What is not Death?

Who dies? The physical body, the seed that germinated in the mother's womb came from father's sperm, and how and where was the beginning of this chain. innumerable bodies came into existence and degenerated, dissolved? - We just don't know. The 'Life' that continued through all these body was never a 'person', one thinks or tends to think. The 'person' one thinks one is, assumes appearance when there is this thought in the brain. Of course, there is also a consciousness that is not 'thought' but where-in the appearance and disappearance of this thought is perceived. Even in the absence of any thought, or in the state when as the 'psychology' thinks -the thoughts keep functioning in a 'sub-conscious mind', the consciousness remains intact. say in state of sleep, when after waking up we spontaneously say, "I don't know what happens to me during sleep". One never says "I was not there in my sleep". This is evidently the proof no one can refute or deny. This indicates the consciousness where-in the uninterrupted existence of one-self was perceived was present there along-with the not-knowing state of one-self. We can say, I existed, and though don't know in what form or shape. All my worldly recognition was lost while I slept. This means one / the consciousness that supports one's physical being is independent of form and shape, though the world and the idea of being a 'person', a body and the mind associated with this body is ever so a changeless immutable underlying reality. Because the world and this 'me' as a body-mind appear and disappear together, one reach at the conclusion and also realize that this consciousness is the very foundation and source of them.
So, what really 'dies' in 'death' of a person?
Is it not the recognition only of the world and a 'me' in this perceived world that one takes different from the world and recognizes as 'my world'? Is it not this recognition that comes to a final and ultimate end? And does not this happen all the time when one is alive also? Memory keeps on adding new information and deleting the old and this apparent 'continuity' causes the notion of a center 'me' / 'person' who is but just another thought only.
Even in this moment if thought stills for a moment, we enter 'timelessness' and is not all addictions are sought after to 'gain' this state of mind for a brief or comparatively a longer moment? Sleep is the way of nature, even a way of teaching us about this secret of 'timelessness'. Time ceases to be when recognizing / recognition is lost.
Realization of this fact is awareness of the Life / Spirit / where one is Deathless. Recognition is the only Death.This death has its turns but 'What is not Death' is the ground where this play keeps on rolling on and off.
