If Life is a Question, Answer is Death.

Our life is made by the death of others.
- Leonardo da Vinci

Birth and death are just doors to enter in and exit from the world. Once we move upward from the point of birth, we get afraid of death. "Men fear death as children fear to go into the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other," says Francis Bacon.

Do you know death?

Either of us can’t say how death is? Even we are unable to experience birth. Your parents might be aware of your birth but can anyone of us describe own birth? None

So for what are we afraid? Sometime we are afraid of our nearest one’s death. Sometime we are afraid for anything worst may happen with our nearest if we die. Sometime we hate death since we have just started to live happy life with our nearest. There are numerous reasons to be afraid of death. But there is only one reason to be happy to die is – Death is an another beginning of life.

Earth doesn’t stop to take round on one person’s death. We are creatures and we ourselves know that every beginning has an end. Tomorrow even earth has an end.

We are in transition…

Just imagine. You are told to live exact 50 years of life. Your status will be your study, marriage, children, and marriages of children. As simple as it is always. You are aware of both edges. Then what does make you happy and sad? What is so troublesome when you reach at final edge? Isaac Asimov said, "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."

Those who believe in body seem to die. Why do we recall great people? Our aim in life should be to spread love and joy taking over someone’s grief. Love and joy live nearest to god. God doesn’t want anything physical. Nature has made earth beautiful. Human kind is full of emotions. God has given a chance to fill it up. He wants us to spread more love and joy. Once we find real path to walk, we will never afraid of death.

Enjoy life bringing more joy….

"Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?" --Leo Buscaglia

A man would die, though he was neither valiant nor miserable, only upon a weariness to do the same thing so oft over and over. It is no fewer worthies to observe how little alteration in good spirits the approaches of death make; for they appear to be the same men till the last instant. – Bacon.

It is true that all of us episodes will not be the same. Some live for short time and other may live for longer duration. Death is not mystery. Every death is directly related to our physical body. Every death has cause. Our karma & accidents invites our end. Living happiness also include to look after our health. We just can’t avoid accidents to certain extend which we call our bad luck. That’s why it is myth to worry about death. We are abided by some responsibilities to perform. World has so much expectations from every birth. Take a lead to make other lives happy. Once your body gets wear & tear and touches limit, death will take you away from this world.

Everlasting life…

My belief regarding life is – we are born with some tasks to complete. Life is a span to complete all the tasks existing in physical world. Death is way to an everlasting life. Thus we are transferring our soul from one life to another life…something like from physical to spiritual. Soul never dies. We leave body on the same earth on which we were born with.

That is what written in one Hindu prayer.

Om Asatoma Sadgamaya,
Tamasoma Jyoti Gamaya,
Myrityoma Amritam Gamaya.

That means – "My Lord, Lead me from delusion to truth, darkness to light and death to eternal life."

According to Benjamin Franklin " A man is not completely born until he is dead." It is mystery. We yet unclear regarding whether there are any lives after death. If we believe in science, human body is mortal. Growth always ends with decline and thus every beginning has an end.

Final Quote

Socrates said on death " Death is one of two things. Either it is annihilation, or the dead has no consciousness of anything; or, as we are told, it is really a change: a migration of the soul from one place to another."
