The Nectar of Immortality
When man goes beyond the length and breadth of the three qualities, tamas, rajas and sattva, he drinks deep of the Nectar of Immortality. The Sanskrit word for Nectar is amrita. Whoever drinks amrita becomes immortal in his spiritual consciousness. This Nectar can be tasted by great spiritual seekers and Masters during their meditation. You also, all of you, if you enter into your very high, deep meditation, you will be able to taste this indescribable Nectar. When you taste this ambrosial Nectar drop by drop inside your throat centre (not on the tongue), you will be transported into the highest Heaven.
