Charity ~ an Unreal Cunning Word

You go to your relatively's house and stay there as a guest for a few days.  Can you donate the things and money in that house to poor people?  Is it charity? The earth is the guest house.  You are a guest and stay here for few years.  When you come here through the entrance gate called your mother's womb, you are just naked. You have no gold ornaments on you, no dress on you, no money or property with you.  What is yours that you can give to others?  Everything is common to all on earth left by our forefathers who once lived on earth as guests.  You are absolutely free to use and enjoy anything on earth being a honourable guest.  But how can you register anything on your name and say stupidly as it is your property. 
When the guests on earth called people produce surplus, some criminals take and reserve them as their property officially.  It is mere looting.  This leads to the category called poor people. Thus all rich men and billionaires on earth are great thieves.  A thief's help cannot be called as charity. 
Our forefathers have left the world for us as culturally and technologically as possible.  You have to leave this guest house still more beautiful, joyful, comfortable and developed for your great grand descendants.
Lift your soul from saying  ''it is mine'' to  ''nothing is mine''.  When the Exit Gate opens and death's call comes, every guest has to leave this guest house without taking anything with them.  Be a happy and free guest.  Why do you imprison yourself in the name of property and imprison others in the name of poverty? Why do you draw imaginary lines on earth and call them foolishly and ignorantly as it is my home, my country and my property?  Why do you pretend to be charitable man after stealing things as your property.

Heaven or Hell -not a place

Heaven or hell is not a place to enter after death.  It is a state of your experience.  When you are in perfect harmony with yourself, when you are yourself, you are the enlightened one, being ever blissful - then you are in heaven.  You are fulfilled having nothing to desire and never with a chance to get disappointed.
When you are fragmented in yourself, with desires followed by failures, expectations followed by disappointments, and eventually frequently haunted by miseries, you find yourself in hell. 
Silence is the passport to heaven, and Desire, the gateway to hell.  Meditation leads to peace. 

Aloneness - not Loneliness

Ordinary people feel loneliness and the Enlightened are in aloneness.  Ask the question who you are.  When you don't understand yourself, it means that you are away from yourself.  Almost all people except the few enlightened, are away from themselves and don't even ask who they are.  They always seek companions because they are always afraid of loneliness. Their companions are not merely friends but television, games, books, chat, etc.  They are engaged with something or other to get rid of loneliness. When they stop all such activities, when they silently sit without doing or thinking anything, they find themselves at home - that is aloneness.  They are themselves now - the Enlightened ones.
You may leave an ordinary man and an enlightened sage in a forest.   The first one will be afraid of loneliness, afraid of animals and have worries of food, shelter and other things needed for him whereas the sage will be in blissful being the Emperor of the Kingdom of Everlasting Silence.  He will witness that he is all and in all and he cannot have any companions  He is alone now not lonely.

How many blankets around your aathma!

The first blanket covering your aathma is your flesh and bones.  The second blanket around you is the skin of your body covering both aathma and flesh and bones. The third natural blanket is the hair on your body. The fourth blanket around you is the dress you wear -  except eyes the entire body is covered especially in the case of Muslim women.  The blanket you use while sleeping especially during winter is your fifth blanket.  How many blankets around your aathma!

The True Renunciation

One day in your life you go to a strange house where you find some ladies, gents and children whom you have never seen in your life, with whom you have no connection anyway.  The things at house look Strange to you.  You become the renounced when your own home, family members and properties appear to as mentioned above.
All your past and experiences and desires seem those of Mr. Someone as if you have no connection with them.  No binding is felt.  Even the earth you stand now looks the unknown planet you have ever visited.  You have nothing to think and nowhere or everywhere to go. 
The liberated soul with utter freedom float through the life undisturbed by anything.
People around you and the things you see appear passing clouds in the everlasting sky.  You, the eternal existence witness the visible as ever dying waves of the ocean.
