Something Beyond...

To be a living being is not the ultimate state;
there is something beyond, much more wonderful,
which is neither being nor non-being, neither
living nor not-living. It is a state of pure aware-
ness, beyond the limitations of space and time.
Once the illusion that the body-mind is oneself is
abandoned, death loses its terror, it becomes a
part of living.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj
