The young life is hopeful, daring, ambitious and restless. The innocence of childhood is lost but gives rise to strength of character, whether for good or ill. Marriage, raising a family, providing a house and other necessities seem tremendously important and urgent. They prevent us from asking the question, "What is life?"
The fruit hides the seed and hidden in the seed is the secret of life - death. The fruit has to be sacrificed that life may live. Yet there is no death -death is the shedding of the shell; death is the bursting of life out of the covering shell. The covering is hell and its destruction is liberation.
What is life? Life is eternal. Life is. And that which is is God. In youth, in manhood and in the state of coma, this eternal life, this immortal being, is the sole reality. Life is not born, it does not undergo any change. The differences we see are assumed and not real but they give rise to different attitudes, approaches, forms of behavior and different experiences which we call good and evil, pleasure and pain,hell and heaven.
Life is beyond all these. Life is God and in God there is no distinction whatsoever. When distinctions are overcome their effects do not arise. Rejoice. Life is!
