the cause was not physical； rather； the breaking of the adjustment between their physical and subtle bodies was responsible for it。
it is generally believed that yogis are healthy people； but the truth is pletely the opposite。
the truth is； yogis have always been ill； and have died at early ages。
the sole reason for this is that the necessary adjustment between the two bodies bees interrupted。
once the subtle body es out of the physical body it never reenters fully and the adjustment is never pletely restored。
but then it is not needed。
there is no reason for it； it has no meaning。
with the use of will power； simply with will power； the energy can be drawn inside …… just the thought； the feeling； 〃i want to turn in； i want to go back in； i want to return within； i want to e back in。
〃 were you to have such an intense longing； such a powerful emotion； if your whole being were to fill with a passionate； intense desire to return to your center； if your entire body were to pulsate with this feeling； someday it can happen …… you will instantly return to your core and； for the first time； see your body from within。
when yoga talks about thousands of arteries and veins； it is not from the point of view of physiology。
yogis have nothing to do with physiology。
these have been known from within； hence； when one looks today one wonders where these arteries and veins are。
where are the seven chakras； the centers within the body that yoga talks about？ they are nowhere in the body。
we cant find them because we are looking at the body from outside。
there is one other way to observe the body …… from within； through the inner physiology。
thats a subtle physiology。
the nerves； veins and centers of the body known through that inner physiology are all totally different。
you wont find them anywhere in this physical body。
these centers are the contact fields between this body and the inner soul； the meeting points for both。
the biggest meeting point is the navel。
you may have noticed； if you suddenly get into an accident driving a car； the navel will be the first to feel the impact。
the navel will bee disordered at once； because here the contact field between the body and the soul is the deepest of all。
seeing death； this center will be the first to bee disturbed。
as soon as death appears； the navel will be disrupted in relation to the bodys center。
there is an internal arrangement of the body which has resulted from the contact between this body and the inner body。
the chakras are their contact fields。
so obviously； to know the body from within is to know a totally different kind of world altogether； a world we know absolutely nothing about。
medical science knows nothing about it； and wont for some time。
once you experience that the body is separate from you； you are finished with death。
you e to know there is no death。
and then you can actually e out of the body and look at it yourself from outside。
questions relating to life and death are not matters of philosophical or metaphysical thought。
those who think about these things never acplish anything。
what i am talking about is an existential approach。
it can be known that 〃i am life；〃 it can be known that 〃i am not going to die。
〃 one can live this experience； one can enter into it。
but those who only think； who say； 〃well think about what death is； what life is；〃 may think about it a million times； may think about it life after life； but they wont know anything。
what on earth is there to think about？
we can only think about something which is known to us。
about something which is unknown nothing can be thought。
you can only think about that which is known to you。
has it ever occurred to you that you cant think what you dont know？ how can you think； how can you conceive that which you know nothing about？ we dont know what life is； we dont know what death is。
what are we to think？ thats why i say that whatsoever the philosophers have said about life and death is totally worthless。
whatsoever is written about life and death in the philosophy books is worth nothing； because those people have written it after a lot of thinking。
it is not a question of thinking and then writing about it。
except for what yoga has said about life and death； everything else that has been said is only playing with words。
what yoga is concerned with has to do with an existential； living experience。
that the soul is immortal is not a theory； it is not an ideology。
it is the experience of certain individuals。
only when experience is what you want can experience alone solve the riddle； 〃what is life？ what is death？〃 and as soon as you have the experience you will e to know that life is； that death is not …… that only life is； that there is no death at all。
then we will be in a position to say that death just happens。
and what this simply means is that we leave the house； the body we were living in； and a journey towards a new home begins。
we set out； leaving one house for another。
this house has a limited capability。
this house is a machine。
it wears out； it gets tired； and we have to go beyond it。
if science would have it so； it would be possible to keep the human body alive for one hundred； two hundred； three hundred years。
but that would not prove there is no soul。
it would only prove that the soul wont need to change homes anymore； that science had now worked out a way to fix the old house。
nevertheless； scientists should not remain under the illusion that by increasing the longevity of man to five hundred years； to a thousand years； they would have proved there is no soul in man。
it wouldnt prove anything。
it would only demonstrate that because the mechanism of the body used to wear out； the soul had to change it。
now； if the parts of the body could be replaced …… the heart； the eyes； the limbs …… if they could be replaced； then the soul would have no reason to change bodies。
in that case the old house would do …… it is now repaired。
but this doesnt even remotely prove there is no soul in the body。
it is also possible that in
