Deathless Self

Sage Vasishtha

One who knows the deathless nature of the Self is not afraid of death. Nor is he affected by separation from friends and relations. The feelings 'This is I' and 'This is mine' are the mind; when they are removed, the mind ceases to be. The one becomes fearless. Weapons like swords, generate fear; the weapon (wisdom) that destroys egotism generates fearlessness.
