When life and death are seen as essential to each other, as two aspects of one being, that is immortality. (...). (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can. View quote
