Shankaraja Arya: The self goes beyond Swar body, the prana, the mind, the intellect, and the causal body. He says as atman, as consciousness, I am perfectly all right. What can happen to me? Well, as a body,. no, I can understand the body is not doing well at all. It's going to be old and decrypt it and it will die. This straight away say, you are pure consciousness. It makes no sense.
