and when the doing has disappeared and you have transcended all control, then there is no life and no death, because life is of the doer, death is of the doer.
Now you are no more; you have dissolved. You have dissolved like a piece of salt thrown into the ocean dissolves, and you cannot find where it has gone. Can you find a piece of salt which has dissolved into the ocean? It has become one with the ocean. You can taste the ocean, but you cannot find the piece.
That's why, when again and again people ask Buddha, 'What will happen when a Buddha dies? What happens when a Buddha dies?" -- Buddha remains silent; he never answers about it. It was a very persistent question "What happens to a Buddha?" Buddha remains silent because Buddha appears to be to you -- for himself, he is no more. Inside, he is no more. Inside, outside have become one; the part and the whole has become one; the devotee and the God have become one; the lover is dissolved into the beloved.
Then what remains? -- love remains: the lover no more, the beloved no more, the knower no more, the known no more -- knowing remains. Simple consciousness remains, with no center to it, vast as existence, deep as existence, mysterious as existence. But nothing can be done.
When you come to this point someday -- if you seek hard you will come; if you seek hard you will come to nirvichara samadhi -- then don't carry the old habit of doing, then don't carry the old pattern of doing, then don't ask "How?" Then simply be loose and natural and let things be. Accept whatsoever happens; celebrate whatsoever happens. Chop wood, carry water, sit silently and let the grass grow.
