If one says that he cannot see himself dying because the self does not
die but sees others die...that is contradictive...for the self is only
one...it can be you "self" and someone elses. Either he sees self in
everything or nowhere...Just as Ramana says, "The doctor will tell if
your wife is pregnant or not...there is no half pregnant quarter
pregnant".
