🌻. Transcending Death 🌻

Many masters and yogis have demonstrated how they can leave their bodies without dying. They link themselves to the thread of life and move out of the body with the thread of consciousness. 

A yogi can even remove the knot relating to the thread of life if he doesn’t wish to come back into the body. For him, death is only a transition.

Most people fear death and they don’t know how to leave the body. Many people are stuck in their bodies and can’t just let it go. 

In our dreams we easily step out of our body with the thread of consciousness and come back but this happens without our conscious control.

The wisdom teachings emphasize how important the knowledge of death is, and every individual should have this knowledge to attain immortality. In the East there are excellent scriptures that teach this profound knowledge of transitions. 

One of them is the story of Savitri contained in the Mahabharata. It deals with transcending death; it shows the way how we can leave the body and regain our original identity.

In his book “Savitri”, Sri Aurobindo, one of the great initiates of the 20th century, has given out in English the Vedic concept of death and transition. 

He had been working on this scripture for over 20 years, until his own transition. Sri Kumar calls it the Secret Doctrine of the 20th century.

Every day when the sun goes down a beautiful light spreads after sunset; it is called Savitri, the light in darkness. 

This light also shines before sunrise, and its message promises us, “Don’t worry about the darkness which is coming. I am here and will bring the light back to you.” Savitri is the safe prediction that after dark times light will come again as per the law of alternation. 

She is also the link of consciousness which brings us back from sleep to the light of the day.
