he had been wandering in order to lull his mind to sleep, not to activate it further by trying to grasp the meaning of every little thing.
The guilt of helplessness oozed out of me in the form of compassionate love.
While the fire heated up the water, Baba’s intellect cooled his mind down.
you would never know what I wanted to convey until your mind was ready to receive it,’
‘Any soul you are attached to is a mermaid for you because it slowly pulls you into the pond of its bad Karma,’
‘Every emotion is a form of attachment. There are mainly nine emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Pity, Disgust, Expectation, Surprise, and Trust.
‘The wise Mahtangs stay away from all nine forms of attachment, all the emotions. We express emotions as though we are acting in a play: the grand play of Maya.’
‘I can have true emotions at any given time and be simultaneously aware that this world is just a grand play wherein I am merely playing a character.’
‘If we express our emotions with the awareness of being a character in this grand play, we remain safe from the mermaid.’
The poison that he imagined would kill the maggots was now flowing in the veins of his loved ones.
a memory planted in your mind has the power to alter your future actions.
She had the answers to each of her questions. But at that moment the questions seemed more alleviating than the answers. Tears rolled down out of the corners of her eyes. She didn’t try to blink them back.
Nor did she try to extricate answers from the depths of her intellect, the answers that might have explained her pain and stopped the tears.
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 someone like me who is free from Space-Time, the Universe consists of scenes. I can choose any scene and live it as though it’s happening with me.
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.
The T-strings create a repulsive force which repels the fluid of Space so that it doesn’t fully touch them.
If you can imagine a scene, it exists out there in Space-Time. Whether you get to live it or not is another matter. When you live a scene, you earn an experience. When you desire to live a scene but can’t live it, then also you earn an experience. An experience can be imagined as a packet of light. Every packet of light is unique as it holds unique information about the experience. Still, they come in two broad variations. Let’s call them red packets and green packets.
When you live a scene, you earn a green packet of light called Karma. When you desire to live a scene (think, imagine, hope, or pray for a scene to happen), you earn a packet of red light called Desire. When a Desire gets fulfilled, it turns into Karma, or the red packet turns into green.
Karma and Desire are the only two building blocks of one’s identity.
The scenes have already taken place. The experiences have already been had. The packets of Karma-Desire required to live a scene are available in the tunnel where it is playing.
In order to live this scene, you need to become something. You need to put on an identity. You need to wear the outfit of the Karma-Desire.
When this scene ends, you will have a choice—get off the T-strings and return to the state of nothingness or stay on them and live the next scene.
why it is so difficult to get off the T-strings once I get on them,’ you wonder. To understand that, you need to see the universe in two parts: The inner world and the outer world.
The inner world is basically the maze of Shunya Tunnels where the following things exist: The packets of red and green light (Karma- Desire), the T-strings which pass through the tunnels, and the fluid of Space which acts like the walls of the tunnels and forms the screens where the scenes are played. You, the nothingness, embark upon the T-strings, the packets of red and green light accumulate on you and give you a body of light, and then you live the scenes as you slide on the T-strings. The outer world is the world where the characters of the scenes exist. All the scenes have already

If you can return to nothingness after living each scene, you are not an ordinary soul. You are a Deva, a god.
An ordinary soul forgets about the inner world and gets attached to the outer world immediately after starting to live a scene.
You have the freewill to live any scene you want, but not to create or alter a scene.
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.
The number of T-strings a soul owns, among other numerous things, reflects its progress on the path of devotion. (Any path that takes a soul towards its liberation, Moksha, falls in one of the three categories: The devotion; the knowledge; the mixture of devotion and knowledge.)
Love liberates a person, but love infested with attachment does the opposite.
Desire sprouts from imaginations and imaginations get triggered by the external world we perceive in different ways.
When a desire is not possible to be fulfilled in the Human World, it gets fulfilled in the Dream World.
‘When a soul thinks it owns the body, it is ignorant. And ignorance, as I said, is the invitation for the cursed souls.
The prayer will purify your soul, and you will be able to experience the new day without any interference of the cursed souls.
You can do prayers similarly at the beginning of a new week, a new fortnight, a new month and so on.
