00:00How should we think about life after death in terms of the nature of time?
00:07Whose life after death?
00:09Mine, my ego or my I?
00:12But the ego was physical to begin with.
00:16And the moment the body loses its configuration, the ego is no more.
00:22So how can there be ego beyond the body?
00:26Yes, there is life after death, but then that is life with the capital L.
00:31Then we are talking of the universal life.
00:33Then we are talking of all the atoms and molecules and electrons and photons in the universe.
00:40That is life after death.
00:41You see, death itself is the death of the ego.
00:43And death means a full stop.
00:45The body doesn't really get born.
00:47The body is simply a reconfiguration of atoms coming from the soil and the air and all those places.
00:54So the body is simply a reconfiguration.
00:58The one taking birth is the ego.
01:02It is the ego that was not really there before the body.
01:06And therefore the very word death pertains not to the body but to the ego.
01:11And if death pertains to the ego, how can there be ego after death?
01:18So the ego emerged from the configurations of the atoms and molecules in our body.
01:25And what we call death is not a destruction of those atoms and molecules.
01:34They just get dispersed.
01:35But the only thing that really dies is the ego.
01:38Yes.
01:40And so I think clearly if the ego is only composed of those molecules and atoms of our body,
01:49then it's logical, it's impossible for there to be life after death.
01:53Yes.
01:53So in order for the ego, in order to be the possibility of life after death,
01:58the ego has to have something other than the atoms and molecules of our body.
02:04Yes.
02:04Which you say doesn't exist.
