The real person

Suppose you are meeting a person and the person is sitting right in front of you. Suddenly you begin to say that that person is gone and asking, exclaiming with people around 'where has he gone? He is no more here...' like that. People will laugh at you. They will say, 'Hey man, are you blind? or out of mind? He is there just in front as he was before when he began to talk and you are saying he has gone... what..!

It is totally meaningless, totally out of place. It doesn't fit in. You begin to seem instantly quixotic.

But why when a person is lying dead, when you say 'he has gone... he is no more....he just gone...' nobody is mocking at you saying, 'hey man are you mad? he is just here, just in front of you, just lying on the floor... why do you say he has gone... he is very much here... this is the person with whom you were seeing talking sitting....don't you see..

Yeah... this is his body... but he has gone...

Why baba... we have been talking only to this body... only with this form we have been doing business. And that person is very much here lying.

But his soul is not there.....

Soul ...? who is that? we have not seen him so far, not talked with that soul, what form we have been transacting with is very much available right here now. Why do you posit an unseen, unrelated thing as 'Soul' anew now in this instant and claim that the person was that soul?

A person whom we have seen with our very eyes we say 'has gone' -

A person whom we have never met or seen or talked we say that person was along with us transacting till now.

Lie after lie belying the lying down.
