    Acharya ji seems to be a specialist in medicines. He gives in such a small video capsules the remedy for our chronic illnesses. Once taken fully, the disease is not found. :)

    Take a thing as thing and you will never get it. Take a person as person. You will never be unified with them. ~Acharya ji.

    You must live as the unborn one.

    Remain in that which remains unborn, and then there is no loneliness. But you are born, right? The moment you are born, you are away from your absolute nature, because you have started taking yourself as the born one. What else is loneliness? The feeling that one is stranded, that one does not belong. That there is a society to be had, a group to be had, a party to be had, and one is left behind. I choose this and I am lonely. I choose that, and I am still lonely! The one who is not born, won't die. And the one who is not born, won't have to live a life of loneliness. What does it mean to remain unborn? Obviously, the body has been born and that is why we are talking. What does it mean to be unborn, even though the body has been born? How to live a life of the unborn one? What does your physical birth give you? It gives you a gender, a body, a date of birth, a set of parents, often a pre-determined religion. Don't take these seriously. The more seriously that you take your birthday, the more seriously you are announcing to yourself that you are the born one. Avoid celebrating birthdays. And even if you want to celebrate birthdays, you must know who was born that day. You were NOT born. Somebody was born, happy birthday to him! You must live as the unborn one. All that which has come to you as a result of acquiring a body, as a result of looking the world as a body, has to be taken with more than a pinch of salt. This body is indeed lonely. When you have a headache, does your wife suffer? The body is lonely. Live as the body and loneliness is your fate. Live as the born one and loneliness is your fate. With your body, comes the family, the social status, the economic status, the education that you get, the religious indoctrination. Think of them as absolutes and you are doomed. Take your religion as an absolute and you are gone. Take your education as an absolute and you are gone. They all will deepen your trust into something that is fundamentally untrustworthy. There is so much knowledge and you use this to create separation, and all separation is loneliness. Take your beloved as the body and he remains elusive, distant. And the distant will be the most perceptible when he is right next to you. Take a thing as a thing, and you'll never get it. Take a person as a person, and you'll never be unified with it. A thing is a thing, when you are a person. The other is a person, when you are a person. Unfortunately, we think that fulfillment comes to the body. We take the body as the receiver of pleasures. That's a fundamental mistake. Kindly avoid it. If you take the body as the provider of fulfillment to you, you will have to depend on the body, you will have to give credence and weightage to the body. Then you will have to put the body in a very high pedestal. You think the body is providing you with something important. If you can't have real union with the beloved, then a minute of orgasm is enough. At least something is there for you. That's the quandary the born one finds himself in. The more pure the mind is, the more ambitious and far reaching the mind is. With purity of mind, comes an intolerance towards cheap compromise. One doesn't want to settle for the mediocre. One doesn't want to settle for the little and partial. But if the mind is occupied with things that are all little and partial, then it begins easier for the mind to settle for the little and the partial, even where the absolute is needed. If the mind is busy with all things little and little, then the mind loses all sense of the infinite of the immense. Instead of the immense, the little appears a convenient supplant. Life is only 70 years or 80 years, one can while it away, one can dream it away, one can sleep it away. Time is limited. You can recede into some convenient, hazy, way, dreamy escape. And the clock will keep ticking, and one day you will die. And you have had a good life. Fine. That's the hope of the ordinary man. You cannot force someone to accept the fact of his deep loneliness. There is no sensor left in him for anything deep. He cannot feel Truth, because Truth is deep. He has no feeling for love, because love is deep. So if loneliness, can somehow, be relegated to the depths of the subconscious, then loneliness too won't be experienced. It will there, but it won't be experienced, because it has been suppressed. For centuries, India said that deep spiritual knowledge is not for everyone. It is only for the one, who is really, really keen. Keen and qualified. Most people simply do not need any kind of spiritual realization. They are all right with the little, and if they are all right with the little, why should they be disturbed by spiritual knowledge. The Upanishads say that if you talk about wisdom with the underserving one, then you will earn vice for yourself. If you are the one who won't be comforted by anything less than the total, then the saints are for you.
