And this conscious dying in Indian tradition is recognized to be a sign of enlightenment. I'm afraid of getting too sure of myself. I'm afraid of imprisoning myself with my habitual certainties. I'm on a journey like anyone else. Salvation means freedom from all your psychological and religious and cultural and historical conditioning.
True spirituality is freedom from fear, the fear of mortality.
It is also freedom from conditioning. If I say something rude to you, you're offended. And if I praise you, you're flattered. And that conditioning makes you a prisoner to every stranger you meet on the street. In fact, he recognizes that everybody's doing the best they can from the level of consciousness that they're in.
