I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-Bible "Revelation 22.13"
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.

yourself to be?"

In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
