Mother You said so ...

29 July 1957

When people want to put an end to their lives, they do not act rightly. Because, when they die, their lives and consciousness do not stop. Of course, the body dies. But the material vital and the lower mind and their emotions, sensations, desires—all lower things remain as they are. The body is truly the protection against all bad things because the psychic is there within it. In death people become more conscious of subtle and lower things.

For example, when people have nightmares, they see and feel all these horrible things. When the nightmares are dreadful and people cannot bear to see any more, at once they awake and re-enter the physical body and nothing happens to them. While, if they give up their bodies, they can never get any protection. And they suffer terribly because in the worlds of the material vital and the lower mind, there are endless indefinable sufferings and miseries and people cannot escape from these worlds and their movements. There they cannot get any protection.

People are terribly afraid of death and still they think of giving up their lives. But it is not wise. They are under the impression that after death they will escape from difficulties and find peace, but it is not true. In fact, when death comes, people should always remain in the consciousness of their souls; if in such an atmosphere they leave their bodies, then naturally their souls take wonderful rest in the Supreme Peace.

Of course, by meditation, concentration, devotion, aspiration, worship, love for the Divine and faith in the Divine, people become aware of their souls and after death they remain in that consciousness and their souls escape from all horrors.

When the psychic being decides to take birth, it is only to get various experiences and become perfect and finally take rest in the Divine Peace. But this Peace comes only when people surrender to the Divine. Nevertheless, the suggestions of the adverse forces will come constantly because the devil wants food—that is why he likes to do mischief and then he swallows people's vital being—not only this but in that world of horrors there are even worse things—nasty, dirty, ugly and violent. While here—in this world—people have difficulties and miseries and their bodies suffer but it is far better than the horrors of the ugly worlds.

People can do whatever they like when they have their physical bodies but of course there is one condition: they must surrender themselves to the Divine and let Him do everything according to His own Will.

When people revolt, react and think with their ignorant mind and vital to put an end to their lives, it is nothing but the most unwise and silly thing they can do. Naturally, they revolt against Nature and the Supreme Law.

Everyone has a will but it does not mean that they should use it in a wrong way; on the contrary, they should use it in the right way and whatever comes from the Divine they should accept joyously.

They must not think of death, but, if it comes, they must not fear it either. If they are conscious of their souls and re-main in the soul's consciousness, they do not feel anything when death comes. But when they are restless, violent, and not conscious of their souls, they always become miserable after death.

The body is perfect protection against ugly things but, if people try to commit suicide, they cannot get any protection and there is no end to their miseries—and no chance to get out of these miseries. For example, if people peel out the skin of their bodies, how would they feel? Exactly, in the same way, they would feel when they are out of their bodies,

People must not go against the Divine's Will and Work.
