Ideally, thou shall not be born.  If the mistake is\nalready made, at least thou shall not die, so that you are not\nreborn.  Enlightenment is the key to this state.  This article deals\nwith the fear of death and provides a practice that will lead one to\na state that is beyond death.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The catch 20 situation with death<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When\nyou see death as the end of the known, it frightens you.  Whatever\nyou know, people, wealth, good, bad, whatever is known is coming to\nan end, standstill, that is why it frightens you.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>On\nthe other hand, are you happy with whatever is known and to live with\nit?  No.  Where is the gap?  Neither you are happy with whatever is\nknown, nor you are ready to give up.  See how we are stuck!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Understanding\nabout death will liberate you from this catch 20 situation.  Being\ncaught cannot be considered as living.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Two states in our lives<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Life\nis made up of two states; death and dying.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>Death<\/strong>:\nWhere your perception of the known ends, it is called death.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>Dying<\/strong>:\nWhere your perception continues to torture you, it is called dying.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nWhile\nyou are living, constantly dying is happening in you.  Many things\nwith which you associate yourself are moving away from you.  Many\nthings about which about you are afraid, is getting closer to you,\nall this is dying.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The sacred secret<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\nsacred secret about death that allows you to go beyond death is: <em>When\ndeath is staring at somebody else, decide to stare at him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Going\nback to the states, he staring at your eyes directly is Death.  You\nstaring at him, when he is staring at somebody else is Dying.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Why will this work?<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol><li>\n\tWhenever\n\tyou stare at somebody, even if he was looking at the other\n\tdirection, automatically his eyes will come and get fixed on you.\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tIn\n\tthis situation, his attention falls on you slowly.  Slowly both\n\tvision will merge.  You will have enough time to breathe, align, and\n\tsettle with whom you are staring.\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tDuring\n\tthe process of dying, the process of rebirthing is more known and\n\tavailable to you.  Your bio-memory can cherish the dying and\n\trebirthing in a beautiful way and transform itself.\n\t<\/li><li>\n\tWhen\n\tyou turn your attention on dying, and get the possibility of rebirth\n\tand transformation, you are removing the powerlessness in you when\n\tit comes to Death.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p>Upanishads\nuse a beautiful word, DHIRAH to describe a person who has the courage\nto stare at Death before even he stares at you.  If you are waiting\nfor him to stare, so that you can stare back, you won\u2019t be able to,\nyou will just close your eyes tightly and give up on you.  Closing\nyour eyes tightly and going through Death is giving up on you.  Don\u2019t\nbe a coward.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The goal is living enlightenment<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\ngoal of human life is not liberation at the time of death.  That is\ntoo easy.  While you are living you should go through the birth and\ndeath and be reborn.  Your bio-memory should enjoy the\ntransformation, your muscle-memory should enjoy the transformation,\nonly then you will taste Enlightenment, you will taste Jivan Mukti\n(Living Enlightenment).<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The\ngood news is: if you put your attention on Death, you will be\nliberated.  The great news is: you don\u2019t have to put your attention\non Death your whole life, just few days, put your attention without\ngetting diverted.  That is enough.  You will have liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Go Beyond Death And Dying - Kathopanishad\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TlztQ-5u3Yw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>See\nother Satsangs at<em>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\">http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlightenment needs to be tasted, enjoyed and celebrated while you are in the body.
