How to Become Immortal?

Antarman, the innermost self, desires to be immortal and wishes to preserve all the means that bring enjoyment and pleasure for countless years. These means include the body, senses, and the external world. As long as they remain alive, the mind receives fuel. Even religions have conceptualised the idea of living forever, and the science of Ayurveda has also described the concept of immortality. However, upon examining the daily thoughts, behaviour , and actions of human beings, it becomes clear that the desire for immortality is only a mental desire, and their behaviour contradicts this desire.

The behaviour of sensory and motor organs is entirely contrary to thinking. Everyone wants to avoid illness, but they have no control over their thoughts, diet, etc. They do not want to be sick, but they leave all their senses so open that illness is natural, and there is no restraint in the food that causes illness. Although it is not that they do not know that all types of food can cause illness, they say this to soothe the mind, "I am not sick yet, so why should I be careful!" So, should we assume that they will learn control only after getting sick? This is the statement made by the famous spiritual guru, Yogi Anoop.

If a person has developed a liver disease due to a habit of drinking alcohol for 50 years, do you think that person will give up alcohol after the disease? Probably not. Someone who has been addicted for so long will end up dying from the same alcohol. After a disease sets in, control can never be learned. This is because the body, senses, and mind are not trained by feeding them the disease and then teaching control. All of this is because life should be lived in balance. No habit is ever broken in such a way.

Therefore, in the science of yoga, adherence to the yamas and niyamas is considered very important. The yamas and niyamas teach control in the sensory and motor organs. Yoga science says that if there is immortality in the nature of a substance, how can it be made immortal? Philosophy says that immortality is the nature of consciousness, it is unchanging, it is the seer, it is the attainable.

In conclusion, to become immortal, one must learn to control their sensory and motor organs. They must practice the yamas and niyamas of yoga to achieve control. Immortality is not just about living for an infinite number of years, but it is also about living life in balance and harmony. The key to immortality lies within consciousness, which is unchanging and attainable.
