"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Find Out Who You Are!

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Do we go to Heaven etc. as the result of our actions?

That is as true as the present existence. But if we enquire who we are and discover the Self, what need is there to think of heaven?

Should I not try to escape rebirth?

Yes. Find out who is born and who has the trouble of existence now. When you are asleep do you think of rebirths or even the present existence etc.? So find out whence the present problem arises and there is the solution also. You will discover that there is no birth, no present trouble or unhappiness. All is That; All is Bliss; we are freed from rebirth in fact. Why fret over the misery of rebirth?

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
