Winning the Yama
Winning Yama is the Whole point
Guru instructs his pupils based on their capabilities and emotional intelligence. They understand what the vessel can hold now. A Guru ensures that his instructions to his pupil are ones which can be followed since he has traversed path himself before.
One day a devotee approached Sri Seshadhri Swamigal and requested him to initiate him and give instructions that he can live by. It is natural that people are spiritually inclined approach a Guru and request for initiation.
Seshadhri Swamigal adviced the devotee, Win Yama, you would win everything. Winning Yama, the death is the whole point. How is it possible to win Yama? All things born are definitely bound to die. Then how is it possible to win Yama the death. Is not impossible?! The devotee was perplexed.
Bhaghavan Sri Krishna, in Bhaghavat Gita, tells Arjuna, You are Unborn and have no death, You are Atma. Do not identify yourselves with the body which is nothing but clothing the Atma wears for experiencing the Karma and expedite them. The body is born, will grow and be casted away one day. But the indweller the Atma has no difference and dependence on this. Understand this realise you are Atma and not just Gross body. Realise your inner self.
Once you realise your Self, the Atman, you cease to be the body. Once you cease to identify yourself with the body and immersed in your inner self, you have won the death, the Yama himself.
Only the one who has realised his Self and ever immersed in the soul can say "Win Yama". Sri Seshadhri Swamigal is one who is ever immersed in Atman and never thinks of anything else.
