Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 People are afraid that when the ego or the mind is killed, the result may be a mere blank and not happiness. What really happens is that the thinker, the object of thought and thinking, all merge into the one Source, which is Consciousness and Bliss itself, and thus that state is neither inert nor blank. I do not understand why people should be afraid of that state in which all thoughts cease to exist and the mind is killed. Every day they experience that state in [deep] sleep. There is no mind or thought in [deep] sleep. Yet when one rises from sleep one says, 'I slept happily.' Sleep is so dear to everyone that no one, prince or beggar, can do without it.
