*Chapter 4 - The World Of Immortality*
*Day 14*
It is the breath of the breath, the prana of the prana, the life of the life force, the real life of the life force. Now check how many left? (Laughter) How many right?
How many both? While breathing in you cannot test. You can only test when you are breathing out. Breathe out and you see. With every action your breath changes.
When tendencies come for certain actions, only that prana is functioning for that time. So, when the left nostril is functioning, it is a good time to drink.
If the right nostril is functioning, it is time to eat. If you do the reverse, within six months time you may fall sick, this is the scripture.
It is practical also, as the metabolism of your body is twice when you are breathing through the right, it is half when the left nostril is functioning.
So, you should not eat and drink the same time. Ayurveda says when you drink, you should not eat. When you eat, you should leave a gap of half an hour to one hour, then you can drink.
Because every hour the nadis change, the breath changes every hour, the prana changes, the energy around the world changes all the time. So, observe the prana and that which is beyond the prana.
Observe your eyes.
Now you are looking at this book right? This book is the scenery, and you are the seer, your eyes are on the scenery. Now from the scenery, retrieve your attention into the eye and the one who is seeing.
Often, people want to see God as an object. God is not a scenery, but is the seer. You cannot see God in front of you as an object. Dont ever objectify God.
God is subject of the subject, mind of the mind, prana of the prana. So, in the Upanishad, the Rishi took one inward, and one who goes there steps into another world, the world of immortality, the world where nothing ever dies.
Nobody ever disappears in this world because it is the mind of the mind, and the consciousness of the consciousness, which is there ever present, which is always there.
Like, you change your dress everyday, but you are the same person. In the same way our bodies are also like garments, we have changed them so many times.
Just imagine someone who forgets what happens, someone who has dementia, who forgets what he was wearing yesterday, or even that if he was wearing anything yesterday and everyday.
They think this is the only day they are alive and thinks this is all that he has. How limited his awareness is. So, when you are what is behind these eyes, that which is the sight and power of the eye.
That which is the prana of the prana, mind of the mind, you are taking a journey inward. That is namah. From manah, the mind, its turning into namah.
