Upanishad XXXVII - I Am Not This Body / मैं यह शरीर नहीं हूं

 

Nagna says:

I am not this body.

In the form of Bliss-of-Consciousness,

I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

नग्न कहते हैं:

मैं यह शरीर नहीं हूं।

चिदानंद के रूप में

मैं शिव हूँ, मैं शिव हूँ।

Journal of a Naked Poet XXVI - My Truth

As Nagna has said, truth is not always popular. Here's mine anyway, for whatever it's worth.

I believe that I have lived many lives. I have lived with evidence of this throughout this current life. 

I believe that the "spiritual" or "conscious" part of us survives physical death. There is also a lot of evidence for this. I do not say that we have "an immortal soul," which would be putting the cart before the horse. I say, rather, that we are multidimensional beings, living simultaneously on several different levels or planes (which in Hinduism would be called "worlds"). But those other planes do not depend on the body; it is, rather, the other way around. Everything is consciousness, and that consciousness continues.

When the body becomes non-functional, one of the planes, the physical one, becomes vacant. Sooner or later, the body will be replaced with a new one, so that the set of planes will again be complete. This is my view concerning what people commonly call "reincarnation."

This world, as physicists have discovered (rediscovered?) is an illusion. What really exists is only consciousness (or Consciousness).

Within that Consciousness, each of us is a multidimensional energy-personality-essence. Thus, I am one with my previous-life "selves," and we can communicate. We can do this in "real time" because in reality there is no time--it, too is an illusion. Distance does not matter either, as has been proven in the case of telepathy, because space is also an illusion. There is only Consciousness.

Since there is only Consciousness, we are all, in reality, One. As the song says, "One Heart, One Mind, One Love." It is only the realization of this that is difficult, and that is because of the illusion.

Upanishad XXXVI - He Has Lived Many Lives / उसने कई ज़िंदगी जी

He has lived many lives,

with their physical 

births and deaths.

He knows that the death

of the physical body

is not the end of consciousness.

He does not have to tell you this,

but he is telling you.

Nagna says:

Many do not remember,

many do not see.

उसने कई ज़िंदगी जी,

उनकी शारीरिक के साथ

जन्म और मृत्यु।

वह जानता है कि मृत्यु

भौतिक शरीर का

चेतना का अंत नहीं है।

उसे आपको यह बताने की जरूरत नहीं है,

लेकिन वह आपको बता रहा है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

बहुतों को याद नहीं है,

कई नहीं देखते हैं।

Upanishad XXXV - He Greets Us from the Past / वह हमें अतीत से सलाम करता है

He greets us from the past,

the present,

from the future,

and from every place.

There is no time,

there is no space.

All is here,

and all is now.

Nagna says:

He is Consciousness,

and we meet him

everywhere.

वह हमें अतीत से सलाम करता है,

वर्तमान से,

भविष्य से,

और हर जगह से।

समय नहीं है,

कोई जगह नहीं है।

सब यहाँ है,

और सब अब है

नग्न कहते हैं:

वह चेतना है,

और हम उससे मिलते हैं

हर जगह।

Upanishad XXXIV - Shiva is Shakti / शिव शक्ति हैं

Shiva is Shakti, and Shakti is Shiva.

Bodies die, but we do not.

The universe is multidimensional.

There is only Consciousness.

Nagna says:

Truth is not always popular.

शिव शक्ति हैं, और शक्ति शिव हैं।

शरीर मरते हैं, लेकिन हम मरते नहीं हैं।

ब्रह्मांड बहुआयामी है।

केवल चेतना है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

सत्य हमेशा लोकप्रिय नहीं होता है।

Upanishad XXXIII - In the Midst of Night / रात के बीच में

In the midst of night,

he serves the light.

Nagna says:

He is energy

and he is light,

manifestations of Consciousness.

रात के बीच में,

वह प्रकाश का कार्य करता है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

वह ऊर्जा है

और वह प्रकाश है,

चेतना की अभिव्यक्तियाँ।

Upanishad XXXII - Driven by the Breath / सांस से धक्का

Driven by the breath,

the serpent must rise

from the valley of the bulb

to twelve fingers above

the top of the head.

Nagna says:

KuNDalinI will awaken

and become your housemate.

सांस से धक्का,

सर्प उठना चाहिए

बल्ब की घाटी से

ऊपर बारह उंगलियों के लिए

सिर के ऊपर।

नग्न कहते हैं:

कुंडलिनी जगा होगा

और अपनी गृहिणी बनो।
