What is the connection between our thoughts, desires and immortality? Bhagawan lovingly explains, reiterating the importance of spiritual learning.
Desire
breeds wishes. Wishes create birth and death. The next birth is the
result of unfulfilled desires in this life! Those who have no trace of
desire for material objects can achieve the awareness of the Atmic
reality. In fact, the desire to know God, to love God, and to be loved
by God does not bind. When awareness of God dawns in all its splendour,
every worldly, sensual desire is reduced to ashes in the flames of that
awareness. The individual Self will turn towards the Universal Self as
soon as desire comes to an end and the Self delights in supreme peace (parama shanthi).
The Self must break off all contact with non-self, so that it can earn
immortality. You are a heap of thoughts. Your thoughts play a vital role
in shaping your life. Hence watch your thoughts and carefully welcome
only good ones! Spiritual learning (vidya) stabilises good thoughts in the mind and thus rises to the status of knowledge of the supreme Reality (Atma-vidya).
