“Forgetfulness of your real nature is the real death;
remembrance of it is the true birth.
It puts an end to successive births. Eternal life is then yours.
How does the desire for eternal life arise?
Because the present state is unbearable. Why?
Because, it is not your true nature.
Had it been your real nature, there would be no desire to agitate you.
How does the present state differ from your real nature?
Truly, you are spirit.”
Sri Ramana Maharshi
