There is one very beneficial point and it is very simple and straight-forward. There are three mains desires - desire to live, desire to acquire and desire to do. The stronger these three desires are, the more one gets bound to the world and there will be many obstacles in understanding the essential truth "vaastavik tattva". When this desire is wiped out, then the work is very easy.
What was shared yesterday, the desire to live will prevent one from understanding this point. There is nothing to be acquired or gained from desiring. Other than losses there is nothing beneficial. The point is that the number of years that have passed, that many years one has died, then it is due to the strong desire to live that this point is not understood. Now if quarter of the life span has gone by, then one is quarter dead; if half the life span is gone by, then one is half dead and when entire life span has gone by, then one is fully dead. Now, is there any doubt about this statement? Just as when water comes in a reservoir, but when the water is over, then we say "Water is all gone", similarly when man dies completely, then we say "he is gone". The day water was filled in the reservoir from that day onwards slowly and gradually it began to decrease until it was over. Similarly man is constantly getting over. Now what is new about this point? Then one can say this entire world is all-in-all moving towards getting over, ending, finishing.
In the Mahabharat, there is a dialog between Yaksh and King Yudhishthir. There Yaksh asked a question, that what is the most surprising thing? To this Yudhishthir answered -
Ahanyahani bhootaani gacchantih yamaalayam |
Sheshaah sthaavarmicshaanti kimaashraryamatah param || (Maha. Van. 313/116)
, "In this world everyday jeev is going to `yamlok' (death), then too the remaining people continue to desire to live here forever. What can be more surprising than this?"
"Ahanyahani" i.e. Daily beings are going towards death. How is it daily? Because the day one is born, that very day death is coming closer. Therefore the number of days that have gone by, that many days have surely decreased, that many days death has come closer. There is no doubt about this. Observing is daily moving towards, not observing. One day it will all end and one will not be able to observe. This world is every moment moving towards "non-existence" (Not Is). If we accept everything in the present itself to be non-existent, then at this very moment one can realize the essential truth, knowledge of Brahma (divinity) "brahm gyaan", knowledge of truth "tattva gyaan", liberation "mukti" and Self Realization "atma-shaakshaatkaar".
