Live as the Self

Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

You are without birth and death. What does it mean when one says that the body is dead? The elements have returned to their own substance, so who has died? Only that which was given some name after birth, is what is dead. Only the name is dead. You never die. You are without parts but at the same time, you are a part. From particle to cosmos, from cosmos to particle, you are permeating everything, yet you are still more. You feel sorrow when taking on the sorrow of others. You should not worry about others. Let the body be glorified, but remain larger and greater than even the earth. Be complete. The space, or sky does not move. You also do not move. If you remain with this wisdom, you are Brahman, the Absolute. The word Karna means the one who who listens. Listen to spiritual teachings, but do not keep them confined only to the ear. Act accordingly. Only who acts will benefit. One who puts into practice the teachings of the Sadguru, will attain Brahman. One must listen to and understand the science of life, and then you will be happy. You will get experience according to your faith. If you meditate on God as the Life-force, as the Life-Energy, then you will be the Life-Energy. We are not worldly. Discard the concept that you are an individual. If you actually live as a sage, you will attain the state of Brahman. If you live as the Self, you will be one with the Almighty God, Narayana.
