So what is useful? The Source. Why? The Source is that which does not have to prove to you that you need a candle to see your undying nature. Everybody knows that “I will not die.” You do not need the sun for that, you do not need the stars for that, you do not need the body, skin and blood and eyes, for that, you do not need a person for that. You just need the one who is undying. And undying means unborn. So that which is the Source is free from taking birth. Why, then, will there be any fear of death, when the Source has not even taken birth?
