Fear of Death

You may say death is the event that happens at the end of our lives. If death were nothing more than that, it would be so easy! But death is that which is happening every moment of our lives. Death changes the very quality of our life. It is not the end, but it is the climax of our lives – towards which our whole life is being oriented.

Why are we afraid of death?

We are afraid because instinctively we resist change and death is an abrupt change in life.

AVATAR COMICS Fear of Death

Death is nothing but a job change,
profession change or career change.
It has no significance. Just like you
change your jobs, change your career,
change your profession, sometime
change the city you are living in,
sometime change your spouse,
sometime change your house,
you just change your body.

Death is not a mere incident at the end of your life. It is a profound knowing. If you know how to die, you know how to live. Living and leaving are two sides of the same thing. Your life will be totally different once you understand death. When you conquer the fear of death, you conquer death itself, because death is just one more imagination. This comic presents a story from the life of our beloved Swami on how to overcome fear of death.

reminds me of something

Whether the
sword falls on
goat's neck or
my neck, it's
the same

So why fear?

Death is auspicious

We will also
leave the body
like the goat.

Death is your friend.
