Letter 5 It means when this body is born we think that I am born or Jeev is born and when the body.ceases to exist we think that I cease or Jeev ceases to exist.
As you can see here that since time immortal. Jeev is in conjunction with Pudgal but does not become Pudgal. But because of one's own erroneous belief he considers himself to be Pudgal. And therefore one is grieved or sorrowful.
Then in such a state of affairs what do we do? Just leave aside everything in life ? No! First and foremost we should learn and understand the exact nature of 'l'. Who am I? What are my rights ? What am I capable of doing ? We must understand that I can only know or I have the attribute of knowledge. And there by we can correct our wrong conception, if any, about our own true nature.
I shall explain this with an example in your daily life. Mona will get married soon and will go to her new house with her husband and in-laws. There in the beginning everybody may tell her that she need not start doing all the work in the house immediately. But that does not mean she should sit idle or watch T.V. The secret behind it is that during this time she has to watch the ways of doing things in this new house. Find out different style, customs and procedures of this house. This is the training period for getting familiar with the new family's style. These same things there after are to be followed by her for the rest of the life and then she has to impart the same to the next generation.
Just like that we have to manifest our own Dharma that is Veetaragata. For that we have to know and understand the principles. Bearing in mind all these principles we have to proceed logically and rectify our misconceptions.
With love.
Your Mom.
