Ram Dass Here And Now

CHAPTER

For to the One That Is Born, Death Is Certain

The self is indestructible, uncreated and unchanging. How can such a person slay any one, o arguna, or cause any one to slay? Just as a person casts off worn out garments and puts on others that are new, even so does the embodied soul cast off worn out bodies and take on other that are new. Weapons do not cleave this self. Fire does not burn him. Waters do not make him wet, nor does the wind make him dry. He is uncleavable. He cannot be burned. He is eternal, all pervading, unchanging and immovable. Therefore, knowing him as such, thou shouldst not grieve.
