Spiritual life is a growth of conscious consciousness. The body has grown and changed from babyhood to childhood, to middle age, to in youth, and middle age to old age and finally death. All of these are revealed by the consciousness, which isno born with birth. Does not come into existence with being born. It does not develop in school. And again, what i am saying is this is not a theory. You've notice that it's so. If you don't think its a fact and be honest.
Inspired by the 15th chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on the nature of the Self.
