🔔 Beyond Birth and Death — Teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

What if birth and death were never yours?
In this profound satsang, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj reveals the timeless truth: You are not the body, not the mind, and not even the sense of “I Am.” You are the Awareness in which all of these appear and disappear.

This teaching cuts directly through fear, identity, karma, and reincarnation—pointing to your true nature beyond time and form.

Birth and death belong only to the body–mind.
The Self is unborn, undying, and ever-present.
