Life After Death

BY: RAGHU MISHRA DAS

May 26, 2012 — CANADA (SUN) —

yes
here

i
am my Lord with my

mouth
shut

tight
so

to
speak
listening

to

this

type

of

music and donating

to
my favourite charity a few

tears
or

too
much

fun

for
one

heart to have

and

hold back the
tears

happens yes just

so
happens
it

just so happens
to
near

kill

me
you

know

i

laugh

so

impossibly

hard
Lord it is

ridiculously
hysterical how i
am
disposed of yes i am
so

disposed
you

might say i am in

need

of thinking again

in
my

sleep

you

know

my

sleep
Lord is disturbed

with

the
ringing

sound of end
of
the

line

bells and whistles though as i
have

said

before
i

am
sure
right

around
here

somewhere as a matter

of
fact you heard

me

yes
i
said no i

said

yes no yes

no
yes no matter what i

am
supposed
to
do
about

it is fine

yes
you

know

whatever dear Lord

whatever

you
want

me to do
is

fine

by

me

Lord

i do whatever

you

want me to do about it as it

is
now

and

again i am

the
one

who

must
demonstrate

life after death

happens

and happens and

happens

dear
Lord

how

it

happens is of

course

interesting to some

extent
for
those

in a wrinkled state mostly so to
speak

yes they can

tell

you Lord how

they
are in appreciation

of
their

lives
so to speak

and

don't

want
to

die

demonstrating how it
is

necessary to do

so
all
the

same

under
no

special

circumstance is one

found

to
be

all
that

resistive to life

after

death
the
very thought or
the
very idea of it sets

one
in

a

kind

of

little
trance

although it is

hard to find

one

in this age

of
kali

it
is

hard

to

find

one interested in
life
as it is in space

making

sense like this so to
speak
yes as it
is
dear Lord as it is

not

very funny to

be
here

now

unless this is
funny

yes

the

funny
business
i
am
here

for

demonstrably here for

yes but what am i

disposed
to

do

about it now

there

is
no

need to wonder in good
faith

yes

dear

Lord i am

in
good
faith

acting like i

have

a sense of humour that is wholly

yes
in fact wholly dependent on the way

you

smile as if
i

care about life
far

more than i
care
about what comes

after

me

so

to
speak
you

know

what i mean
dear

Lord

death

comes after me and life of course
is
life
after
death there now
i

know

that
wasn't

too

hard
for

you
to

understand dear Lord
but

how funny is

that

voice now the sound of this so suddenly yes

yes

that is what

cracks
me up so

to

speak like this with my

mouth

shut

tight
now i am

laughing

to

beat
the

band

and in need of a
good

kirtan obviously yes

a

real
hum

dinger of a
kirtan

dear Lord that'll set me

and

my

sweet

little

sunshine

love
all

right all right

there
is

nothing

wrong with a kirtan full of

face
twisting

laughter

in the sunshine
dear

Lord

you

know

it
very

well

the

laughter

i mean the
laughter

yes

you
can
just

hear it all
now the laughter and it

is

what most of us are
around
the

laughter

is

around

us

too

we

are

laughing so to
speak

even as i

am

listening to this

type
of

music

singing even yes a little

teary
eyed

and

marvellous in this
life

after
death
so
suddenly
dear

Lord

there
is

nothing you can do about
it

that is not

from

one perspective rich
as

you

are

so

fortunate

yes you are nice and

fortunate

in our company we enjoy
the

ananda

of

ananda

mayobhyasat

Prabhupāda: He could not finish.

You see?
There are so many things.

We are thinking, "By finishing this, we shall be happy,"
but that is sometimes hampered.

So ananda is checked.
So this is the position.

So higher means where ananda is not checked.

That is higher position.

The purpose is ananda, but in this material world we are
experiencing ananda being checked.
Just like nobody wants to die.

That's a fact.

Why you shall die?

I already discussed that
I know that I was a child, I was a boy,
I was a young man, and now I have got this body,
old man's body.
It is now going to finish.

So I am little anxious.

Now, whatever ananda I was drawing in
my living condition, now it is going to be finished.

But if we think properly that "I am eternal,
so although the body will be finished, I'll not be finished…"
This is very natural, that "I was not finished.
Because my childhood body was finished,
so I was not finished.

My boyhood body was not finished;
I was not finished.
My youthhood was finished, but I was not finished."

Similarly, the conclusion should be: "Even though
this body will be finished, I'll not be finished."

That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita,
tatha dehantara praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati [Bg. 2.13].
Dhira, one who is intelligent,
he is not disturbed.
Dhiras tatra na muhyati. So dhira, one who is dhira,
sober, philosopher, he knows that "I am not
going to be finished.
I shall have to accept another body."

Now, whether that body will be ananda?

That is the consideration.
I'll get another body,
just like I have got this body,
after changing so many bodies.
Moment after moment, we are changing body.

That is the medical science, changing of blood corpuscles.

So this body will be changed again.

Then I will have to enter the mother's womb
and packed up for at least ten months in suffocated condition.

This is scientific, all.
Then again I'll come out when the body is prepared
nicely to come out and exist.

So that period of formation of body is not ananda.
To remain compact in this way for ten months,
it is not ananda.

It is not ananda, just opposite ananda.
Then when we die… Die, death, means the miserable condition
is so great that we cannot live.

We have to go out.

There is no ananda.

Then, when we have got this body,
changing, there is no ananda because we are sometimes diseased,
and to become old man,
that is also not ananda.
Therefore I am eternal. I am seeking after something which is eternal
ananda.
Therefore next consideration should be that
"Whether this condition of repetition of birth,
death, old age and disease can be changed?"

That is next question.

And if there is possibility, then we shall try for it.

But there is possibility here.
The conclusion is: so long we get this material body…

Because matter is not eternal.
Anything you take, material—earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind,
intelligence and false ego—these are all material things.
So these material things, they are not eternal,
none of them.

This table is created; it is not eternal.

It will be finished at a certain date, anything you take.

But I am eternal.

So if I transfer myself in another nature which is eternal,
then my ananda will be eternal. That is the purpose of life.

holy

cow
i

where
did

i did i

was

out

like
a

flash

what did i

miss

am

i

missing
something

here
this

does

not sound funny

at
all to me here

here
here i was

thinking

actually

no

one

thinks

much
of
going

home

you know you
have

to

die

but there is
always

the
tendency
to

think

one has a

hat

on in this

world
and
where

do

i

hang
out
or can i

leave

my

hat

here
for

a second and go back

to

see what i

was
so
suddenly
was
i
bad

wow
you

know

what i must
be
kind

of

hopeless kind of

eh
yes
kind

of hopeless in your eyes

dear

Lord

of
all

you
survey i am
no
doubt
hopelessly

in
a

shameless position of
compromise
so
suddenly
dear

Lord

i

am

not very funny

anymore

that's
all
that's

for
sure

what

happened

to

me

as
i
went out one

morning
to

breath

in a little and sing out

loud
don't
worry

if

it
is

not

good

enough

for me dear

Lord

of

all

you
survey

the music i
am

typing
into

this is kind

of

fill

by
the way but not really

the

kind

of
psychology that a
doctor
phil would use
all
that
much

you

know

it

is
a

crime

yes a shame

a
crying
shame

i

have
no

sense
of

being

real like this

and
chanting Hare Krsna nicely at

all

so

suddenly

it

asking you a

question
