WHAT IS DEATH ?

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

We never give ourselves time to ponder death. We want to forget everything about death. That's why we stay far from graveyards, which are usually out of our way. There are two issues: The incident of death that happens at the end of our lives, and psychological death. Real death happens only once, but psychological death the fear of death permeates our life. The idea and fear of death decides our entire life structure; It's controlled by death. Some philosophies believe in only one birth and one death, one life. That's why they are so materialistic. Whatever you have to enjoy, you need to enjoy now. The western world is so intense, so time conscious. Value of time arises from this concept of one life. Who knows whether there is anything beyond this life. Science is the by product of the idea of only one life.

Some philosophies say there is a life after life; there is no need to hurry; let's look deeply into the cycle of birth and death. Inner science was born out of this concept; whereas outer science was born in the West.

Death is not a simple incident; not just something physical. It's something far more, if it guides your whole life psychologically. Your entire life will be transformed if you experience consciously. You will become fully awake, enlightened. You reach your peak, not your end, at the time of death.

Why are we then so afraid of death?
Why do we feel frightened of this
word?
