In that case, please let me help: 1. we were born to be somebody 2. someone's somebody 3. nobody's somebody 4. somebody's nobody 5. we were born to die and to be born again - ad infinitum 6. "we were born" is just what that seems 7. don't worry, be happy 8. there is no "we", no birth and no death 9. there is only Love so nothing really matters 10. I'll take the aspirin Now take your pick and be happy! Joy, laughter and humor, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That love could be called an illusion less than skin deep is something nobody has to tell me <S>. Hence, I wrote "Love" and the capital "L" does make the difference. Apart from that, I wasn't expressing myself within the constraints of Vedanta <s> But I like the way you're thinking Jano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
