nirmāna-mohā jita-saṅga-doṣā adhyātma-nityā vinivṛitta-kāmāḥ dvandvair vimuktāḥ sukhaduḥkha-sañjñair gacchanty amūḍhāḥ padam avyayaṁ tat

Those who are free from pride, delusion, and attachment, those who dwell in the Self, who are done with lust, who are free from dualities of joy and sorrow, not confused and those who know how to surrender to the supreme person, attain the eternal consciousness.

We can create a positive space in our causal layer to make our conscious energy into our reality.

na tadbhāsayate sūryo na śaśāṅko na pāvakaḥ yadgatvā na nivartante taddhāma paramaṁ mama

That supreme space of eternal consciousness, My consciousness, is not illumined by the Sun or the Moon, or by fire. Those who enter that space never return to this material world.

When the spirit is evolved it doesn't revert to a mental setup and root pattern that it transcended in the previous birth.

Here Kṛṣṇa says, 'Those who are free from pride, delusion, and attachment, those who dwell in the Self, who are complete with lust, who are free from the dualities of joy and sorrow, who are not confused, and who know how to surrender to the supreme person, attain the eternal consciousness.'

What wonderful usage of words! He does not say who have 'renounced' lust. No, because renunciation won't do. Vairāgya means beyond attachment and detachment. Rāga means attachment. Arāga means detachment. Virāga or vairāgya means beyond attachment and detachment.

It is non-attachment. Until the age of seven, we are attached to toys. By age eight or nine we are forced to be detached from these. By twenty, most people are complete with toys, beyond attachment or detachment to children's toys. With detachment, we might have renounced it externally. But the inner urge for it prevails.

That is why Kṛṣṇa uses fitting words: vinivṛtta-kāmāḥ, those who are 'complete' with lust. Nivṛitti is the completion you carry that leads to more and more completion.

In this state, we know what we can afford. We know it is there at our disposal. We don't possess anything, we don't own anything, but everything is at our disposal. We can use it or drop it based on the need. Life is also like a toy. If this is fully understood, you will live like a king, not an ordinary materialistic king, but an enlightened king, a Rājaṛṣi.

This is a tattva (principle). This is not for understanding. This is to be meditated upon. On meditating upon this technique, these characteristics will start flowering in you and give you a clear-cut idea about the causal body. Earlier, Kṛṣṇa explained ways to erase and complete with our root thought patterns, saṁskāras. Now He speaks on the creation of a proper layer. It is about reprogramming your causal layer with the space of completion.

Kṛṣṇa gives the essence of the most secret science, the science of completion and creation of space. He gives the technique for creation of the causal body. He says: 'Those who are free from pride, delusion, and attachment, those who dwell in the Self, who are complete with lust, who are free from the dualities of joy and sorrow, who are not confused, and who know how to surrender to the supreme person, attain eternal consciousness.'

When a desire is fully experienced it leaves your system. Welcome and accept the mind, body and being as it is. Many of us are ashamed of our body. We hate it. All body pains and chronic skin diseases arise out of low self-esteem and disrespect to our body. We would like to be someone else.

We would like to shape our body and dress like someone else. We stop staying within the boundary of our own skin, and fantasize about being someone else. Whenever we hear our name we think of our face, not our whole body, because we are not comfortable with our body. When we do not accept ourselves fully and copy someone else artificially, we can be beautiful at best, but never graceful. Grace comes from within.

For the next few days, watch your body with love. Feel comfortable. Our body oozes bliss all the time. Yet we feel only the pain. If we are relaxed with our body, our mind will not wander. Usually, when we are at home, our mind is in the office and when we are working, we wish we were at a party. Where our body is, our mind will not be. Drop your imagination and dreams, and be complete. Add friendliness towards yourself and others, towards their body, mind and being. Carry words that heal others. Carry your body in a way that heals others. Carry friendliness with you always. This is a spiritual process.

Carry the grace and goodwill of Lakṣmi instead of observing fasts and pūjā. The first time you approach others with friendliness, they may not receive you openly because of your past inauthentic behavior. Persist and persevere. Complete with the idea of impossibility. Complete with your self-doubt. Stand up powerfully. Don't give up on you and others. Don't stop even if others do not reciprocate. Carry on till others feel enriched and reciprocate. Complete! Create the space of friendliness towards your-self and others, and persevere. Lust will turn to love. Your being will be in Eternal Bliss.

Kṛṣṇa says, 'That supreme space of eternal consciousness, My Consciousness, is not illuminated by the sun or the moon, or by fire. Those who enter that space never return to this material world.' These words are not advice. They are for contemplation. Advice is the only thing everybody gives and nobody takes! Kṛṣṇa gives these words to program our Causal layer with completion. These are words to contemplate, to meditate upon. They are the hymns to be meditated upon. In the Inner Awakening program, participants are guided through a meditation upon darkness while working on the Causal layer. This darkness is not mere absence of light. It is Energy. The Causal layer of energy is the passage through which the spirit passes on its last leg before it leaves the material world. When the spirit is stuck in this Causal layer, one is in coma. One can be stuck in.

This layer for a long time. Those who go past the causal layer, this layer of energetic darkness, where neither the sun nor the moon shines, nor fire warms, progress onwards to the Cosmic layer and then to the nirvanic layer, which signifies true liberation. One can meditate upon this technique, upon this truth expounded by Kṛṣṇa, through the darkness meditation in some of our meditation programs. This meditation, which focuses on darkness, liberates one from the fear of death and the fear of loss of identity that causes the fear of death. Death is not an option. Death of the body is certain. Separation of the spirit from the body-mind is painful. When the spirit is such that it has completed and created the space beyond attachment and lust and is constantly focused on the Self, then there is no return for that spirit into another body-mind complex. Else it returns. Kṛṣṇa points out that the death of the body is a certainty, however, the death of the spirit is impossible. The spirit lives on. When the spirit is evolved it doesn't revert to a mental setup and root pattern that it transcended in the previous birth, that's all.

We must attain the state of non-attachment that stems from the space of completion, and which is beyond attachment and detachment. In this state, we know what we can afford. We know it is there at our disposal. We don't possess anything, we don't own anything, but everything is at our disposal. We can use it or drop it based on the need.
