If you’ve been reading the posts here at Inner Oasis, or attending events at the Inner Oasis Center for Awakening, you probably know this is kind of a trick question. First, You don’t die. But forms come in and out of existence, so for practical purposes we could say that the body you inhabit is born and dies.
I had the great fortune to be with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in France when he was asked, “Where does an enlightened person go when they die?” I’ve always loved his response. Maharishi explained,
“Like a glass of water in the ocean. When the glass breaks, where does the water go? It doesn’t go anywhere. It simply ceases to be located.”
Of course, you Are enlightened, Whole, you simply have a strong habit of dreaming that you are not. And You are pure consciousness expressing in a unique way, spiritualizing matter by existing in a body here. Thank You for that !
So, you are not going anywhere. You already Are Everywhere.
