When we celebrate a birthday, whose birthday are we celebrating?

Do we celebrate the birthday of one that dies every second ( and gets born every second ) or the one that never dies?

We have only two things –

Body – which is matter, always moving, and changing every second.

Eating and defecating.
Drinking and urinating.
Inhaling and exhaling.

Continuously, our bodies are changing.

Shrenik is not the same Shrenik when this sentence is over, as he was before it began.

When Happy birthday was sung, it was a different Shrenik, and one who blew out the candle was also a different Shrenik.

Shrenik changed in a few seconds.

Then whose birthday is being celebrated?

Let alone a year, every second brings a new Shrenik.

Our second component is our soul, which is life itself —the consciousness that never dies and never comes into being (Ajat).

How can we celebrate the soul’s birthday?

The purpose of this discussion is not to find an answer. Don’t try.

There is no answer.

The best answer for this is to stop looking for an answer (shut the mind) and go silent.

Walk away from Sansar, engrossed in a zillion such activities.

Go within, merge into the vast, mysterious consciousness.

The awareness, which is there, and yet is unknowable.

May this mysterious silence be the endgame for every sadhak’s spiritual journey.

That’s my ultimate wish for all – on “my” “birthday “.
