question 1
a friend has asked： you mentioned once that there is no other truth greater than death。
you have also said somewhere that there is nothing like death。
which of the two statements is true？
both are true。
when i say there is no other truth greater than death； i am drawing your attention to the fact that the phenomenon of death is an enormous reality in this life …… in what we call life and understand as life； in terms of ones personality； which consists of what i describe as i。
this personality will die； what we call life will die too。
death is inevitable。
certainly； you will die and i will die； and this life will also be destroyed； turned into dust； erased。
when i say there is no other greater truth than death； i want to remind you of the fact that we are all going to die。
and when i say that death is totally false； i want to remind you that within this i； within you； there is someone else who will never die。
and there is also a life that is different from what you believe to be life； a life without death。
both these things are true； they are simultaneously true。
if you take only one of them to be true； you will not be able to prehend the whole truth。
if someone says that the shadow is a reality； that darkness is a reality； he is right。
darkness exists and so does the shadow。
and if someone else says there is no darkness； he is right too。
what he is saying is that darkness does not have a positive existence。
if i ask you to bring me a couple of bags of darkness； you wont be able to。
a room is filled with darkness； and if you are asked to throw the darkness out； you wont be able to。
or； if i say； 〃if darkness is in there； then please bring it out；〃 you will be unable to。
why？ it is because darkness has a negative existence； darkness is merely the absence of light。
although darkness exists； nevertheless it is only the absence of light。
and so if someone were to say there is no darkness； he is right。
there is the presence of light and there is the absence of light； but there is nothing like darkness as such。
thats why we can do whatsoever we want with light； but with darkness we can do nothing。
if you want to remove darkness； you will have to bring in light； if you want to bring in darkness； you will have to put out the light。
with darkness； nothing can be done directly。
you are jogging along the road。
your shadow appears behind you； it also runs with you。
everyone can see the shadow； no one can deny it。
and yet it can be said that there is no shadow because it has no entity of its own。
the shadow exists because your body obstructs the sunlight。
when the light is covered by your body； a shadow is formed； when the sun es above your head； no shadow is formed because the sunrays are not obstructed。
if we were to make a human figure of glass； no shadow would ever appear because the rays would pass through the glass。
when light is hindered； a shadow is formed； a shadow is merely an absence of light。
so if a person says the shadow exists； he is not wrong。
but this is a half…truth。
he should further add that the shadow does not exist。
then the truth bees plete。
this means a shadow is something which exists and yet does not exist。
but with our way of thinking； we cannot see anything unless it is divided into two independent parts。
once a man was tried for murder。
he had killed a man； and those who had seen the crime being mitted had e forward as witnesses。
one witness said； 〃the crime was mitted in the open and there were stars shining in the sky。
i saw the stars as well as the murder。
〃 he was followed by another eyewitness who said； 〃the crime was mitted inside the house； near the door； close to a wall。
there are bloodstains on the wall； and since i was standing beside the wall； my clothes were also stained with blood。
this murder took place inside the house。
〃
the judge was puzzled。
how could both be telling the truth？ obviously； one of them was lying。
the murderer began to laugh。
the judge asked what was so funny。
the man said； 〃let me tell you that both of them are right。
the house was inplete； the roof had not yet been laid …… the stars could be seen above。
the murder took place under the open sky； but close to the door； close to the wall which bears the bloodstains。
the house was almost ready； the walls had been raised； only the roofing was not yet done。
so both are right。
〃
life is so plicated that even the things we find contradictory in it turn out to be right。
life is highly plex。
life is not the way we think it is …… it contains many contradictions； it is very vast。
in one sense； death is the greatest truth …… because the way we are living will e to an end； we will die the way we are； and the framework we have created will also be destroyed。
those we see as constituting our whole world …… wife； husband； son； father； friend …… they will all die。
and yet death is a falsehood； because there is someone who dwells inside the son who is not the son and who will never die。
there is someone who dwells inside the father who is not the father and who will never die。
the father； of course； will die； but there is someone within him besides …… different from the father； separate； more than any relative …… who will never die。
the body will die but there is someone within the body who never dies。
both these things are simultaneously true。
so both these things need to be kept in mind to understand the nature of death。
