EYE ON SPIRITUALITY: MAKE PEACE WITH DEATH
It has been a troublesome week. At the least three people who I used to be near in some unspecified time in the future in my life have handed and I’ve heard of some different wonderful souls who’ve handed.
One among my pricey Pundit associates, Gananathamritananda Swamiji, famous that there’s a Vedic calendar element to this:
We now come to the time of the 12 months which Rishi Charaka has known as Yamadamshtra (tooth of Lord Yama). This occurs yearly in Oct/Nov over the past 8 days of the month of Kartik and the primary eight days of the month of Margashirsha. Calculations for these lunar months might range barely relying on whether or not folks comply with the amanta or purnimanta system. From what I’ve observed, this era usually appears to increase for a while earlier than and after the dates talked about by Sage Charaka. They are saying at the moment of the 12 months, Lord Yama comes near the bodily world searching for souls prepared to depart the bodily world. A sick previous or infirm particular person is extra prone to die at the moment of 12 months than some other.
After we are younger, we reside our lives pondering that now we have come to the planet for a really very long time and we’re everlasting. As we get older and we see our associates and kin cross, we get a wake-up name about how comparatively quick our time on this planet is, and it forces us to mirror on our lives.
What are we doing right here? For those who suppose that being right here is all about accumulating some huge cash and constructing a powerful materials basis, then in some unspecified time in the future Saturn will remind you that issues can change rapidly. This was no extra evident within the Gulf Struggle, when the wealthy Kuwaiti oil barons fought within the desert over a loaf of bread. With the warfare in Ukraine, we will see how rapidly issues can change. We’re right here to observe kindness and compassion and to assist others, and you may inform by the way in which the world is transferring that we higher get collectively.
We reside in a really altering and anxious world and I do know lots of you recognize or misplaced somebody to Covid and know that I discover folks mysteriously dying of coronary heart illness and most cancers and it’s a bit shocking.
I am in my 60s and have loads of associates of their 70s and it does not take a lot to push for one thing critical. Saturn takes over for everybody on the age of 70 within the Nasargika Dasha, which displays the pure cycles of life. We should keep in mind that Saturn is the good recycler that ensures that recent cookies all the time come out of the oven. Who desires to eat 90 12 months previous cookies? What form are the pressed flowers from thirty years in the past that we cherish in an previous guide that now we have saved?
Timing of loss of life in Vedic astrology is a really troublesome artwork and isn’t taught as a lot as in historic instances. In my first studying with Chakrapani Ullal in 1985 he instructed me I’d reside to be 88 and after learning loss of life cycles I see he was proper. But I really feel now we have extra X-Components now with fears of nuclear warfare, bioweapons and lots of evil folks in world governments at this time who don’t worth human life.
As a Scorpio, with Mars within the Bharani Nakshatra, related to Lord Yama, the God of Loss of life and Transformation, I’ve all the time had a fascination with loss of life. Over a interval of 1.5 years round 2013-14, I had greater than 20 family and friends members cross and I used to be pressured to make peace with loss of life or be dysfunctional. My non secular Guru has helped loads.
It’s clearer to me day by day that we should reside every second in pleasure and appreciation for easy issues: our walks in nature, the fantastic thing about summer time flowers, the enthusiastic howls of our beloved canines, the odor of recent baked items, the hugs of our household and the continued reference to the divine by our meditation observe. If we activate the tv and get caught up of their propaganda, we’re doomed to reside a lifetime of concern and cowering within the nook of our dwelling. I’ve acquaintances who have been so afraid to exit of their homes throughout Covid that they hadn’t been exterior for 15 months. The media has created a mass psychosis that desires us to be glued to the tube for his or her scores whereas filling our hearts with concern. Is that this how we need to reside?
My non secular trainer displays on loss of life notes:
We die day by day after we fall asleep. The very last thing we take into consideration earlier than we fall asleep is commonly the very first thing we bear in mind after we get up.
Loss of life is like sleep. What we take into consideration after we die and after we are reborn creates primal wishes for the subsequent life. When life is a recreation and you reside it to the fullest, then you possibly can embrace loss of life with out concern and never be a part of the continuum.
We should bear in mind to drop any remorse from the previous and reside within the current and see the previous as a dream after which each second you die and be renewed.
Are you afraid to go to mattress? Are you afraid you will not get up? Are you afraid of loss of life? For those who awaken inside and catch a glimpse of your very being, you’ll not be afraid of loss of life and past. The Everlasting Self is past Loss of life.
We should keep in mind that there isn’t a such factor as loss of life. The soul by no means ceases to exist, and loss of life is the best phantasm. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, interviewing individuals who died on the working desk after which got here again to life, reminds us how inspiring the expertise might be. She notices that folks’s lives are flashed earlier than them after they cross, however solely the moments after they gave unconditional love and have been type. A woman was proven a time at summer time camp when she gave up her in a single day journey to deal with a disabled girl who could not go alongside. That is the most important wake-up name as a result of we have to keep in mind that it is not about what number of issues we acquire, however how a lot love, kindness and compassion we ship day by day!
All of us have an expiry date and one of many Secret of Loss of life is in folks’s Jyotish charts. It isn’t one thing I need to predict or really feel assured about anymore with so many X – X elements on the planet. When our time is up, we transfer on to evolve on one other degree. Life is everlasting and continues.
To die is nothing however to take off your coat and alter your garments, to depart a smoky and stuffy room and exit into the recent air and daylight and be free. The burden is launched and you’re able to take flight with the track.
There may be nothing to be afraid of with loss of life. It has been happening since time immemorial and it’s nearly taking one other step into your everlasting existence. There may be nothing to be alarmed about. If we reside every day as if there will probably be nobody else with pleasure and love and laughter, we can have no regrets. Greater than ever, it is essential to maintain telling everybody round us how a lot we love them, let go of petty fights and bitterness, and simply understand how valuable all of us are. Make-up with these you will have a grudge towards. They may not be right here subsequent 12 months.
Transfer past concern and into love. I’m reminded of a quote from one in all my favourite books, Emmanuel’s guide,
You’ll not deplete the love within the universe if you happen to have been to soak up it from now till the tip of time. Love is all there may be. Love is common communication. It’s the power that created the universe and retains it going. God is love. All matter is shaped from love. There may be an natural love that speaks to everybody if solely they’ll hear. A leaf is held collectively by the ability of affection. . . .
The best want in a soul is to attain that self-love that may create unity the place the judgments which have triggered such ache are eradicated.
