Said the sage Sanatkumara to Narada:"Where one realizes the indivisible unity of life, sees nothing else, hears nothing else,knows nothing else, that is the Infinite. Where one sees separateness, hears separateness,knows separateness, that is the finite. The Infinite is beyond death, but the finite cannot escape death."-Chandogya Upanishad
