When you are at one with the Tao, you will live long and your life will be exempt from decay.
If you stay in the center and embrace death with your whole heart, you will endure forever.
You may bury my body however you please, if only you can catch me, and I do not slip away from you.
The soul, being immortal and having been born many times, and having seen all things that exist, has learned all things.
Whether or not the beloved is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.
Nothing can be undone, and nothing can be wiped out. Having been is also a kind of being, perhaps the most secure kind of being.
When you cease creating thoughts, you discover the deathless Self.
The nectar of immortality is tasted by those who drink the water of Self-realization.
Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end. There is existence without limitation; there is continuity without a starting point.
From untruth lead me to truth; from darkness lead me to light; from death lead me to immortality.
