ABC, Always be Careful - the Dark of Night

You may be sitting on a soft cushioned sofa in a safe, air-conditioned room, but your heart may be burning with unspeakable anxiety, distress and fear. 
The body is akin to the cart and the mind is the horse. Now people give first place to the cart. The body and its needs are given more importance. This is incorrect. 
The sages have known the mine of bliss in the human heart, and have discovered methods to develop and excavate it. They have clearly spelt out that if Mother Earth (Bhoo-Matha), one's physical mother (Nija-Matha), the sacred cow (Go-Matha) and Mother Scriptures (Veda Matha) are revered, nourished and fostered and used as best as they should, then happiness is certain and liberation is assured.

We can say that we are sitting on a soft cushioned sofa in a safe room, but the heart may be burning with anxiety, distress and fear.
The last night felt also not okay and the reason was not as aware as the day before, it felt like I hardly slept at all. 
To get aware of the inner view and to see that a person we know and we believed to be spiritual, has death above the head, that is kind of awkward. It needs some thinking over it to understand it right. It was yesterday all day on my mind and it is still present today. 
The mind could get to all kinds of wrong conclusions. 
He mentioned that he did take care of dying people, but for me it was understood on a spiritual level as caring of someone who is dying or as hospital care.
But the reality of what it really was hit somehow at night in the inner view and it was not only one person but many and it was not about caring and comforting someone dying, but cutting short their life span. 
There are courses we can do to assisting dying people and some devotees do it as seva, it is possible to do it on a job base. 
I didn't ask him what he did, because I thought it was that type of care of dying. 
As I know now it was a wrong conclusion and at night in the dream the reality of his work was reflected with the right conclusion.
A guru takes care that we get to the right conclusion.

The picture showed not only death as dark, black person, but the people who died they were still present and for all the same picture, it was all dark, no light and the life span was cut short and it felt very violent. Even if it is done a nice way and people don't feel pain, it is still violence to make the body die.  
I wondered why it didn't go away, why it went on all night and came back again as soon as I closed the eyes.
We know that God is the doer and we have to get aware of wrong identification, giving it to him to get beyond ego and mind and that he will take care, he takes the Karma if all is him only.
If I think I am the doer, it is my Karma. 
That guy has no notion of that divine reality and for sure, he is the doer. He went in direction of Buddhism and emptiness and not God and love. He doesn't know what he does, he is identified with body and mind and therefore, he is not an instrument of a dark force, what he is in reality, but he thinks he is the doer. 
That explains that the people who wanted to be killed, it is suicide, but their souls are around him and that is why it felt like it didn't end. It was like one after the other was present inside showing his life span and how it was cut short, it was for all the same, these are human beings ..., souls, poor people, people who suffered that much that they chose such a sad way to end their life. 
For me it felt like always the same pattern, but as soon as I closed the eyes the next was present. 
Because of lack of spiritual awareness and not being careful enough, thinking he is the doer, it feels like those people are around him. They didn't go to God, because someone who is believing in God, they don't do that. 
As he thinks he is the doer, he took their life, they feel like present and that was the shocking reality. He is killing people, because there is no awareness that his job is killing people and he is just an instrument, he doesn't know what he is doing. 
If we know that thins just happen and God is the doer, he takes the Karma, but if we think we are the doer, the Karma is ours.
He has no God awareness.
I think he is the worst person who is doing that job, because he thinks he is the doer and every person he has to give the deathly medical care, is afterwards staying with him, because he is the doer.  
It feels we have to get to the right conclusion. 
When he said that he did take care of dying, I understood spiritual care of dying together with hospice care, not support of suicide. 
He had a spiritual inclination, but he has no notion about not being the doer. If he is the doer, he is identified with the form and he is gets the result. That is natural law. 
It was not that scared and paralyzed by fear, it was more kind of a shock to see it in the inner view, because I thought already myself if I should get that education to be able to take care of dying people. There is a couple, also Osho Sannyasins, they are giving courses here and it would be for sure interesting to attend. It would give life another spiritual direction, more practical. 
But getting ready to be able to take care of dying people is in no way about killing them. As I thought already to do such an education to go into that type of spiritual work, as we do hardly any seva otherwise and others do it as well, after getting in pension we would have time for it and it is a spiritual work. It didn't even come in my mind that it could be something else. 
I was on an all different place in talking with him thinking he was doing something good and afterwards the opposite, that was a shock.
The souls were present, one after the other, same story, lifespan shortcut by violent death, that is why it went on like all night, they were present in the same sad story.
It is the result of giving too much importance to the body. 
Old age can be very difficult. Suffering and sickness is not easy to bear. But anyhow there is for everything a reason and we should see life and not death. People have lost their believe, they don't believe in anything and also not in life after death or to get reborn again, therefore, they focus only in that very moment and body only and they think suffering will end, if they commit legal suicide.  

The sages have known the mine of bliss in the human heart, and have discovered methods to develop and excavate it. They have clearly spelt out that if Mother Earth (Bhoo-Matha), one's physical mother (Nija-Matha), the sacred cow (Go-Matha) and Mother Scriptures (Veda Matha) are revered, nourished and fostered and used as best as they should, then happiness is certain and liberation is assured.

Mother earth that is also farming and our physical mother. It is the principle of motherhood, that we also find in the sacred cow and in mother Veda. 
That are not the same roots in our Christianity and we are not really aware of it. It is not based on mother and down to earth religion. 
In Christianity it seems most children think of God as a kind of old grandpa in the sky, not of mother. 
Hopefully, with age there will be greater wisdom about the nature of our living, infinite, loving creator. But experience shows that it is the opposite, getting older they don't get wiser, but leave the church because they don't believe in it anymore. 
For Christianity it is still a question if God is an old man, or at least a male? While agreeing that God is not male, some tradition-minded Christians have taught that God is masculine. The difference here is that God may represent a kind of masculine spiritual principle, without being "male" in the literal sense.
But what Baba talks about it here, that is mother and the principle of the divine mother realized in our own self. 
It is self-experience and not just believe and it has nothing to do with a male concept of the Creator being different from our life and different from the self. 
The principle of non-duality is the experience of divinity and self-realization present in our own being. And because we are all one on the level of consciousness, we can get such insights and experiences, because we see inside the experience of the other soul in the reflection and the mirror of our own consciousness, because we are all one.
If it is about mother divine and a higher level of consciousness, it will be present as bright light and love and beauty and it will reflect in our own self and it will not be present as darkness and death and violence ... and cut lifespan. In all of that has been no light at all. 
Even the lifespan was no light, but just a long red line ..., only passion and body level, no higher level at all and cut short into darkness. 
It is just ignorance, body only, human who have lost their purpose of life and everything they should have lived for.   
Instead of being grateful for life and going to the end, no matter what, they short cut it, and the result feels like all victims of violent death. 
Baba said, 'ABC, always be careful!'
Such decisions are taken in the dark of night. If we would know what we are doing, we would never do it. Whatever the pain, we should never take decisions in the night, because we cannot see in the dark.
We have to wait until it is light again to be able to go on and make a right decision.
