Do you know that there are two ways of thinking in relation with the body?
One, thinking that the body we are carrying is everything in our life. From morning till night, we wash this body, decorate or paint it with make-up, clothe it with all kinds of fanciful attires, feed it with a variety of food, put it to sleep in a comfortable bed; nothing else goes on in the mind except the body. This group of people think they are only the body.
Second, understanding that you are centered on this body, but not only the body. This group of intelligent people know that when this body dies, they are not going to end, everything does not end, the curtain does not fall, it is not that everything is over.
Last Sunday, I celebrated my birthday in a Vedic style with the children of Nithyananda Bala Vidyalaya, a weekend program for children (age range from 4-14 y.o.) which I have been teaching since June 2011. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to spend my birthday in other typical ways except to be surrounded by kids.
I have been listening to the great truths of Ishavasya Upanishad by a living master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji) since Janunary 2015. This morning I just had an epiphany after having been contemplating, internalising and debating about some of the subtler truths about Eesha, Pure Consciousness!
What are Upanishads?
