There’s also a practical byproduct of religion and spirituality: you can live longer. Liberation and awakening are other terms used to describe this transformation.” - Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth In the teachings of Jesus, it is salvation, and in Buddhism, it is the end of suffering.
However, out of this insight into the nature of the human condition – we may call it the bad news – arises a second insight: the good news of the possibility of a radical transformation of human consciousness. In Hindu teachings (and sometimes in Buddhism also), this transformation is called enlightenment.
“Most ancient religions and spiritual traditions share the common insight – that our ‘normal’ state of mind is marred by a fundamental defect. You become one with Him. Ultimately, the only way to know about God is by letting your being merge into The Being, and then seeing what happens to you. This is universal consciousness, and the qualities of the beings who have attained this deep state are similar in every religion.” - Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul “This is how you know something about God. “He who knows only one religion knows none.” - Max Müller. “All religions are right in their own way.” Choose your own (religious or spiritual) adventure Now, take what’s left and live it properly.” - Marcus Aurelius, Meditationsĥ. “How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end! How stupid to forget our mortality, and put off sensible plans to our fiftieth and sixtieth years, aiming to begin life from a point at which few have arrived!” - Seneca, On the Shortness of Life. The secret of life is to ‘die before you die’ and find that there is no death.” - Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth 
“Death is a stripping away of all that is not you.If you want to be given everything, give everything up.” - Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell Version) “If you want to be reborn, let yourself die.To help, I compiled some of my all-time favorite mortality quotes. And, as Steve Jobs said, “Death is very likely the single best invention of life.”ĭeath can be a tough concept for people to wrap their heads around.
