Perhaps you have read in books of Eastern philosophy the words nirvana and mukti, and you have become frightened! Nirvana means to become nothing. You may say, "I do not want to become nothing." Everyone wants to become something, no one wants to become nothing. Those who want to be something -- although that can be taken for nothing! -- are so frightened of that idea. I have seen hundreds and thousands who were interested in Eastern philosophy, but when it came to being nothing they found it a difficult idea to grasp and they found it frightening to think, "One day this 'I' shall be nothing."
