We are all living with the delusion that death is imperative; that every person will die. But, contrary to this belief, Jesus Christ says in the Bible that we can become free from death and live forever:

That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:15

Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth in Me hath everlasting life. John 6:47

Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man keeps my saying, he shall never see death. John 8:51

A fact that is revealed in the Bhagavad Gita as well:

Having crossed over these three attributes arising from the body, the dweller in the body is completely freed from birth, death, old age and sorrow and attains immortality. Chapter 14:20

These scriptures have been read over and over again by mankind for thousands of years, yet no one could understand the real sense of the words contained in them. We could never imagine that terms such as “have eternal life” or “never die” or “completely free from sorrow, old age and death” literally mean living forever. Though all the holy books reveal the path for attaining immortality, Bible and Bhagavad Gita convey this message in simple words. However the entire mankind including followers of these two principal faiths does not know this path and that is why every person dies and fails to attain everlasting life

First thing that man needs to understand is that he does not commit any sin by doing any thing, that is, by his actions. God has said again and again that man commits sin by his thoughts and not by his actions. And this sin that one commits by thoughts is the cause of one’s death. Since death comes by sin and it comes to all in the world, all are sinners; there is none that is righteous as stated by Jesus Christ in the Bible:

Flee fornification. Every sin that a man commiteth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornification, sinneth against his own body. 1-Corinthians 6:18

Ye have heard that it was said by them in old time: Thou shall not commit adultery. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28

As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one. Roman 3:10

For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God. Roman 3:23

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned. Roman 5:12

The Bible first asks man to flee fornication and then says that every sin that man commits is without the body. It means that man commits sin by his thoughts, and not by his actions. Fornification is done by a person by his thoughts and he who thus commits fornification, sins against his own body resulting in eventual death.

That man commits fornification and sin by his thoughts, and not by the body, is confirmed by Jesus Christ when He says that a person who looks on a woman to lust has already committed adultery will her in his heart. It means that one commits adultery when one thinks of having sexual relations with a woman/man. It is not material whether one engages in sexual act or not, one commits adultery when one thinks of or desires sexual relation.

Who has not committed adultery in his/her heart by thinking of having sexual relations with a woman/man? None! And that is why all are sinners as declared by the Bible. It says that there is none righteous, not even one; for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

Continuing further, the Bible says that sin entered into the world by one man and death by sin and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned. Which sin was committed by one man that has continued to be committed down the millennia by every man/woman resulting in his/her death? The Genesis gives the answer in the very beginning and says:

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

When one regards some things as good and some things as evil he eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and commits a sin before God since all things have been created by God. Similarly when one regards men and women as good and evil, whatsoever they may be doing, one eats the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil since all men and women have been created by God in His own image.

Starting with Adam and Eve death passed on to all men since all of them started eating the forbidden fruit by looking at the things as good and evil. Before they started regarding the things as good and evil, Adam and Eve were righteous and they were free from death. They used to roam around naked and did not feel ashamed or looked at nakedness as evil. Once the seed of good and evil was sown in them, it started growing into the vast tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Bible says that human bodies are the kingdoms of God. Starting with the first thought of looking at these kingdoms of God as evil, if naked and good, if clothed, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil has grown to such vastness that even millions of books are falling short to contain this sinful knowledge. Man’s life span has been gradually reducing with the increase in the size of the knowledge of good and evil. From a life span of 800 to 1000 years during the time of Adam and Eve, man’s life span has come down to less than 100 years. And credit (or discredit) for it goes to man’s ever-increasing knowledge of good and evil. When man will cut this vast tree of the ideas of good and evil, his life span will increase. When he goes back to state of Adam and Eve before they committed the sin of eating the forbidden fruit, he will be freed from death and will attain eternal life.

It is possible for man to overcome death and live forever in the same physical form provided he keeps the sayings of Jesus Christ and follows the words spoken by Him:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. John 5:43-48

A person who loves his enemies, blesses them that curse him, do good to them that hate him and prays for them that persecute him is a true Christian, who will have done what has been said by Jesus Christ. Having become the son of God, like Jesus Christ, he will be freed from the ideas of good and evil. He will then be freed from death and will attain eternal life. It is not necessary to visit any place of worship or live a life of do’s and don’ts to become righteous and attain eternal life. All that is required to increase one’s life span and be free from death is to stop eating the forbidden fruit by not looking at the men and women as good or evil, friends or foes, holy or sinners but by regarding all as alike. This is the wisdom of God that will make a person one with God, like Jesus Christ.

The wisdom of becoming same to all beings was given not just by Jesus Christ but by all the prophets. Lord Krishna who gave His teachings in the form of the Bhagavad Gita says:

He who keeps the same intellect towards the good-hearted, friends, foes, holy also the sinner, he excels. Chapter 6:9

He, who neither hates nor desires, should be considered a perpetual sanyasi [renouncer]. For, Arjuna, he who is free from the pairs of opposites is easily released from bondage. Chapter 5:3

As long as one regards the people as good and evil, friends and foes, or holy and sinners, one cannot be free from sin and bondage. One can have the sense of sameness towards all only when one stops eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and starts regarding all beings as same – the Kingdoms of God.

The Bhagavad Gita says that all the bodies are embodied by the all-pervading indestructible, that is, by God Himself. All human beings are forms of God or they are themselves God, but they do not have the self-realization. The same spirit or soul lives in all the bodies but due to a delusion created by the ego, every person looks at him as ‘I’- a man or a woman, and fails to know that he is God and so are all other beings. A person who is freed from the delusion created by the ego will become same to all by realizing that all beings are God. He will be freed from the ideas of good and evil and will regard all as same, that is, as God. Having freed from the sin, his life span will increase. A person who becomes perfect like God will be freed from death and will attain eternal life.

Jesus Christ also said that all the bodies are kingdoms of God or all beings are God:

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? I-Corinthians 3:16

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? I-Corinthians 6:19

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10:34

Jesus Christ and Lord Krishna both said that a person has to keep the sameness towards all since all beings are forms of God or they are God. The person who hates any being hates God and remains subject to sorrow and death. As against this the person who sees the same God dwelling in all bodies, that is, who sees all beings as God and does not hate any being, he will be liberated from sorrow and death and will attain everlasting life.

Followers of all faiths have made the same mistake every time. They regard the prophet or messenger to be God but ignore the knowledge and wisdom given by Him. They fail to understand that it is not the name or form of the prophet but it is the knowledge given by Him, which is Truth and wisdom that is God. If the followers of different faiths believe the words of the respective prophets to be true and follow their words, mankind will become one.

A person can become free from hate and enmity either by believing as true the words of God and following those words or by the practice of the wisdom of Yog given in the Bhagavad Gita. The wisdom of Yog has not been understood by the world and that is why no person has been able to become free from death. Understanding of the wisdom of Yog has now become available since time has come for the world to enter a new age in the world. When this wisdom of God is understood and adopted by all the beings they will realize that they are forms of God or they are God. The world will then enter a new age where all beings will leave the knowledge of good and evil and be free from sin and death. They will then live in peace, harmony and oneness realizing that all are God.
