But, it remains a mysterious\nphenomenon as we have not paid sufficient attention to it.  The way\nto overcome the fear of death is to look into the phenomenon of death\nbefore it stares at you.  This article deals with the mystery of\ndeath and the need to inquire into it at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The greatest paradox<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Death\nis most mysterious and most available.  That which is continuously\nexperienced can never be mysterious; and that which is mysterious can\nnever be experienced continuously.  There is only one who is\ncontinuously available, perceived, but continues to remains as\nmystery, that is Death.  Here is a greatest paradox\u2013 death is\nconstantly available, perceived but most mysterious.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What makes you a Buddha?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Human\nbeings have gone up all the way to Mars and explore it, trying to\nanalyze stars, galaxies, planets, but they still do not have\nknowledge about Death.  Who is this guy who is constantly playing\namidst us and never lets the focus light, limelight fall on Him?  He\nis the greatest magician.  Constantly playing amongst us, picking the\npeople among us, and swallowing them, playing, running riot not only\nover our lives, even on our intellect; but still none of us are able\nto even look into Him.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>We\nhave penetrated planets, stars, galaxies, we have done so much, but\nstill death remains a mystery. He is not even letting any of us to\nlook into His eyes.  Those very few who dare to look into his eyes,\nwho have decided not to get distracted and diverted by his magic and\ndrama, those very few became Buddha and Shiva.  All Buddha did is one\nthing, when he saw the death of somebody, He decided to look into the\neyes of the Death\u2014\u201cWho are you? Till I know, I am not going to\nmove out of it, this is my first priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Surprise Death<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Buddha\nhad three questions \u2013 why old age, why sickness, why death?  He\nfound the solution, but still all the three remains in the world.\nEven now, there is old age, sickness, and death.  Then how do you\nsay, he has discovered the solution?  Maybe he found the solution for\nhimself.  It means: every one of you have to look into the eyes of\nthe Death.  Look into His eyes when He is staring at somebody else.\nDon\u2019t wait to look into His eyes till He stares at you directly.\nYama Dharma (Lord of Death) was staring at the old man, so Buddha\ncould easily stare into His eyes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Make the first move on death<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>So\njump and dive into the death to discover the secrets of Death, when\nhe is staring at somebody else.  Don&#8217;t wait until he comes to stare\nat you, then you may not be able to stare back at him.  Fools are\nthose waiting for Him to come and stare at you directly, then\nplanning to stare back at him. No.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nStare\ninto His eyes\u2014demystify him, try to decode him, understand him when\nhe staring at somebody else.  If you start staring into Him first,\nthen if he turns his eye towards you, that eye will be most\ncompassionate.  If you are waiting for him to stare at you, and then\nstart staring, it will be terrorizing.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Who\nmakes the first move? Are you going to stare at him first, or are you\ngoing to wait till he comes to stare at you?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The\nbeauty with Death is YOU have to look his eyes, nobody else can do it\nfor you.  That is the good news.  The great news is, by doing this,\nyou are set utterly free.  When you don\u2019t have any bondage,\ncommitment, assistance, support, you are free, you are completely\nfree.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda<\/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=\"Katha Upanishad, The First, Foremost Document About Death\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KE22ygzKPZU?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>Death is a very prevalent phenomenon.
