The gross physical body is subject to Birth, growth, decline and death. How can you remove them from me, And say Atma is Self-illuminated ?
Bhagavana, I am subject to birth and death, I do not understand how you can do away with them. To say they are the attributes of the physical body and belong to it does not satisfy me, nor ain I convinced of it.
Replies the Guru.
Intelligence is non-dual, pure, Tranquil and one. Birth, And death are not possible for Self,s
Nor conceit either. Incomparable is he. .

That art Thou.' (Yourself is that intelligence] how can it be said to take birth and death? Therefore it is unrivailedwithout a second equal to it—and how Can you have a conceit that you are born and subject to death? Therefore by doing away with them you remove the rest of the six modifications and Self appears as subtle.
