THE CREMATION GROUND mangaldhanram


It is the place where the gross physical body which harbours the supremely pure and divine life Breath is constantly offered to fire as oblation. Hence, the cremation ground is an extremely holy sacrificial alter. Here all the time someone he loves mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, wife, girl friend etc. He grieves at the separation from his loved one. Even the cruellest of persons is infused with detachments as long as he in the cremation ground; hence this place is detachment bestower by its very nature. This place is alive in its own right. But for whom? Only for him who is self aware, awake in his soul. Otherwise cremation ground employees also live there all the time. They bake bread on the sacred fire there, and earn their livelihood from it. For these employees it is simply a place of livelihood nothing else. The dogs living here eat flesh from the corpses, and give birth, and die in the end. They have no consciousness of this place.
There is no inherent importance in any place or substance. If anything has any significance it is the consciousness, awareness, the mind. As for the aghorees path, it is extremely simple, easy, natural and beautiful; there is no absolute need in it for these objects. All one needs in it is control over one’s tongue (sensory pleasure) and genitalia (sexual desire), unfailing faith in one’s guru and constant sub vocal recitation of the mantra given by the guru. A devoted adherence to this regimen will suffice to establish one firmly on the supreme state (salvation). The aghoreshvara (Bhagwan Ramji) has bestowed to us just this simple life style through his literature. Adherence to this primal and simple life style will gradually and slowly establish us in that state of being that was inherent in the human culture (Indian cultre) in its beginning.
