hence； we call breath prana。
as soon as the breathing stops； the prana leaves。
several techniques are applied in this respect。
what happens when a person relaxes his breath pletely； allows it to be still and quiet？ slowly； the breath es to a point where a man doesnt know whether he is breathing inside or not。
he often begins to wonder whether he is alive or dead； whether the breath is happening or not。
the breathing bees so quiet one doesnt know if it is moving at all。
you dont have to control breathing。
if you try to do so； the breath will never be controlled …… it will try to force itself out； and if you control it from outside； it will try to force itself in。
hence； i say； you dont have to do anything from your side； just let it be more and more relaxed …… more and more quiet。
slowly； at one point； the breath es to rest。
even if it es to rest just for a moment； then in that moment one can see an infinite distance between the soul and the body …… in that very moment the distance is seen。
its as if lightning were to strike right now and i were to see all your faces in one moment。
afterwards； the lightning might no longer be there； yet i have seen your faces。
when the breath pauses for a moment； exactly right in the middle； then in that moment a lightning strikes within ones entire being and it bees apparent that the body is separate and that you are separate …… then death has happened。
so in the second stage you have to relax your breath。
in the third stage the mind is to be relaxed。
even if the breath is relaxed but the mind is not； the lightning will of course strike； but you wont be able to know what happened because the mind will remain occupied with its thoughts。
if lightning should strike right now and i were to remain lost in my thoughts； i would only e to know of it after it had happened。
in the meantime； however； the lightning has occurred and i have been lost in my thoughts。
the lightning will strike； of course； as soon as the breath pauses； but it will only be noticed if thoughts have ceased； otherwise it wont be noticed and the opportunity will be lost。
hence； the third thing is to relax the mind。
we shall go through these three stages and then； in the fourth stage； we shall sit silently。
if you wish； you may either lie down or sit。
it will be easier lying down …… this is such a beautiful beach； it can be put to good use。
everyone should make a space around himself and lie down。
it is all right if someone wants to sit； but the person should not control himself if his body begins to fall …… because the body may fall once it bees pletely relaxed； and then your controlling it will not allow the body to be totally relaxed。
so we shall follow these three stages and then in the fourth stage we shall remain in silence for ten minutes。
these three days； during that silence； there will be an effort on your part to see death； to let it descend。
i will give suggestions for you to feel that the body is relaxing； that the breath is relaxing； that the mind is relaxing …… then i will remain quiet； the lights will be turned off； and； lying down quietly； you will remain for ten minutes。
you will remain still； in silence； watching whatsoever is going on inside。
make enough space around you so that in case the body drops； it wont fall on anyone。
those who wish to lie down should make a space around themselves。
it would be better if you were to lie down on the sand quietly。
nobody should talk。
。
。
no one should leave in the middle。
yes； be seated。
be seated wherever you are or lie down。
close your eyes。
。
。
close your eyes and relax your body。
let it be loose。
then as i give suggestions； begin to feel with me。
as you keep feeling； your body will bee more and more relaxed …… then the body will be lying down； totally relaxed； as if there is no life in it。
begin to feel。
the body is relaxing。
。

seeing life as a dream
29 october 1969 am in meditation camp at dwarka； gujarat； india a few questions have been asked about last nights talk。
question 1
one friend has asked： one can die fully conscious； but how can one be in full consciousness at birth？
actually； death and birth are not two events； they are two ends of the same phenomenon …… just like two sides of the same coin。
if a man can have one side of a coin in his hand； the other side will be in his hand automatically。
its not possible to have one side of a coin in my hand and then wonder how to get the other side …… the other side bees available automatically。
death and birth are two sides of the same phenomenon。
if death occurs in a conscious state； then birth inevitably takes place in a conscious state。
if death occurs in an unconscious state； then birth happens in a state of unconsciousness too。
if a person dies fully conscious at the time of his death； he will be filled with consciousness at the moment of his nex
