DISPOSING OF THE DEAD BODY
<1>The best way to dispose of the dead body is to
wash it with water which contains disinfectant material, then put
some camphor in the mouth, and wrap the body in a white cloth.
<2>It
should be buried at least three meters under the ground.
<3>The way traditional Jewish people and
Moslems bury their dead
also is acceptable, which is very similar to the procedure above.
<4>The use of a decorated casket is not recommended.
<5>Only those who identify themselves with their bodies glorify
their bodies even after death. But as we know, we are not our bodies
and to identify the
self
with the body is indeed the first step toward becoming flesh and
falling into
ignorance.
<6>One of the reasons we cannot find any traces of
the
Prophets and Great
Souls in the past -- such as
Abram (Abraham)
-- is because a strong casket was never used to preserve the dead.
They knew preservation of the flesh or bones is not from the spirit.
<7>Also they would never put a sign on their graves
to identify them or to distinguish them from the rest of the ground,
because that also is a sign of glorifying the dead. <8>Erection of
stones was considered as an altar to the Lord, and only
God should be glorified, not men.
<9>However, the dead body should be handled with
respect as a part of the universe.
<10>If the death occurred while on the sea, the
procedure is the same but the body should be thrown into the sea
with a heavy weight attached to it. <11>If the death occurred in
space, the body can be thrown into space or be burned with no
procedure necessary.
<12>In the case the body is infected with some
spreadable and dangerous disease or if a person so desires, it can
be cremated.
DIVINE PATH
(Repeated After Collective
Meditation)
<13>The thoughts, love, and peace of
God will arise in those who
perform
meditation and/or
The Reminder twice a day or more regularly.
<14>They will become an instrument for His Will,
sacrifice all for
this ideal, surrender and submit unto Him, and become a universalist
at last.
<15>Also they follow the Fifteen Commandments.
<16>With these, they will become the Elects, win His
Grace, and reach their
goal.
Maitreya
Explanation of the Divine Path:
<17>The wording
above is indeed the same as the explanation of the steps of
The Greatest Sign
--
Om Nam Kevalam (ONK) sign -- or the
Eternal Divine
Path.
<18>"The thoughts, love, and peace of
God (
)
will arise (
)
in those who perform
meditation
and/or
The Reminder twice a day or more regularly. They will become an
instrument for His Will (
),
sacrifice all for
this ideal (
),
surrender and submit unto Him (
),
and become a universalist at last (
)."
<19>"Also they follow the Fifteen
Commandments:" Without a moral base,
meditation is an
impossibility. <20>Therefore those who want to benefit from
their
meditation should
follow
Yama and
Niyama
or at least the Ten Commandments. But by following the Fifteen
Commandments, a person will be following both
Yama and
Niyama and the Ten
Commandments together (and even more). <21>So for those who
want to become an Elect (Divine),
following the
Fifteen Commandments
is highly recommended (of course with a discriminating mind for the
welfare of the whole universe).
<22>"With these, they will become the Elects" or
Divine (
),
"win His
Grace, and reach their
goal ()."
This is the Essence of the teaching of Maitreya.
