Q: When you say you are unborn or you will never die, would that be the same as saying nothing exists?

R: Yes, it is. Nothing as you think or as it appears, exists. It appears to exist, but so does a dream.
A dream appears very real.
But is there a creation in a dream?
Is there an end?
Everything just begins, and ends when you wake up.
The world is the same.

Q: You should not say nothing exists, because even "exists" is an idea.

R: It's an idea. That's got to go at the end.
In the beginning, when you're finding yourself, you realize that I exist. "I Am
That, I Am" means I exist. Same thing.

But then you find out who is the 'I' that exists, and you follow it through. And
that's got to go. Everything has got to go.

Now the average person will think, "If everything goes, what's left?"
What's left is Everything.
You are left, as your Self, and that's beyond explanation.

Then you turn back to yourself and you become humble, compassionate, loving, because you are aware that you are the whole universe.
And you can say, "All this is the Self, and I am That."

Q: Is that an experience?

R: That's an experience. It's beyond experience.
It's a revelation that stays with you all the time. That can be called Sahaja
Samadhi, when you abide in the Self all the time.
But that's ineffable, it's beyond words.

Q: The experience doesn't matter how deep?

R: There's no such thing as deep.
Deep is a mind concept.
You're either That or you're not.
