Steve, I agree substantially, although we still remain unrealized souls, so until we realize our immortality we still don the garb of lowly mortals.
Man must realize he is not a fleshly being. Nor should we categorize ourselves as Hindu or Americans or any other conception we may have of ourselves that is limiting and sense bound. It is wrong of us to say that we are mortals when we are essentially made of immortal stuff. It is truth that we are God's, and it is error to call ourselves weaklings. Only by realizing our oneness with God may we completely break our self-created imaginary limitations of accidents, failure, lack, dis-ease, and death. God has everything--health, efficiency, wisdom, love, joy--and to be one with Him is to have, as his own child, access to everything that he has. - Paramahansa Yogananda
