A true devotee, by abiding in the knowledge ‘I am’, transcends the
experience of death and attains immortality.
Who
is a true devotee?
The
one who not only understands the ‘I am’, but also abides in it
without swerving from it
for
even a moment over a prolonged period of time.
He
and only he who has done this ‘Sadhana’ (practice) with complete
devotion is a true devotee.
A
moment of ripening is bound to come and he will transcend the ‘I
am’, then he will know no
death
and will attain immortality.
It must be understood that it is the ‘I am’ that is born and dies.
You
are the Absolute, apart from the ‘I am’, and know neither of these.
