It is certain that we will die one day, but that we have forgotten this is total ignorance. It is not enough merely to visualise the ātmā and be engrossed in meditation. ‘Ākuti chiti chāpalyarahitā nishpari-grahāhā’1 – when one lives like this, one becomes a sadhu. And he is called a complete sadhu. Even after hundreds of millions of years this is what has to be done. Only then is the end attained. Footnotes: 1. 1. Akutichitichāpalyarahitā nishparigrahā; Bodhane nipurnā ātmanishthā sarvopakārena. - Satsangijivan 5/22/29 Free from innate desires to enjoy worldly objects, free from the desire to possess worldly wealth; expert in communicating spiritual knowledge, self-realized, naturally helpful to all people.
