This highlights the immortality of consciousness as it moves from one existence to another through the process of connection and perception.
हिंदी अनुवाद
अमर आत्मा, या आत्मा, जन्म और मृत्यु के चक्रों द्वारा बंधी नहीं होती; यह शारीरिक परिवर्तनों को पार करती है और अलग रहती है, अन्य रूपों से अदृश्य संबंधों के माध्यम से जुड़ती है। यह चेतना की अमरता को उजागर करता है क्योंकि यह एक अस्तित्व से दूसरे में संबंध और अनुभव के माध्यम से चलती है।
