What possible relevance does transcending > in TM have to do with dying Transcending is 'conscious' dying, though the body still retains its vivifying principles (pranas) allowing the soul (jiva) to re-enter it. In final death the 'silver cord' is snapped, severing the portal of prana resulting in death. In transcending the silver cord remains in tact. St. Paul said, "I die daily", even in sleep we actually die, temporarily (not consciously).
