Death is a difficult topic to talk about. It is believed by some
that just before death all diseases leave the body. The reason for
this may be that life wants you to go unto death with full
awareness. Now, not everyone has to believe in that. But the fact
remains that if you live your life with full awareness, if you have
taken risks in life with full awareness, if you have participated
in crisis (be it natural or planned adventure), you will die with
full awareness too.You must not be afraid to discuss death. Don't
get upright about it. Instead, let this knowledge help you to live
every moment of your life fully, because every moment matters.
That's what happens when somebody knows they only have a week left.
You can be certain that they would tell you that the most important
week they ever had was that last week. Everything is a million
times more meaningful in that final week. In death you have to
encounter this fact: that the body is going; now it cannot be
retained any more. The mind is leaving you - now you are no more in
control of the mind. The ego is dissolving - you cannot even say
'I'. You tremble with fear, on the verge of nothingness. You will
be no more.
Death as a phenomenon has always baffled mankind. No one wants to
die yet every moment we are dying. In fact the medical science has
proven that every cell in the human body degenerates and there is a
constant regeneration. This degeneration or decay is nothing but
death. In fact death as a phenomenon scares us because we have the
limited understanding of life. Death is an absolutely necessary
process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend. And
it is not there somewhere in the future, it is here, now. It is not
going to happen, it has been always happening. With each exhalation
it happens -- a little death, a small death -- but because of fear
we have put it in the future.The mind always tries to avoid things
which it cannot comprehend, and death is one of the most
incomprehensible mysteries. The following pages is the authors
understanding of death which is a constant companion of a
practicing physician as well as his readings about what the great
philosophers and religion has commented on this intriguing
topic.The topics are a part of collection of lectures taken by
theprincipal author during his discourses on the topic of
understanding death.
