In my original state of unicity and wholeness, I didn't even know that I existed. And then one day I was told that I was 'born', that a particular body was 'me', that a particular couple were my parents. Thereafter, day after day, I began accepting further information about 'me' and thus built up a whole pseudo-personality, only because I had accepted the charge of being born, although I was fully aware I had no experience of being born, I had never agreed to be born and my body was thrust on me. Gradually, the conditioning became stronger and stronger and grew to such an extent that not only did I accept the charge that I was born as a particular body but that I would at some future date 'die'. The very word "death" became a dreaded word to me, signifying a traumatic event. Can anything be more ridiculous? By my Guru's grace I realized my true nature and also realized what a huge joke had been played on me.
The more startling illusion, therefore, is not so much the happening of an event known as birth-life-death over a period of what is known as time, but the acceptance of an objective entity which is supposed to undergo the experience of this conceptual event.
