If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after? What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the city of death.  What had death and a thick body dances before what has no thick body and no death. The trumpet says: 'I am you.' The spiritual master arrives and bows down to the beginning student. Try to live to see this!
