‘Hanudas, this fragile, crying self is not you; this is your mind. You are a powerful soul connected to the immortal Lord Hanuman, but your mind is a weak slave of the external world, Maya.

If we imagine attachment as a channel between two souls, the flow can’t be one-sided,’

‘And if attachment establishes a channel between two souls, bad and good Karma should equally flow through it. It can’t be the transfer of only bad Karma,’

There are mainly nine emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Pity, Disgust, Expectation, Surprise, and Trust.

We express emotions as though we are acting in a play: the grand play of Maya.’

‘True emotions make a true human being. Only the selfish people fake their emotions to weave their evil designs,’

we express our emotions with the awareness of being a character in this grand play, we remain safe from the mermaid.’

Baba had sunk to immeasurable depths of ignorance and evil in less than an hour.

‘The same reason why millions of other souls on this planet can’t see me: Bad Karma, the deep pit of bad Karma that exists between me and them. Baba got buried under a multi-layered veil

of ignorance in just one hour by… by the mermaids, if I may put it allegorically,’ replied Lord Hanuman.

is based on the fact that every diseased body has its corresponding healthy body present in the alternative plane of existence. The soul can switch from the diseased body to the healthy body in no time, but the illusionary external world, Maya, keeps the soul trapped in the diseased body. It keeps the soul believing that the diseased body is the only reality. It uses many ways to do so.

Injecting information of forgotten past and unseen future has immediate and far reaching consequences on the journey of the soul. Therefore,

Let me regale you with the wonders of this universe as you submit yourself to a healing sleep.

This universe looks like a quiet, shining white ball of strange fluid when perceived from outside Space-Time. This fluid is held together in spherical form by a web of thin strings spread all through it. This white fluid is the fluid of Space. These strings are that of Time, also known as T-strings.

For a minute, just drop your identity, ‘Urmi’, and assume that you have escaped from both Time and Space. You have no identity, no mind, no memories; you are nothing because if you were something, you would be in the Space-Time,

the nothingness is hard to imagine, imagine that you are just a speck of light. I see that you are still lingering in the identity of Urmi. Drop it. You are nothing, you are Shunya.

You don’t need to touch Time and Space if you go through a path called the Shunya Tunnels. That means you can reach any location in Time-Space in no time if you travel through the Shunya Tunnels. ‘How is that possible,

Karma and Desire are the only two building blocks of one’s identity.

jungle, and everything else that makes up the scene.

If you can return to nothingness after living each scene, you are not an ordinary

soul. You are a Deva, a god.

You have the freewill to live any scene you want, but not to create or alter a scene.

The lack of this knowledge results in the belief that you are the doer or the creator.

‘I was born as Urmi. … My life has been full of struggles with health issues. … I believe in such and such ideas. … I have to die one day. …,’ where do these notions come from? A bunch of Karma-Desire packets you possess.

‘Did you feel that, Kala? A human soul has attained Godhood somewhere. Tell me, who is this monk whose penance has yielded results?’ ‘Chandra is her name,’ replied Kala.

‘And she is an ordinary housewife. All she did was throw some food to the hungry monkeys cloistered on her rooftop.’

Acts of kindness done by ordinary human beings are triggered by thoughtful calculations of its benefit in terms of Karma, and are followed by the pride and satisfaction which lingers for a long time. But Chandra did it as though it were a routine, ordinary task. ‘Maybe because she is your sincere devotee, she was kind to the monkeys,’ said Kala dismissively.

wasn’t an unheard-of situation. Gods summon spare souls to occupy soulless bodies as and when required for the welfare of mankind.

They not only subscribe to a belief system but also associate with people who have the same belief system.

A soul that has 14 T-strings splits into two souls having seven T-strings each. They act as mirror images of each other. They both live in one body in harmony. If one soul gets engrossed in a scene, the other shows it the mirror.

He believed that an invisible power, whom he called his Guru, was guiding him.

Look at the packets of desires accumulated on her soul.

Love liberates a person, but love infested with attachment does the opposite.

Chandra, no doubt, had immense love for her child but it was attachment-infested. Her anger at her deity, her expectations from her gods, her sadness due to the circumstances, her fear for her son—all such emotions were infested with attachment which was making her hold on tightly to her identity:

‘Who am I?’, ‘What is this world?’, and ‘What is death?’

the abuses just flew through his egoless self. If any abuse managed to stick to any layer of his existence, it immediately got unstuck by the realization that the external world is nothing but an illusion.

Ignorance is weakness, knowledge is power. You are more powerful than millions of other souls you share this planet with. Some of them can feel my presence around them but none of them can see me.’

‘No, Urmi. Don’t fall into this trap,’ said Lord Hanuman as she brought her gaze back to His holy feet. ‘These kinds of thoughts keep human beings trapped in their bodies. Let me decipher what you just thought. You believe that a king is more powerful than an ordinary person. You are prejudiced against the people who live outside the jungle. You think they are greedy and evil. You have learned that punishing is a necessary part of governance. You believe that the environment should be saved. These ideas of power-weakness, greedy-generous, punishment-reward, conservation-destruction, etc., keep you limited to the identity of a human. They keep you caged in the human body. You may stick to them while living scenes of the human life you are living. But to free your soul, you must free yourself of anything that makes you who you are, anything that contributes to your identity as a human called Urmi.’

‘You must realize the potential of your soul, Urmi. Don’t be like the millions of your fellow humans who stay entertained—though I would use the word trapped—by their body and mind,’

provided it is not burdened by Karma and past desires,’

‘A soul knows no distance. For it, this tree is as distant as the moon. Your soul could go to the moon or the sun in no time if it weren’t burdened by the packets of Karma-Desires. And what are they? They are everything that builds your identity: your beliefs, passions, likes, dislikes and so on. I don’t expect you to unload all your Karma-Desires at once. I don’t compare you with gods who can travel to any corner of this universe. But I do expect you to be more skilled than an average person in your community. Stretch your boundaries, Urmi, before they squeeze you to—’

“You must let go of this palace if you want to save it. You must forget about it completely. Go and live in a hut in the jungle till Saturday. Not even a single emotion should touch your soul when you think about the palace.”

you already practice detachment in day-to-day life.’

‘You need to give up all attachments with your body if you want to save it.’
