Sri Ramana Maharshi
Death is only a thought and nothing more. He who thinks raises troubles. Let the thinker tell us what happens to him in death. The real "I" is silent. One should not think 'I am this- I am not that'. To say 'this or that' is wrong. They are also limitations. Only 'I am' is the truth. Silence is 'I'. If one thinks 'I am this', another thinks 'I am this' and so on, there is a clash of thoughts and so many religions are the result. The truth remains as it is, not affected by any statements, conflicting or otherwise.
Q. What is death? Is it not the falling away of the body?
Do you not desire it in sleep? What goes wrong then?
Q. But I know I shall wake up.
Yes - thoughts again. There is the preceding thought 'I shall wake up'. Thoughts rule the life. Freedom from thoughts is one's true nature- Bliss.
