Where was One before the body dropped? "[T]he birth and death of countless beings takes place in the one infinite consciousness, as it were. They imagine diversity in this world-appearance and then they seek unity in the self. At the time of their death they imagine another state of existence within themselves which appears to them as if outside! Until the realisation of liberation, the embodied being undergoes unfathomable sorrow. . . . This is the fate . . . of all beings. That being who forgets his inseparability from the supreme self imagine his own notiions to be independent and utterly real and substantial. From one such dream he goes on to another dream until he abandons the false notion 'I am the body.'" -Yoga Vasishta (The Story of the Hundred Rudras)
