"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

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Q. They say that choice is offered to us to enjoy merits or demerits after our death. Their succession will be according to our choice. Is it so?

Why raise these questions relating to events after death? Why ask, "Was I born? Am I reaping fruits of my past karma?" They will not be raised some time hence when you fall asleep. Why? Are you now different from the one in sleep? You are not. Why do these question arise now and not in sleep? Find out.

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
