Andbeing already, that, no separation isever possible.Who you are is never born, and therefore never dies.The body dies. All things in manifest 'reality'are in a constant state of death and rebirth.Death of the prior moment and rebirth of the next.Ranjit Maharaj (Niz and he had the same guru)used to say, "You don't die. Only the body dies,"which made no sense to me at the time I heard himsay it, because I firmly believed that I was the body, but now I know what he meant.Durga--- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
