People believe in
eternal life because they believe that life’s beginning is spiritual, and therefore
eternal.
In our soul is the sign of eternity.
— William Ellery Channing
Our biggest desire is to live forever. But when we are
freed from this body, we will not wish to come back. Is there such a child who,
once born, would like to return to the womb of his mother? Is there a man who,
freed from prison, would like to return to it? In the same way, a person should
not be afraid about the future liberation from his body, if he is not connected
too closely with this material life.
— Tables of the Babids, a Muslim sect from Persia
A person is not afraid
to die only after he understands that he was never born, that he always existed,
exists at present, and will always exist.
A person will
believe in his eternity when he understands that his life is not a wave, a
period of time, but the eternal movement which is manifested in this life only
as a wave.
Those who believe
that their life has not begun with their birth and will not end with death find
it much easier to live a good life than
those who do not understand or believe this.
