A Gnani will never say we are not born; we are not going to die. Only to the mediocre who nod their head, he will say this to inspire them to think of the formless true identity, which is birthless, deathless.
Thus, it is wrong to say we are not born and we do not die by limiting the Self to the physical entity. If one limits the Self to the physical entity alone, one gets only a half-truth. Consciousness, which is the true Self, pervades all the three states, as their formless substance and witness.
The formless substance and witness, which is our true Self (true identity). Without knowing the true Self-mere saying, we are not born, we do not die is not the knowledge, that has come from depth, it is mere bookish knowledge.
Sage Sankara says:~ The world is unreal. He never said the body is unreal. He would have said only birth and death are unreal, but he did not say that he said the world is unreal. He meant the world, including the body, because the body and the world appear together and disappear together (waking or dream). Then we have to think, about what remains without the body and the world as reality.
How can the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation, which take place in the unreal world (waking or dream), can be true. The one, that is aware of the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation (illusion), is formless reality, which is the Soul, the Self.
The invisible unborn Soul is the true Self, which is birthless and deathless, but it is the witness of birth, life death, and rebirth (illusion).
From the standpoint of the birth identity, birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation theory are part of the illusion. The body cannot reincarnate, the body and the world are created out of the same formless stuff.
Until one views and judges on the base of flesh, bone, and blood (five elements), he will not be able to grasp the nondual truth. Thus, one must know from what standpoint, we are not born and we do not die thoroughly, just by hearsay views, it will not lead anyone to the nondual destination.
The seeker has to learn to view and judge from the standpoint of a formless witness (Soul). Then he will never have any confusion.
When one thinks deeply, then only the inner revelation starts and starts burning the dross (confusion/doubts). One has enough material stored in one’s subconscious by reading these messages in my blogs; all will start yielding fruit and start revealing when he starts thinking very deeply. This is the inner process, every serious seeker experiences.
The inner dialogue will start and one will start getting answers from the inner core of existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
