Final Question 9

Six weeks before he left, he had a sudden fear of death. He needed to figure out what to do about it. So he looked inward to find out. He found that he was a deathless spirit and that his “I” was separate from his body. This was his great change – his awakening. He started neglecting his schoolwork, and began to meditate. His brother yelled at him and then he realized “that one who wished to live like a sadhu had no right to enjoy the amenities of home life.” He then decided to leave and leave everything behind. His truth was life. Maharshi found that everything that ever existed in the spiritual and physical world defines god.
