THE INVALIDITY OF IMMORTALITY

THE sole aim of life is to safeguard the past rudiments and lessons that we learn as a by-product of our living. We are guarding our species from extinction by reproducing, so that along with its sustenance we protect our cherished views engraved in the Vedas from the peril of discontinuity in lineage otherwise we have to re-conceive it; although the Vedic Mantras, the sacred sounds, reverberate unconditionally to the capable souls amongst us who are blessed with the divine ear of Musicism! There is creation everywhere followed by rapid growth culminating into being-less-ness. There are always rediscoveries which come out of the phenomena of repetition. These are the steady courses of Nature. Our part in this game is to witness and to be a victim of Fate—the major part being cherishing the Electrix of the essence of our Spirit.
The beauty of Nature is its vast expansion from voidness into being but I ascertain this course of it as projections of the cosmic emptiness and our mutual consciousness in order to merge and mix. During the time of Pralaya or total-destruction, there would be Noah’s Ark or something of its kind in order to secure and protect the fundamental flora and fauna so that life-forms get preserved for further expansion and to start afresh. We feel similarity in every walk of our lives. It is this concept which keeps us going hoping clairvoyance of the future from comparing with the past deeds of us. All our activities in their essence are one and the same as our parents’ and there would not be any variation just because our work here is to preserve, sustain and transfer the Glorious Immortal Divinity and this is evident from the periodicity of Time. We achieve Immortality not by securing it individually or uniquely but by replication of the Divine Truth.
Radio-carbon dating reveals the age of the things of distant past. Also we can infer that there were long gaps in Time when the Earth had no life-forms as the other planets are now. Since Time is a cycle we can expect the same in the future also. After mass destruction, the globe will reduce to a dummy grave-yard so that our corpses get decomposed and stay cooled and buried deep into the abyss preparing fuel and other associated derivatives for the future dwellers’ use. Here is where the repetition concept comes into play its pivotal role. As long as there is Time, this process never ends up. If a person learns these by his stupendous efforts, then what would be his next course of action? Or what is the point in cultivating life business further? After a person acquiring such Supreme Wisdom his activities are not his as he is God-intoxicated and his total movement is the turning of God Himself as he has become a Jeevanmukta i.e. a Liberated-living!
The never ending story clutches us for eternal bliss. We are given chances to merge ourselves with our True Self, relieve from doing wrong to Self-realisation. Committing anything composed of good and evil fluctuates over our conscience and by seriously doing thus makes our ego perspire and finally dissolve and loose its hold in the holy egoistic pyre. This is the wonder worthy of devoting all our generations in preservation of it from the risk of forgetting. As long as there is this concept, our simple part of living it in one way or the other is rewarded by salutations of our future sons & daughters. It is like respecting the previous thought which brought us to the present.
All our idiosyncrasies regarding the domestic gods tempt us to become like one. But true worship of a god is to transform ourselves into the concept behind him and even the gods won’t achieve Immortality lest they do attain it only by being the concept itself. The Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the Stars, so on are entities of identifiable conceptions. We have to manifest like one of the concept of Truth so as to stay fixed or otherwise we collapse and expand and give rise to the gorgeous trappings of the vicious Time. So, by remaining as a concept we achieve Immortality; otherwise it is impossible and Immortality is considered as mere imperfection.
