On the evidence

Death is a release, birth a calamity and “I am the body” a fundamentally wrong idea.

Fully developed

The man is mature who is fully prepared to let go of everything.

The incidentals of birth and death

When consciousness decides to leave the body, to drop the whole mind/body apparatus, it does so spontaneously. No meetings are convened, permissions sought or variables examined. A breath goes out and doesn’t return.

Misunderstood

It’s in the nature of the mind to misunderstand things. Knowing’s not thinking.

And the truth will set you free

“When you realize yourself as less than a point in space and time, something too small to be cut and too short-lived to be killed, then, and then only, all fear goes.”
