Guru on Nostr: On the dissolution of the body, the ether (consciousness) limited by the heart ...

On the dissolution of the body, the ether (consciousness)
limited by the heart (hridayam) alone ceases to exist.
People lament needlessly that the Self is extinct.
When pots, etc. are broken the space within them becomes unlimited.
So also
when bodies cease to exist the Self remains eternal and unattached.
Nothing whatever is born or dies anywhere at any time.
It is Brahman alone appearing illusorily in the form of the world.
The Self is more extensive than space; it is pure, subtle, undecaying and auspicious.
As such
how could it be born and how can it die?
