The assumptions involved in your question, are what one dies to, Arvind. To point to a question that isn't based in those assumptions: " So, Dan, you are saying that every believing mind, conceptualizing as a self with a center, actually is not a center, and is not able to have an existence of and for its own? " To which I would answer: " This truth is clear, only when there is the dying to the hold of any attempt at having or existing as a center of one's own, including one's attempts to have a permanent being such as 'I AM.'
