When you see the dead bodies being burnt constantly you will realize your body is also going to be burnt just like that. Continuously taking decisions based on the understanding of impermanence of the world is Living Enlightenment. If all your decisions are constantly made based on the impermanence of the world, it is Living Enlightenment. If your cognition is established in the impermanence of the body, it is Living Enlightenment. Three months is too much time. Anybody will have their consciousness established in the impermanence of the body constantly. If your decisions are made from the impermanence of the body you live Enlightenment. Three months is enough time for you to catch, understand impermanence of life. If you are seeing the cremation everyday, especially day in and day out. That is why Aghoris still, first thing they do is ask their followers to go and sit in cremation ground where they will be constantly reminded about impermanence of the world, where they can constantly see kings and queens and priests and beggars ending their life in a same way. Death is the only thing which happens to everybody equally. You may use teak wood or sandalwood to burn the body, but you have to burn it. You may use sandalwood box or ordinary mud, but you have to bury it. You may build huge domes on buildings, but you have to bury it. Living in the cremation ground, seeing dead bodies being burnt everyday, living among the dead should be taken as a spiritual practice by every sincere seeker at least for 21 days. Because it makes your inner space understand the impermanence of your body and the world. Especially when you are young this practice should be taken, because when you are young, lot of your thinking, feeling, cognition, cognizance is penetrated by the concept of your health, handsomeness, beauty, heat in the blood.
Goydiya Dasa sampradaya Sannyasis, they overcome body consciousness by beautifully decorating it for the sake of Krishna. They say, “I have offered this to Krishna. So even the decoration he sees”. You can overcome body consciousness either that way. When you pour water and give bath to yourself, be very clear, you are cleaning it because Krishna may enjoy it. It's like cleaning the ground because Krishna will walk on it. When you decorate yourself, doing it because he will enjoy, dressing it because Krishna is looking. That is one way of overcoming body consciousness.
(16:19) But Aghoris, as I said, they only know one thing, simply do it. They only know one thing, simply do it. They straight, go and sit in the cremation ground, gaze at the dead body burning. I tell you, when you see a dead body burning, the cholesterol in the stomach dripping, every muscle burning, you will literally feel your body is disappearing. I had tremendous peace when I came face-to-face with My death and ready to go with it. Nothing else can touch. I tell you this should be even a syllabus in our Gurukul. Kids should do this as a practical lessons. Sit in the cremation ground, watch dead bodies burning, understand the emotions you go through and accept the death is going to happen to you also in the same way. I tell you, if this one thing is done to the next generation, they will become new generation. I have decided to make next gen as new gen. Next gen should not be the continuity of the old gen. That is why I am going to call my youth wing as NewGen. All the NewGen members should have passed through this one exercise. At least 21 days, sitting in some cremation ground watching the dead bodies burning from morning till night. I tell you, I want the New-Gen to be Aghoris, whether you are married or a Brahmachari, whether you are a Rishi or a Sannyasi, you should be an Aghori. No compromise in that. I don't want junky lipstick crowd around me; the handbag meditators. No. I want Shiva’s genes inside the jeans.
