Once the consciousness has flowered, the body is nonexistential. It does not matter whether it exists or not. It is simple irrelevant’

‘Remember one thing: all ideologies are dangerous. They divide people. You become a Hindu, you become a Mohammedan, you become a Jaina, a Christian: you are divided. All ideologies create conflict.
