One not being able to get what is wanted or to
lose what is had. But if he knows that the waking experience is mere mirage,
and that all the wealth, women and luxuries he had, and which was lost has gone
back to Consciousness, the true self, therefore how can he feel sorry. If one
grieves it is because he wrongly felt it has gone into somebody else.
The idea of loss, the object or
person lost, all go back into the soul. Hence a Gnani does not grieve. This is
foolishly applied to practical life, when people have an idea, that I am a
separate being from others;
only for a Gnani is loss not real
loss. Unless one has realized, one should be practical in viewing loss. When one
forgets everything, he doesn’t grieve over it. When one know that memory is an
idea, and then the misery it may bring him is nullified.
All unhappiness brought by the
memory of the past, is found in the mind; Gnani evacuates it as idea and is not
moved. When one knows soul or consciousness
to be all-pervading, he becomes aware of the fact that soul or consciousness alone is real all
else is mirage.
So long as there is waking, there
is thinking. Think always of the fact that everything in past, present and
future is created out of consciousness. Imagination of past and future appears
as real to unenlightened until they awaken.
Then they see it is all imagination. To ignorant waking experience seems
real, to Gnani the waking is mere mirage.
