Immortality is freedom from the
feeling
‘I am’, to have that freedom
remain
in the sense ‘I am’, it’s simple,
it’s
crude, yet it works!
The
feeling ‘I am’ is dormant at birth, it appears
spontaneously
say around the age of three. It is the
essence
of the five elements that make up the body
or
the food body.
The
body is a limitation, and as long as the ‘I am’
identifies itself with the body there is no chance of
freedom, and death is certain.
Eternity
or immortality is possible only when you
are free from the ‘I am’.
For
this freedom to accrue you have to be after the ‘I am’,
understand
it, abide in it and transcend it.
Judging from the enormous amount of spiritual literature
available,
the understanding, abidance and transcendence of the ‘I am’
appears
to be too simple and crude a ‘Sadhana’ or practice, yet it
works!
