How to Live?

The Creator blesses every movement of us with a pearl of wisdom. This morning when I went for a walk I met a friend. He asked me “ How to Live?”. I replied “Live but live if as of you are Dead”. He looked puzzled and asked me “How can I Live but simultaneously be Dead?”. I smiled and replied “Death while living is the non existence of the external world. In this situation nothing disturbs you . Then what is left within you is only the Self. Travel inward , live and experience the blissfulness of the harmonious existence of yourself with your self. ”. He could move physically forward but was at crossroads in which direction he should move to die and yet be alive. “This to this author is the Duality of Existence .”I am open to criticism and change of my opinion because very rarely the author is correct.😩🙏
