Quote
I am a soul. Soul doesn't die. Body dies." This is your belief, not your experience. The experience of being eternal is hard to earn. People try to strengthen their beliefs by defending them... They become touchy about the source of their beliefs (their holy books and gurus and gods). But no matter how much you strengthen your belief, it won't come even close to experience.

Juvenile lover’s mind imagines, “The one I love is in danger. I go and save her. She falls in love with me.” The beginner devotee’s mind imagines, “Some lowlife disrespects my deity. My deity is in danger. I go and fight for my deity. He blesses me.

For a migratory bird, there is one supreme truth, “Sky is the freedom.” If it enters into a room by accident, it tries to get out by flying upward. It keeps banging its head against the ceiling. It fails to find the door or windows because it firmly believes that freedom is upward, not sideways. Challenge your existing beliefs no matter how true they seem to you.
