Questioner: I find being alive a painful state.



Nisargadatta Maharaj: You cannot be alive for you are life itself. It is the person you imagine yourself to be that suffers, not you. Dissolve it in awareness. It is merely a bundle of memories and habits.

~ from 'I Am That', chapter 99 - 'The Perceived can not be the Perceiver'
