<p> In the night, if you look up, the stars become very dominant in your experience, but both the sun and the stars - and sun also happens to be a star - are very puny little things when compared to the vastness of the sky. Generally though, that is never in your perception. So, true existence is the vastness of the sky. The sun, the stars, you and me, are just small happenings, brief happenings really. <br /><br />Today, modern science is telling you that even the sun has a life span. It is going to burn itself out. As you are burning your life out, similarly, the sun is on fever and he is burning his life out too. Your normal temperature is ninety-eight point six degrees Fahrenheit or whatever; his normal temperature is some ninety-eight million degrees, but he also has a life span. He is also burning up. So whatever you see as physical existence is just a small happening. The true existence is the vastness, the emptiness that is there, the space. <br /><br />What you call a person is just like a bubble. This bubble doesn't have any substance of its own. The air was around. It just created a shell around it, so suddenly it has a different quality of its own. There are thick bubbles, there are thin bubbles, there are strong bubbles, there are weak bubbles, there are big bubbles, and there are small bubbles - just like people. Just like every other creature too, but when the bubble bursts, the substance that is inside the bubble, where is it? The air has reclaimed it; the atmosphere has reclaimed it. Similarly, a bubble is formed in the form of an etheric body, in the form of a pranic body, a mental body and a physical body. <br />The physical body we can shoot down any moment we want to. It is within our power to just cut the physical body in two if we want to, but the other bodies we are not able to cut. Only what you call as existence, can do it. <br /><br />What you are calling as the spiritual process is just that. It is a deeper way of suicide. This is not about killing the physical body. You are trying to destroy the very fundamentals of creating the body within you. You are trying to destroy the very fundamental structure over which a body can form. The physical body is possible only because of the necessary karmic substances that are there in the form of etheric, pranic and mental bodies.</p>
