[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 113914, member: 4990"] I kind of know that you've gone through these things, Narayanjot Kaur Ji. So here's another interesting thing being discussed. My, these guyz really know how to put the feelings into words, don't they? [B][URL="http://truesantmat.typepad.com/true-sant-mat---the-real-teachings-behind-sant-mat/2009/10/the-master-will-save-you-from-death.html"]The Master will save you from DEATH![/URL][/B] At Church of the churchless - Brian Hines has a post about cheating death. here's the link: [url=http://hinessight.blogs.com/church_of_the_churchless/2009/10/how-to-cheat-death-without-religion.html]Church of the Churchless: How to cheat death -- without religion[/url] Here, I am taking the same subject from a different perspective. Sant mat offers HOPE. In fact that is the whole point of sant mat. Why follow sant mat? Because if you do - the master will come at the time of heath and take you by the hand to some inner region and from there the master will help you until you reach Sach Khand. How can anyone resist such an offer? If only it was true! Of course someone could challenge me and say how I know that it is NOT true. Perhaps I am just a cynic and a non-believer. Perhaps sant mat really does offer the truth and perhaps I am just deluded. And maybe santa claus also really exists. Sant mat requires BELIEF - you must believe. If you believe - then you can convince yourself that the master will come at the time of death and take you by the hand. It's very comforting to know that you are taken care of. And sant mat also says - "You do not need to believe - just meditate and leave your body while living and get to the inner regions while you are alive - then you KNOW." So sant mat followers will say that they do NOT need to believe - they will see with their own eyes. Brian - in his posting says that we cannot know. The sant mat follower has to disagree because they will say that sant mat teaches that you can and will KNOW before you die. Then there are the scriptures. Bulleh Shah says "Bulliah asaah marna nahin, mar javi koi hor." Translation: Oh Bulleh - I am not going to die - let another die (i.e. the body) So will the master save you from Death? Each person will have their own answer. What does it mean to be saved anyway? Who is going to be saved or not saved? The soul? and if it is not saved, then what will happen to it? Saved means that the soul will go to Sach Khand and live forever with the big dude (Sat Purush). It will never take birth again (unless by choice to save others - i.e. help then to get to Sach Khand). Not to be saved means that the soul will be reborn in another body and will continue until it is saved.
