Self Realization



In exchange for the austerities one performs, he gets spiritual pleasure and that spiritual pleasure is unending. Material life no doubt has some happiness, but it has an end also. Even if one becomes a very powerful dictator, how long will he be able to live? Fifty, sixty, seventy years! Suppose one is a very rich man or a very successful playboy or suppose one is a very big businessman, how long do all these assets stay with one? A maximum of sixty to eighty years! Today somebody might be glorified, worshipped but tomorrow he would be criticized, scolded, or even attacked. This is material life! Everyone comes and goes. Because the illusory energy of the Lord bewilders everyone, everyone thinks, “I am such a rich man—I shall be worshipped and glorified eternally.” This is the power of illusion and the material world is basically a world of illusion. Spiritual life means—getting out of this illusion.



Sometimes when we preach, people say, “Yes, there are miseries but I do not want to think of them. Why should I think of miseries? Even though there is death, OK, when death comes I shall also die. Everybody will die. Why to think of what will happen after death?” People often say like that. But they should be asked why they went to school. They did so because they were planning for the future so that when they grew up, they would get a good job. People save money in banks because they are always planning for the future. But what will happen after death, that they do not want to plan. It is OK not to plan, but then they should not call themselves human beings, for they are liv­ing like cats and dogs. The problem is that people live like cats and dogs but call themselves civilized. Just like the sunshine destroys darkness, spiritual association destroys illusion about bodily identification.
