Siddharameshwar Maharaj

They are victorious.

That is their victory day.

That day is the golden day.

It is the glass of immortal nectar.

Birth and death are gone.

The state of being an individual soul, or jiva, is gone.

Up to now, you have had the delusion of being an individual.

As soon as the concept of being a jiva is gone,

The concept of God, or Shiva, its counterpart, is also gone.

The illusion has appeared to be very fearsome, but it is really non-existent.

The result of self-knowledge is complete fearlessness.

Self-knowledge means that there is no fear of any beings.

That life which has no fear of any beings is a formless life and it is beyond even the transparent.

It is not a material form that is perceivable by our senses.

It cannot be destroyed by any experiments involving the five elements.

It is not even touched by the sense of having knowledge.

When the illusion is unreal, why should we harbour any fear of what will happen

In a dream, one may be afraid but upon awakening the fear is gone.

Similarly,

When one is awakened to one's real nature, all fear is gone.
