This body, heaven and hell, bondage, liberation and fear, are the makings of your own mind. This body has been made by your mind, your mind first, then body. Concepts of heaven and hell are also creations of the mind. It is not the act. Your mind thinks this is heaven and that is hell, and goes in that direction. Heaven for someone may be hell for somebody else. Hell for someone may be heaven for someone else. An alcoholic would imagine all types of alcohol in heaven. That is what heaven is. It's also mentioned in some religions, not to drink alcohol here, because you will be deprived of a better quality of alcohol when you die and go to heaven.
If you dislike spicy food, then your imagination of hell would be having very spicy food stuffed into your mouth! You read about that in some of the Puranas. You will get very spicy hot food stuffed directly into your mouth! Your hands will be tied and your neck held up. There will be two men shovelling it inside your mind. You'll have no choice! Concepts of hell are all in your mind. If someone likes spicy food,it won't be hell for them, it will be heaven for them! One with a habit of eating food very fast would say, ' Oh, good!' If somebody puts food into my mouth, it is easy and if they push it down, it's even easier! I don't even have to do any work to chew the food! рдмрди्рдзрдоेрдХ्рд╖ौ । Liberation and bondage is also in your mind. I want to be free. Wanting to be free becomes another bondage; the biggest bondage! It doesn't matter if you are free or not; walk as if you are free! Just pretend for a while. Pretend 'I am free', and you will see you are in touch with the Truth. In fact all your crying, yelling, and shouting, is just an imagination, it is not reality. That is not your nature. Your being unhappy is really only your imagination or a mood. Unhappiness is not your nature! If you go a little deeper and dig deep into yourself, you'll see your unhappiness is just a surface layer.
Fear comes out of separation; out of two-ness, the duality; out of ignorance of your wholeness, your oneness with this entire existence. рдХрд▓्рдкрдиाрдоाрдд्рд░рдоेрд╡ैрддрдд् । A this is just imagination - a superimposition. рдХिं рдоे рдХाрд░्рдпं рдЪिрджाрдд्рдордиः । When it is like this, what do I have to know? When I don't have any bondage, I don't have to strive to liberate myself. When there is no heaven or hell, what merit of demerit should I have? There is nothing I have to do. No merit or demerit. No bondage or liberation.
He says, 'I have no job, I have nothing to do!' Aho! A sudden realization that you are the king and you don't have to do any work! The King suddenly finds that he has been striving hard to earn piece of bread and a spoon of butter and jam. He suddenly realizes he is the king. He says, 'What do I do? I don't need to do anything.' рдХिं рдоे рдХाрд░्рдпं рдЪिрджाрдд्рдордиः ।
