CHAPTER 7 Causal Body

The causal body is associated with the deep pain that happens at the time of death that results in coma. The causal body is experienced in deep sleep, in deep darkness. Darkness is a beautiful energy we have been associated with right from our birth, right from when we were in our mother's womb.

DARKNESS - THE REJUVENATING ENERGY

We originate from the darkness of our mother's womb, and we also get rejuvenated every day in darkness when we fall into deep sleep, and ultimately, we disappear also into darkness at the time of death! Darkness is energy. In the vedic tradition, Mother Kali is represented as dark energy. Kali in Sanskrit means darkness.

Each and every one of us by our own nature has a layer of darkness around us. This body is called the causal body.

We should understand what happens exactly when we fall into deep sleep.

Whenever your body needs rest, automatically the mind is pulled down and inserted into the causal body. It is like a battery; when it is discharged, that battery is taken out and inserted into the re-charger. There is also a particular time for recharging. In the same way, after your excitement for the day, the mind will be automatically pulled, because it needs some rest. It will be inserted into the causal body.

In the causal body, you are in darkness, but you don't want to rest in darkness. So what do you do? You continuously jump around in your mind. When you fight with darkness, when you don't want to rest in darkness until you get recharged for that recharging period of half an hour or one hour, you create side effects which are called depression and worry.

Actually, depression is a natural phenomenon which is supposed to happen, which gives you the rest that you need. Nature gives you rest for you to get back your energy. If you can go deeply into depression, you can go deeply into excitement also.

Please understand: A person who can't get depressed can never get excited. If you know how to travel with the low mood, with the low current, then you will know how to fly with the high mood also! If you don't know how to travel with the low current, you will never be able to go to the peak of the high mood also.

Darkness is the causal body. It is the place where you actually get rejuvenated. It is the layer from which you actually receive energy. When you sleep, you feel so totally refreshed because you are actually inserted into the causal body, into the darkness.

Two things happen when you cooperate with the darkness: one is, you don't resist depression if it happens. Also, you will not create depression at all.

Be very clear: depression can never depress you if you simply depress the depression! As long as you resist it, it is depression.
