Birth and death are mere illusions of life

What is life? What is Birth? and What is death?

Who is born? What is born?
Who is dead? What is dead?

The one that is born is just an assimilation of cells.

If the one that is born is just an assimilation of cells, then
The one that is dead is also an assimilation of cells.

If the one that is born is just an assimilation of cells,
then it is just an assimilation of cells, and
it has never existed.

If it itself has no existence, then
whatever the identity it has acquired,
does it really exist?

It has also no existence.

When the identity that it has acquired is removed,
then what is appearing as existing is again an assimilation of cells.
If it has never existed, then how it is appearing as existence?
Where is the existence for the assimilation of cells coming?
Where is the identity existing?
Is the existence of identity real?

The existence of identity is present only in form of thought.

If the existence of identity is present only in form of thought,
then thought is the root cause for assimilation of cells.

The moment the thought is removed,
the assimilation of cells do not happen.
When the assimilation of cells do not happen,
Birth and death also do not happen.
In fact birth and death have never happened.

If the birth and death have never happened,
Then what is Life?

Life is existing as is!
It is just taking a form, and another form,
and another form, and another form...
So, Life has never neither taken birth,
nor Life has ever died.
It has always and is always just changing forms,
based upon the thought processes, and
the identities that it has identified with.

If that is what the Truth is,
then, what is Life?
Life is itself, is the Life, that is existing eternally in different forms.

If that is what the Truth is,
then what is birth and what is death?
Birth and death are mere illusions,
which are created by the change of forms of life.

Life is termed as "prāṇa" in Sanskrit
Through prāṇayāma one can control the Life.
When one can control the Life,
then one can also control the various forms that Life is taking and binding us in the forms.
Hence, through prāṇayāma one can attain liberation.
