 "The Breath of things is an immortal Life, but of this body ashes are the end. OM! O Will, remember, that which was done remember! O Will, remember, that which was done remember."( Sri Aurobindo)

After the experience, 'He,the Purusa within thee  I am', what  would be  the condition of  such a perfected Master atthe  time of  his  death?When the ego-centre has meged itself in the SupremeAwareness,  what would be its attitude towards the possessions like body, prana,mind, intellect, etc.? Such  questions  have been answered here by  the great Rsi. While  the Soul  is  immortal, the body  is  burnt  to ashes, after  death. A man, after  the realisation of Self, will  face  death happily,  and  his  only cry  would  be that  his  prana  should  merge with  theall-pervading air(Vayu) and  that  his body must  go back to the dust from which  it  has  come.  As  regards  his mind, he  cies,'May  you  remember  what you  did  in  the past, including the great  achievement, the Supreme experience.After all,  our memory is always about our own most  intense  experiences, and   it   has been advised to remember Om, the holy name of God, alongwith  what  has been done  in the past. Reciting 'OM'  will not come automatically,unless practised  intensely during life-timeby the devotee(sadhak).
