Life and Death
Life
and death, as my teacher used to point out, are just different names
for different states. These are not permanent states. If we have to give
it a name, Life with a capital "L" is the basic reality. Ours is not an
inert universe, it's an alive universe; so what we call birth and death
are just temporary states, temporary transformations, names for our
true self at one time, and in one situation.
