my birthday

came across this today, my birthday, said by Ramana Maharshi:

"You who wish to celebrate the birthday, seek first whence was your birth. One's true birthday is when he enters That which transcends birth and death -the Eternal Being.

At least on one's birthday one should mlourn one's entry into samsara. To glory in it and celebrate it is like delighting in and decorating a corpse. To seek one's Self and merge in the Self: that is wisdom."
