CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY

Q: If I am infinite how did I become finite?

M: Analyze your words. You begin with 'I'. Know the 'I' first. If the question persists after that, you may consider it then, but not before.. 

The Self is here and now and alone. It is not new and something to be acquired. It is natural and per­manent. The term 'Self' refers to the unlimited, the infinite Self; do not limit its meaning. ...

The Self is eternally realized. If it were not eternal it would have to have a beginning. What begins must have an end. and is only transient. There is no use in seeking a temporary condi­tion. 

The fact is that it is the state of effortless, alert peace.

Effortlessness while remaining aware is the Bliss state.
