will be experiencing, enjoying
all bodies. I am not taking five senses away from you, I am adding five billion senses
to you. Understand enlightenment and videha mukti need to be understood in a right angle
from the right direction, from the right language, from the right understanding. So be very clear,
when I say you will not have anymore birth, do not be insecure, do not feel you are going
to miss something, lose something. You are only going to gain everything. You are only
going to have everything, so no rebirth should not be understood in negative terms, it need
to be understood in positive terms.
Question: This is a question from my wife. Recently there was a bus accident near her
house. What she saw was one person crushed by a bus and another woman crying helplessly,
that she lost her child. My wife could not sleep for one day. How to handle this shock
at that moment and later? Swamiji: Unfortunately, she was not able to
handle at that moment. Now, the only way to handle is before going to sleep in the night
time, just tell her to sit and relive the whole thing. It will be horrible, understand
like a it will be sweating, shivering, horrible. But it’s okay, go through. Go in to it, go through it. Same way early morning
after waking up immediately go through it like a death meditation how you are asked
to face all the fears consciously, go through this shock consciously. In two three days
you will see it will be just forgotten, all the unnecessary shock, fear, emotion associated
with that scene will melt down. When your body shivers, tears roll, that emotions will
melt down. Understand, when body fluids leave the body, concern emotions leave the system.
Fear, suffering is associated with the tears and when your nose runs, the mucus and the
tears are directly connected to fear, shock and suffering. And your male or female hormone,
the *** is directly connected to *** and guilt. Self torturing concepts are directly
connected to sweat. So, when those body fluids leave you, when you consciously go through
those experiences, the emotions associated with those memories will leave your system.
Understand, understand this one key, you will not be bound by any emotion, all emotion is
nothing but a little bit of liquid added to your body. If you take out that liquid, emotions
will disappear. You can completely control. Yes, now they have discovered it is called
Rheum, the liquid comes from nose watery substance. You understand this truth; you can solve not
just this problem, all problems. All your problems, all your emotional sufferings and
emotional clots are nothing but little bit of liquid in your body. So many things you
do and repent later on, just because of the little bit of male hormone in the body. So
many decisions you make, when that hormones are high in your body just that little bit
of liquid when it is removed from your body, your whole strategy is different now, your
whole concept of life is different now, your whole ideas and decisions are different now.
I tell you, liberate yourself from this liquid mentality. The liquid based mentality, this
is what is Pratyahara. Understand, Pratyahara means not being forced to take any decision
by body fluids. Anger, ***, fear, greed, attention please understand, attention need
is not male hormones action, it is female hormones action. For male hormone it is a
***, for female hormone it is a attention need. That is why male want to get rid of
the *** quickly because it is like a prison. Female want to relax into it because it’s
like a AC room. There is a big difference, between the male’s need and the female’s
wants. And same way, every body fluid is associated with one strong emotion. I tell you, Know,
learn how to handle make decisions independent of your body fluids, you will live a solid
life. You will live a fulfilling life. You will live a powerful fulfilling life. I know
with just simple anger, frustration, people make big big decisions. One brahmachari came
to me and said he wanted to leave the ashram few days before. I asked why, because the
structuring department has fired him, scolded him. I told nothing, don’t bother go and
sit and do manipuraka kriya, shout scream at them, scream to the level from mouth that
water will come. Usually, when you are sleeping sometime, if you are tired if you have screamed
too much, from mouth a kind of saliva will pour. That’s also called Rheum only, I told
him till that Rheum comes, shout, scream and relax. After two days he came back and said,
Oh God Swamiji, now I am able to see everything with the clear eyes. When you clear the body
fluids, you make stable decisions. Man who makes stable decisions, not influenced by
body fluids or the mental patterns and setups created by body fluids is Yogi. This capacity
is Pratyahara. Now I can see very clearly how Saraswati is defining very Pratyahara. This word is such a complicated
word, never ever interpreted this clearly by any yoga sampradaya, by any tradition.
I can see very clearly Saraswati exploding!
