An Appointment With Death

If man regards his things that is God as his own and the extraneous thing that is body- world as not his own, then he becomes at once liberated, there is not an iota of doubt about it. In the Gita where there are mentioned the traits of a “gun-atita”, great man that is of one who has transcended the three folds of nature, there he is spoken of as the one who is stationed in his own being and is equanimous in moments of sorrow and happiness. Such a man is a liberated soul. To expect 

Anything from outside are a big cowardice and a huge frailty of nature. This timidity of feebleness is a concoction, a made up thing; it is inherent in the being where is the weakness or difficulty in regarding one’s thing as one’s own, in being oneself and in regarding extraneous things as not one’s own.

What other people will speak of me or think of me is a fear which can cause great loss and meaninglessness in life. One should shed this fear away be courageous and bold. Will others not talk ill of us if we go on fearing about how others hold us in their view? Whether we fear or not, they will talk the way they like. Not subjecting us to the spell of fear in the view of other one’s opinion, it is always gainful to stick fast to our rightest convictions and to go along the path of truth and goodness without any sense of fear.
