Ava ॐ on Nostr: Here I stand and if I shut my eyes, and try to conceive my existence, "I," "I," "I," ...
Here I stand and if I shut my eyes, and try to conceive my existence, "I," "I," "I," what is the idea before me? The idea of a body? Am I, then, nothing but a combination of material substances? The Vedas declare, "No." I am a spirit living in a body. I am not the body. The body will die, but I shall not die. Here am I in this body; it will fall, but I shall go on living.
— Swami Vivekananda (At the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago on September 11, 1893)
