The Majesty of 'I'

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

(Delivered by Poojya Swamiji on 24 January 2016)

Volume 6  Number 15

Excerpt:

Electricity passes through a conductor. It lights up or it comes up in the form of a bulb, illumination. In the whole process, it uses the copper or aluminum wire for passing. That does not mean electricity is that metal conductor, material conductor. In the same manner, life is not the body. Life is what makes the body animate and vibrant. That life should be introspected over and understood. When you understand in this manner, while the body is a product evolved by nature – our mother shaped the body in her womb, finally it was delivered off. This point is correct, but in the body what remains and what counts is not the matter-energy part of the body. It is something entirely different from both - the spiritual presence. That spiritual presence is not delivered off by anybody. It is not also taken away by anybody.
