The sage experiences that he is the body, just as the ignorant person does. The difference is that the ignorant one believes that the Self is confined to the body, whereas the sage knows that the body cannot remain apart from the Self. The Self is infinite for him and also includes the body.
A jnani does not feel oppressed by his body. Did those jnanis who lived in bodies and wrote sacred books cease to be jnanis?
The realized ones do not think or plan for the future. They let the future take care of itself. For them the future is in the present.
A jnani crushes the ego at its source. It rises up again and again, for him too as for the ignorant, impelled by nature, i.e. prarabdha. Both in the ignorant and in the jnani, ego sprouts, but with this difference: the former's ego is quite ignorant of its source, and is not aware of its deep sleep in the dream and waking states.
On the other hand, when the jnani's ego rises, he enjoys his transcendental experience with this ego, keeping his focus always on its source. His ego is not dangerous — it is only the ash-skeleton of a burnt rope; although it possesses a form it is ineffective. By constantly keeping our focus on our source, our ego is dissolved.

CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY

“Never think of yourself as sick. It’s the wrong diagnosis. Body may be sick, mind can be sick, but you, the Self, can never be sick. You can never be harmed or injured. You will come to know it, not just believe it.”
~ Mooji
Fear is a human emotion. If you have no thoughts there is nobody to fear. …You fear for one reason only. You do not understand who you really are! …There are no mistakes whatsoever.
All is well, everywhere, and everything is unfolding as it should.
~Robert Adams
Just always remember All is Well. You live in an intelligent universe that knows all about you and it can take care of you and meet all your needs in the right way. In ways that you know not of. Trust it. Have faith in that which you do not understand.
~ Robert Adams
One day you will find out that the 'I' does not come from anything, it’s mesmerism, there is no 'I', there never was an 'I', there is only I-am, freedom, bliss, consciousness, existence, they are all synonymous. And you will feel your Self not as a body but as omnipresence.
RA
Release the energy called love which has been repressed by the society, and release it unconditionally. Love is such an energy that if it is not allowed it turns into hatred, it turns into its opposite. Love is the source of all creativity, but repressed it becomes destructive.
~Osho
There is a mysterious power that looks after us. That power is Awareness, Self, Life, God, whatever name you give It. It is the foundation, the ultimate support of all that is, just like gold is the basis for all gold jewellery. And It is so intimately ours.
Nisargadatta
Don't be afraid of a world you yourself have created. Cease looking for happiness and reality in a dream and you will wake up. You need not know all the 'why' and 'how', there is no end to questions. Abandon all desires, keep your mind silent and you shall discover.
Nisargadatta
To say: I am only the witness is both false and true: false because of the ‘I am’, true because of the witness. It is better to say: ‘there is witnessing’. The moment you say: ‘I am’, the entire universe comes into being along with its creator.
There will be no cause for fear for one whose mind abides by the will of the Lord praying, "O Lord, let nothing happen according to my wish, let only Thy will be done."
Ramana Maharshi
You are not of the world, you are not even in the world, you create the world in your imagination like a dream.
Don't be afraid of a world you created yourself.
-Nisargadatta Maharaj
It is only when you fully accept your responsibility for the little world in which you live and watch the process of its creation, preservation and destruction, that you may be free from your imaginary bondage.
Nisargadatta
Since you are the Brahman, you lose your identification with the body; you are no longer a human being, as you identity yourself with the Brahman. You will see that you are not even the Brahman but the Parabrahman, the witness of that Brahman.
