“If
a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find
out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. He will discover that the
Self always exists, that the body that is born resolves itself into thought and
that the emergence of thought is the root of all mischief. Find from where thoughts
emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be
free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.”
Sri Ramana Maharshi
