Killing the mind

They say when the Lord kills someone himself, he has no rebirth. Such is the teaching depicted in the Mahabharata too. If one sees the Lord as the consciousness (thats the Self in all) and the mind (that makes up the creation) as that someone, the learning still holds good. The entire path of spirituality is to end in manonAsha, with the consciousness killing the mind, thereby liberating one into that infinite brahmaN.
