No Birth No Death


You are everywhere in this universe. 
How is it then that I am born and I am going to die, and all that? 
That is the talk of ignorance, hallucination of the brain. 

You were neither born, nor will you die. You have had neither birth, nor will have rebirth, nor life, nor incarnation, nor anything. What do you mean by coming and going? All shallow nonsense. You are everywhere. … …

In reality you are neither going nor coming, you are not being born, nor going to be reborn; you are infinite, ever-present, beyond all causation, and ever-free. Such a question is out of place, it is arrant nonsense. 
How could there be mortality when there was no birth?
Swami Vivekananda, Jnana-Yoga, US
