Compare this Animating Energy to electricity.
It expresses as light via a light bulb.
The light bulb may consider his wiring as that which supplies the light.
When the bulb hears about this undying electricity, it may say, "yes but when this wiring inside me finally gives out,the light disappears and that will be the end of me."
If this lamp would see that the light orriginates in the electricity and not in his wiring,
he would recognize this as his true nature,
That what enlivens him and is not affected by the end of the lamp.

All I can suggest is to find out how real this 'me' is that might die.
The certainty that you are not the body has to come and burn away the doubts.
Find and recognize the electricity that 'lights up' your wiring. This recognition can not be given to you as it takes the 'you' you think you are away.
See if this 'you' that supposedly does the thinking can be found apart from thought itself.
See if there really is a you that does the thinking and the living.
If it cannot be found, then who is going to die?

As long as you believe yourself to be limmited to the body mind organism, instead of the Animating Energy,
you will be like the lamp and you will sell yourself short.
