Death is a fiction of the unaware. There is only life, life, and life alone, moving from one dimension to another.

Only when you confront your mortal nature, the longing to go beyond becomes a genuine force. Otherwise, spiritual process is just entertainment.  

Irrespective of our nationality, race, religion, caste, or gender – we all come from the same soil, and we go back to the same soil.

If you gain enough mastery over yourself and determine the nature of your experience of life, you can also largely determine when and how you shall die.

There is no "this life", "next life" - there is only life.
