ly God teaches us that body, world, universe are all mortal. One or the other day, there will come an end to everything. We care too much about ourselves. We try to make our body look beautiful. We are beautifying ourselves with various cosmetic products. We go through various surgeries, wear expensive dresses, ornaments and spend so much of time and money on these things. We struggle hard to own property and try to expand it day by day. We work hard to get promotions and there by increase our bank balance. But, all these efforts and hard work of ours go in vain. It is of no use as all these things are going to perish. All these things which seems real are mortal in nature. Their destruction is for sure. The only truth that exists is the soul. It is immortal in nature. Body will become old and helpless as it will get infected and inflamated. It will become a home for various diseases and disorders. However, soul does not have to face all these difficulties. It is immortal in character.

Need of the moment is to realize the real 'me'. Real 'me' is not the body as body changes daily where as soul remains the same. Body dies and soul remains forever. Body changes, mind too changes. Soul existed before, exist today and will exist even after the body dies. This inner spirit has to be known. It is the spirit of the soul. It is light and power of the soul. This soul is a part of supreme soul. Once it attains salvation, it gets freed from the cycle of life and death and becomes one with supreme soul. It never takes birth again as its aim is fulfilled.

There are certain merits of loving God and demerits of showing love towards worldly pleasures.

God can be achieved if desired whereas one cannot gain world just by desiring. One has to struggle hard physically, play mind games and become restless to achieve world. Even after all the efforts that are put in, it is not sure whether they will become glorious in their task. Even the worldly things like money, vehicles, property etc..... cannot be gained just by having a desire of gaining them. However, one if desires to achieve God then God himself will open the way for them. He himself will show us the path and will lead us through that path by holding our hands firmly. We need not worry about the difficulties that come in between as we are holding the hands of the supreme.

God once achieved does not become separated. Once oneness is achieved between soul and supreme soul, separation is not possible whereas, money, property and other worldly pleasures do not guarantee of been with us for life long. No matter how much amount we accumulate, its going to get over one day or the other. No matter, how strong buildings we build, its going to get destroyed one day or the other as all these worldly pleasures are mortal in nature. One never opts to leave his childhood. Childhood always gets left behind. Nobody can hold it firmly. Childhood toys, childhood clothes, childhood games, childhood friends all are left behind but God who existed even before childhood, exist even now and will continue to exist. God is immortal whereas body and worldly pleasures are mortal.

God when achieved will be achieved completely in his full form whereas world on its whole can never be achieved. One can never get hold of a complete area of any country. Rulers and kings ruled in ancient area, fought many wars and tried to conquer larger areas through their victory. However, their glory too did not last for long. One or the other day, their glory got defeated and the area they conquered came under control of some other king. In contrary, sages who understood the difference between soul and body have left these worldly pleasures behind and have moved to some sacred and calm places. They after struggling through many years acquired God and acquired oneness with him. God never leaves his devotees even for a second alone.

With the will of achieving God itself, our sins, our fear and bad character of ours start getting destructed. Such is the power of supreme deity. Our corrupt heart turns into a noble heart and person starts developing good characters. In contrary, desire of achieving world will fill in all sorts of sins and fear within us. Our behavior will turn worst from bad. Heart fills in with lots of corruption. One who wishes for achieving God will never become corrupt, will never lie. The more the firm will he develops inside to achieve God, more enlightened his soul and overall character will become. He will become a pure and noble soul in no time.

Desire of achieving God brings peace with itself. Desire of achieving worldly pleasures brings along with it stress, tension and war. Person who remains drenched in devotion of God will remain unaffected from favorable and unfavorable circumstances. He becomes stable and thus will not be able to differentiate between the two. Person who desires of conquering world or the one who desires to accumulate all worldly pleasures will get upset and sad on not so important topics too. Stress and tension will become an integral part of his life. He will always remain surrounded by them. Peace and rest will never be enjoyed by him. He will always remain restless filled with lots of tension within.

Cycle of life and death is been continued since right from the time of formation of this earth and will continue for ages. Until and unless, we make our effort to get rid of this cycle of life and death, we will never get rid of it. If we keep ourselves busy with mortal things, it is for sure that we will take a rebirth and our rebirth need not be necessarily in human form. It may be in the form of a plant, in the community of animals, insects, mammals etc..... Whatever community we are provided with, we have no option but to live in it and struggle through it. After death, soul is sent either to heaven or hell as per its deeds. Good deeds will make way for heaven whereas bad deeds will send a soul to hell. Once all the time duration is covered by staying in a heaven or hell, soul returns to the earth and a new body is provided to him. In this way, life cycle continues. A way of getting rid of cycle of life and death itself is known as salvation. One who achieves salvation resides in the heart of supreme deity. They never need to get back to the earth. They happily live ever after. If one dies while chanting the name of God will straight away go to supreme deity and become one with him. If one thinks about world all the time then he will fill in himself with corruption, enmity, feeling of hate etc..... If one thinks about God then these evils will get rid from one's life and soul will become inseparable from God. While remembering God, if a devotee dies then he will never get upset with the death as he is going to reside within the heart of the God. He understands that world was going to get separated from him regardless of efforts he puts in. Thus, he remains in peace as he knows that God is the only one who was never going to get separated from him.

For the people whom world and pleasures appeal a lot will work hard and struggle hard. No matter how strenuous their struggle is, they at last get separated from world. Their death separates them from everything they acquired in their life time. Their wishes remain unfulfilled. They never dwell in peace. They die being upset and their death is also disgraceful. They reside in hell. While they were alive, they made their lives equivalent to hell by performing various sins and finally when their souls left their respective bodies, they are made to spend their stay in hell.

If one wishes to die peacefully without any stress and unfulfilled desires then he should learn the fact that God is the only one who was, is and will be his. Initially, we need to recite within our hearts that we belong to God. Once we become aware and completely understand the situation, we need not recite it again and again. Our inner self and sub conscious mind will start understanding that we belong to God. Rest everything existing is illusion and the God is the only reality. No entity in this world says " I belong to you." But, God says, "soul is my part and it belongs to me." Thus, living soul belongs to supreme soul and supreme soul belongs to living soul.

Why does a person gets upset when he departs from the world. This world never belonged to him and will never be his. There is no point in getting upset with it. He is fool who do not become aware with the fact that God is the one who was, is and will always be his. One who is always present as well as present in everyone and also present in soul, if knowing him and achieving him is difficult then achieving whom is considered to be easy? If soul does not have enough time to become one with God who is everywhere, consistent, friendly and having supreme heart then that soul is considered to be disgraceful. For the things which never existed, will never exist and in present are giving stress, what fun can one derive in achieving them. This is what a kaliyug is. One struggles throughout his life and carries out various sins and corruptions as well as speak lies for the sake of mortal body which is going to dye one day and get burnt. For the sake of mortal things, immortal God should never be kept far away. He resides within us, within souls of all living beings. All we have to do is to recognize him, understand him and acquire oneness with him for forever.
