Who is born? Who dies?

It is the idea of birth and death that deserves to be looked at deeply. If what we call “me” is a thought, then its birth and its death are thoughts as well. What we call “objective” exists only at a conceptual level, like a dream, like a vision. Identification is the belief that this construction is a fact. It is not the world that imprisons us. It is the idea we have of it. What else is there to seek? Meditation does not create a new reality. It simply illuminates what has always been here. And in that clarity, it becomes clear that truth has no need of ideas. It blossoms when the mind is no longer trapped in its own constructions.
