Is there a rebirth? No, not at all. From the perspective of what you think as
your way of being, like your name, your family, your country, society, religion or
wealth, all these will surely cease to exist forever with your death.

is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.

great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
In this world, neither does a diamond take pride in shining nor does the stone
have any inferiority in being a stone. All the complexes spread across the world
are the creations of human brain.
Wonder, why does it take so long for the Muslim community to discard their
faulty policies with the changing times? If females could be accorded with voting
rights now in Saudi Arabia, why not 50-100 years ago?
