Chapter 2 - Unveiling The Self  Day 29 Get over death through these different specific disciplines of life. If you are sick, take particular medicines or try particular mantras (Avidya) to get over that. However, that's not going to give you immortality or bliss or liberation, but it is essential.  When someone is sick, medicine is essential but when they are healthy, then they look forward to liberation, freedom, something higher. Achieve immortality by Vidya, higher knowledge. Both have relevance.  That's why here they (Rishis) say that the Manifest has its relevance and the Unmanifest has its own relevance. When an egg and a sperm join, they become a cell. One cell multiplies itself and becomes an embryo and that embryo when it grows bigger, knows where the eyes should develop, where the ears, where the heart should be and it is all different.  The texture of the eye is not the same as that of the nail, that of the nails is not the same as that of hair...

Chapter 2 - Unveiling The Self  Day 30 There are no physical bodies for the Devas, they are only bodies of light. And (where is) the path to them, where do they establish themselves? It is in the mantras, sounds. See, it is one electricity that has become light somewhere, has become air somewhere else.  The same electricity is producing air when the fan rotates, somewhere it produces sound and their functions are all different. One electricity provides all this. If you say, "I am only going to use electricity for lighting, not for air conditioning", then you lose something somewhere and miss the point.  Similarly, there is one infinite Being, the Self, and That is what you are, but in you there are differences as well, there is diversity. Your eyes cannot be your nose and that, in turn, cannot be your ear. The eyes can only perform the function of the eyes. The nose can only do the function of nose.  There are such differences inside you. This is Sambhuti and Asambhu...

Question - Gurudev, how do we come out of bad habits? These impressions keep coming to us again and again. Please guide? Gurudev Sri Sri - To come out of bad habits, do more pranayama. It also depends on the people we spend time with. If you have too much free time, bad habits come to your mind. If you engage yourself in serving the society, these bad habits will go by themselves.

Question - Gurudev, what is the significance of chanting the name of God? In Maharashtra, it is said that if one keeps chanting the name of Vittala with all his heart, he gets all the benefits of doing yoga. Gurudev Sri Sri - We do it every evening in satsang, anyway. We are chanting the name of the Divine. Yes, as you by keeping on doing japa (chanting) come to a state of ajapa (practice of japa without the mental effort normally needed to repeat the mantra), you become calm and go beyond the chant, and beyond the name into a state of Samadhi. This is called Bhaava Samadhi. Bhaav Samadhi is a part, an aspect that should also be practiced. But without knowledge, bhakti (devotion) does not mature. Knowledge and devotion should go together.
