Stages of Understanding

In the first step of understanding we extricate ourself from the objects of experience and recognise that what we essentially are is awareness. In the second step we discover the unlimited, imperturbable, ever-present nature of this essential self. The third, final and endless step is to lead a life consistent with our new understanding.

A woman asks, 'If I am awareness, will I be able to feel and perceive the body after it dies or will I fall asleep and never wake up?'
