Teachings of Babaji

1 December 1982
Question:
When there is a nuclear war and a bomb lands, say in Bombay,
all people, including devotees, will die. What do You mean by
"saving them through the mantra?"
Shree Babaji answers:
The fear of death is born with man, though this is the only
thing that he knows is certain to happen to him. Attachment to
material things make man cling to life. When you chant the Name of
the Divine, when you are one with the divine, you accept death.
While you are attached to life and afraid of death, you die with
that fear and that weight clinging to you. If you have attained
liberation you are free from death (you accept the inevitable). You
die without fear and by remembering the Name of God, your soul
leaves the body free of that fear and attachment. If you are reborn,
your soul is still free from that fear. If you die in "unity", you
are free from rebirth, unless you will it.
