Life is one
A spiritual discourse on the nature of life, the soul, and non-dual consciousness.
"Life is ever life. Death is ever death. So we are life, and we will always be life. But that is what we call life. So our body is just like we change the dress."
"Within you is the ocean of immortality."
A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, using the day's rain as a starting point to explore profound themes of eternal life and the self. He explains the illusory nature of death, the layered nature of existence through the five kośas (sheaths), and the journey of the soul using analogies of water cycles and onions. He discusses the concepts of jīva, ātmā, and paramātmā, the principle of yoga as union, and concludes with a parable about resolving negativity to ultimately merge into the ocean of immortality.
