Immortality

Einstein met Rabindranath in 1930 at Einstein's home near Berlin. Among other things they had a remarkable conversation about nature of Universe. To Einstein universe was objective..that is, it exists independent of whether I or you or anybody exists in it. This is simple to conceive. After all universe was there before my birth and will remain after my death. Tagore's view, on the other hand, was that universe is subjective, Let us think about Tagore's view. The universe I know or feel is only within my consciousness. Without my conscious experience of the universe there is no other universe. This universe exists only within my consciousness ( so does your's). So universe is subjective. It is there because of our conscious experience of it. There is no universe without our consciousness. So both Einstein and Tagore were correct, isn’t it? Now if we take a little help of simple algebra, like a=b, we must admit that objective universe= subjective universe. That is, outside=inside. Therefore everything is One. That is what Upanishads say. You are the universe and the One. Not your body,but the eternal consciousness that dwells inside you. That is unborn and deathless. Since everything is One, it is independent of time and space because time and space means separation. If there is only One there is no time and space in it. It is eternal and deathless, So the big 'I' inside you and I are one and this is unborn and immortal.
