Not the Jnani

"The vital breath deserts the body, that flame is not there. You observe that. That observation occurs to You. The ignorant one at the moment of death is in great fright; he is struggling. But not the jnani; for him it is the happiest moment, the most blissful one.

But the fact is that you are going all over the place … to saints and ashrams and all that, collecting knowledge in your capacity of being an “individual.”

Don’t do that. Go beyond. This amassing of knowledge is not going to help you, because it is in a dream. This dream will repeat itself, as a human body, as so many other bodies, as an animal or as God, anything. That is not the point. Try to understand what is being said here. That only is the solution and will lead you somewhere."
