A man of joy won't think about the ending and always think about an ever enduring life, life of immortality, no death etc., Because pleasure, the need of pleasure makes him to ask more. When the life is filled with sadness, worries, troublesome mind wants an ending. The ending being the end of the troublesome period or sometimes to life itself. Contradictory aspects and thoughts of human mind. How could always there be happiness? If it is temporary, then what is the meaning of having immortality. This arises when there is a conflict in understanding the beginning and ending. I have undergone such situations when human beings betrayed me, condemned me of nothing, just for being a human. There are days when I even thought of ending my life itself. But some interventions of the cosmic energy made me understand the facts of life. Anyway it will end from one form to begin another. An ending is not just an ending but a path to a new beginning. This is what I believe always.
This is an interesting discussion with a fellow youngster, who become desperate in his life, as once I was. I managed to discuss whatever I received as realization from cosmic energy.
Seeker: Anna, I am so tired of this world. I of course, in my life am filled with sorrows. Though I wish to do lot of things in life, I am not able. Will there be an end for all these. Will my death be an end for all these sorrows?
A.V.R. : What do you want as an end my friend. Ending for your life or else for your sorrows? Aren’t you seeing there is always pleasure and pain both are in parallel in our day to day life. If you question is to end sorrows, then it is that you want to start with pleasures. If you want to end your life then that is another type of question? There is no end in anything, but there is only transformation, from one aspect to another. If you want to get ended up with sorrows, then likely you want a life of pleasure.
Even in death, there is no end. There can be a transformation where your physical body gets transformed to astral body. A state of matter to another state, is it not the physics says?
Seeker: Anna, actually I want to get rid of these things, my sorrow, my worries. But the day to day happenings in my life often gets me rid of that thought. I again circled with worries.
A.V.R.: Those are your thoughts isn’t it. If it is your thoughts, then it has created the real you. I mean a thought of worrying situation has made you to look sad. It is then necessary to make a cleansing activity on your thoughts.
Seeker : How can I do that?
A.V.R. : Easy my friend. Accept the reality. You know onething, we started enquiring is there an end. IF you want to end up the sorrow, then you start with the pleasure. It is in you only. As per the cosmic law of impermanence, any aspect in this world is subject to change, from this to that and again from that to this. Underline this correctly. Pain will change to pleasure, and again pleasure to pain. Isn’t that a transformation? When your mind is ready to accept this reality, then you can start cleansing your mind by inputting the right things.
Seeker: Anna, make it clear. What are those right things?
A.V.R. : There is only one fact in this world. That is the fact itself. When you accept sorrow itself as a fact in the current moment with a hope that it will change to pleasure tomorrow or the next moment, it may happen at any point of time. Then that could be the right way of thinking. Cleansing means look at yourself as a fact. Then it means you accept the fact and is ready to face it.
Seeker : But sometimes it hurts no?
A.V.R. : It will. It must. How could you know the feel of pleasure, if there is no pain. If you eat out of hunger, much hunger, then you are likely to know the taste. If you eat whenever you want, then you will become obese. Your tastebuds will die, that control, this control all will happen. When you accept the pain, feel it in its true sense, then there will be true pleasure. But still again you have to be conscious that it is again impermanent.
Seeker: So that one you call it as transformation?
A.V.R.: Yeah. That is the fact. A thought or an idea is transformed from the real fact. When there is an acceptance of the real fact, when you see it as it is, you wont feel it as burden. The extra consciousness of impermanency will give you a hope of transformation. Does not in our real world we have antonyms – say Good for Bad, Light for Dark, Yes for No etc.,
When one is the actual fact and when it is refused then arises the opposite. But aren’t you feeling that the facts remain still. That consciousness is very important. I am good, but when I deny or ignore the fact, then I become bad. Does that sound clear?
I will make it more clear. Sun is the source of light. Isn’t it? If yes, then the absence of light ie., the darkness means, there is no sun at all or what? How will you answer for this? You cannot in anyway, because sun is the fact, the source of light. It is there all time, right from the beginning. Existent as a fact always. In every antonym there is this actual hidden fact.
Seeker : Then how we will correlate this with life and death?
A.V.R. : Aren’t you seeing, the death is the real fact. Until death, you have life. Isn’t that much simple to explain it. We human always strive to stay away from facts. But when we know this, there is no actual ending and beginning, because we always live in it, in one or other form.
Seeker : So do you say death is not an ending?
A.V.R. : Death cannot be an ending. Why should not it be another beginning. Like your beginning of eternal life in a paradise promised or mukthi or moksha whatever the world names it. Aren’t we treated with such things, to attain them right from our birth. As I said already, can it be other form the real fact called life after death. Transformation is the fact. Change is the reality. You always transform, forever, one form to another, and another. That is the beginning, that is the ending and again the beginning of a new form. Think about the verses like “I am the alpha and omega”, the reality which transforms for ever.
