This is what you think of as death, that one day you will suddenly disappear, your body will be taken and burnt or cremated or buried disposed. After that you won't exist in the form you are existing now, that is what is, actual incident you call it as death. It has no significance.

HOW TO ACTUALLY

VIEW 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.

You might be thinking “No, that means too much”. The incident really has no significance at all. Changing your body happens so regularly in your life, it has no significance. Body changing has no significance. It is regular phenomena;

WHAT IS THAT MAKES DEATH SO FRIGHTENING, FEARFUL?

It is cleaning of all the memory.
There is only one thing in the
death, actually happening which
you are not seeing during the life;
that is you forgetting the whole
memory, cleaning of all memories,
that is the beauty of death, never try
to demystify that because just like
once in a while you need stomach
cleansing, stomach washing, once in
a while you need all the memories
getting cleansed. You get the fresh
slate, you get the fresh life, you get
the fresh energy, you get the fresh
space.

A Small Story:

Once, in USA, a young lady asked the great

Indian monk Swami Vivekananda

‘What is life?’ Swami Vivekananda said, ‘Come

with me to India. I will teach you.’

She asked,

‘What will you teach me?’ He said, ‘I will teach

you how to die.’

The question is about life but the answer is about death! It seems strange! What Swami Vivekananda is saying is that if you know the secret of death, the quality of your life will be different. Your very understanding and attitude towards everything will change. We can actually use our lives to prepare for death. We do not have to wait for the pain of seeing someone's death or the shock of being faced with a critical illness to force us to look into the meaning of life.

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.
