THE BODY
In natural death, the body is
exhausted, so we leave the body.
In an accident, the body is damaged.
Naturally there will be tremendous
pain. But one thing: there is an
automatic mechanism in our being,
an automatic painkiller mechanism.
What happens is, the moment the
pain becomes unbearable, we fall
into coma. If we fall into coma,
we will not experience pain.
But the big problem is that we die
in unconsciousness when we die in
coma. That is the worst thing,
because we remain unaware of why
we took this birth, and we will not
be able to make the decision about
the next birth consciously.
