FEAR OF DEATH

1.What is death? Death is the deprivation of life. When life ceases to exist in a living body, death comes into being. What is life? Life is something that is present in all self-moving things. A duck is a self-moving thing. But a stone is not a self-moving thing. From the biological point of view death is a destruction, but this not so from the religious point of view.

2.Some people do not fear death because they believe that death is just like house shifting. From a not so good house we shift to a better house. From a not so perfect world we shift to the perfect world.

3.Others do not fear death because they believe that death is actually not death as death is instantaneously replaced by life. The moment you are dead in one body you are alive again in another body. And this process would go on until you reach the perfect state.

4.Death is not feared because we believe that the SELF which is present in all of us is immortal. We solve this problem of death by proving that death is an illusion; when death does not exist, fear of death also does not exist.
