Going beyond needs

Saintly disciples try to understand the limitations of worldly pleasures and pain as temporary phenomena.

They see that the ignorance lies in perceiving self as different than God.

They understand that over the period of 88,00000 births, one creates lot of dirt and dust and char over one's soul.

This covering demarcates "I" different than "other" essential for worldly living.

"I" is perceived different, because of body. And, survival of body requires objects and subjects from outside world. Thus, one being dependent on others for survival.

This phenomenon converts everybody into a user, a customer.

To lure and satisfy this eternal customer, infinite needs and means of fulfillment are created.

To go beyond buying and selling, a true saint sees himself as lover of God.

A true lover of God thinks-eats-sleeps-dreams-needs God and whole-heartedly prays for His love.

Eventually, during last phase of his spiritual journey he can exist without food, water, shelter, warmth, money, comfort, sex, entertainment and, social recognition from outside world. His body is kept alive without any supply from outside including air. A true saint disciple can live without breathing in and out. His dependence on outer objects and subjects is cut off. He experiences total happiness-peace-calm.

He is alive in soul in final stages of Samadhi.

The whole process is certainly not an easy journey and it does not happen overnight.
It requires preparations from many many previous births undergoing maturation and lot many years of spiritual practice in his previous birth.

The disciple is tested for his single-minded devotion, at every stage.

He then sees himself as extension of God, not as body. He is beyond any need.
He works for the whole world under direct supervision of God and his Sat-Guru.

His body becomes a vehicle - an outer expression of God.

He leaves his organic body when time comes.

He remains however, alive in eternal existence and thus continues to help true seekers.
