The illusion of the world and liberation of the soul
I am sharing with you something that seems very common to our eyes on my streets. We were standing and suddenly we saw a dog come and the dog raised its legs and hid in front of a tree or a car and went away. We all know why dogs do this, the fact is that dog poop has a special smell that only dogs can pick up that humans don’t understand. When a dog from another area comes in, he smells the smell and realizes that he has entered the other dog’s area, so he moves away. So far you all know that now what I want to say is a little different concept that I will discuss with you. As far as I know a dog lives for 10 to 12 years or often dies before that because of various diseases there is no one to save them. These dogs may have a short life span but they have a tendency to think it’s my territory, it’s their territory. They don’t even think about where they will go after these few years i.e. they don’t have the power to think about it but we may blame the dogs man is more advanced than the dogs man when one brother kills another brother for a hand place so how can we consider it? In fact, this dog is so enmeshed in the illusions and trappings of the worldly world that he cannot think of anything beyond it. He may be thinking that the life he has got is the ultimate reality of the world and that he may be here forever, so he does such things more and more. Now, one thing you may notice is that many dogs in your area who get old don’t mix well with other dogs and live alone. This is called self-awareness i.e. dogs are very inferior animals but God gives them so much consciousness that at the time of death they develop some knowledge so that they realize that what they have done in their whole life is not right so they are a little different. Now he wants to live life differently. This thing also happens in human beings. Let’s say a person has been trapped in worldly illusions all his life when he gets sick in it at the time of death and then he can get out of all these worldly illusions to some extent. God has given this self-consciousness in a small measure in dogs, but so much in man that to come to this self-consciousness he does not have to wait until death, but If he wants, he can realize this self-consciousness sometime after birth and make his life great because the real truth is that everyone has to die after some time. So the sooner he realizes the ultimate truth that there is nothing of his own in this world, the sooner he will be liberated.
In the company I work for, an elderly man used to work as a gardener. The gentleman was not a permanent staff of the company but worked casually so the company felt that for some reason he was sacked. So while leaving, the gentleman was expressing a lot of regret, in fact he had given a big part of his life for this company, so the company fired him without any reason. He was suffering. As he was leaving, he said that maybe I’ll spend the rest of my life in some way but there won’t be the difference between me and the owner of this company in five or 10 years. I was surprised and asked why he replied that after death there is no difference between who is the owner and who is the worker, he has to go to the next stage based on the work, I was surprised to hear his reply. Although it was surprising to hear the words from the mouth of a less educated person like him, the words were 100% true i.e. after death the only identity of man is a soul and his next course is determined based on the actions he has done while alive. It may be seen that the owner of the company I work for may be born as the son of one of the workers of this company or the person who works as a gardener may be born as a child of the owner’s family, that is, we should not think too much about anything. We should only concentrate on our actions. Here I have given so many examples depending on the dog occupying its own territory. Actually, my intention was only to show you that if we go to a place and we stay there for two or three days, it does not mean that we will stay there for the rest of our lives, that is, it is not certain. Someday we will come back from there so we should think about everything permanent and not about this earthly life. As much as we think about worldly things we may become arrogant or even we may drown in the ocean of sorrow but the truth is that this life will not last long then we have to go to another life. So I don’t think there is any reason to think much about this earthly world.
When a soul enters the body of a dog i.e. a dog it can be an animal but it does not have that much intelligence so it is acceptable if it lives in this earthly world. But it is very sad indeed if man, i.e. man whom God has created with so much intelligence, indulges himself in the illusion of this earthly world. But still it is very sad to see when people kill each other for little money or property, surely God is very ashamed to see it. Just as dogs have a tendency to occupy their territory, if we look at humans, there are wars between countries just for territory. Because of this war many innocent people are killed including many women and children but those who create this war are not fighting themselves they are just doing the war by giving some soldiers of both sides as a result soldiers are killed innocent people are killed and they are their own political Self-interest. But when there is an incurable disease or a pestilence, the whole earth becomes empty while there is a lot of space left without people to live in it. Each one of us came on earth for a few days so I think it is better to live in peace without fighting among ourselves during this time, otherwise the whole life i.e. this little time we have will be spent only killing the same other. Next thing but we are only wasting our time. In this regard we should all think whether we are of the same breed as the dog is doing or we are better than that dog if we are better then we should behave like that. In other words, it is not enough to say that humans are the best creatures on earth, but it must be proved in front of everyone. Only then can we claim to be the best in the world and God will be very happy that this best creature he created is really best and not just in name.
