Perverted ego finite into infinite

If humans are to be considered non-eternal, then how is it that they desire eternal existence, knowledge and bliss? If we are devoid of the attributes of existence, knowledge and bliss, logically we cannot express the desire to live in this world eternally, to attain complete knowledge and bliss. Beyond the existence of the physical body, we can directly feel the existence of mind, intellect and perverted ego. As we are of a finite nature, it naturally follows that our mental and intellectual capacities will also be finite.

The existence of perverted ego can be perceived by the presence of specific thoughts such as thinking that one belongs to this or that country; this or that religion; that one speaks this or that language or belongs to this or that group — whatever it may be. It may be questioned whether after death of the physical body, there is the existence of any such nationalist, religious or language groups — in fact, it may be pertinent to ask whether everything is destroyed or if there is the existence of a subtle body consisting of mind, intelligence and perverted ego or even beyond that, the existence of an eternal entity.
