That which is born must die; that which is acquired must be lost. Were you born? You are ever existent.

Devotee: What does Bhagavan think of the “lost soul” mentioned by Jesus Christ?

Ramana Maharishi:  Think what there is to be lost. Is there anything to lose? What matters is only that which is natural. Such must be eternal and cannot be experienced. That which is born must die; that which is acquired must be lost. Were you born? You are ever existent. The Self can never be lost.
