Practise Dying!

-
Practise Dying! Yuck! What an eerie, strange, and frightening topic! Well, read on all of you, especially my senior comrades.


We cannot go back in our lives, while in the last lap of our life's journey, being afraid of the final destination of death. The greater the fear of death, the greater the urge to keep on living.

But do we have to tremble with fear while contemplating that inevitable yet unexpected event? When the flowers we have given birth to (our children), develop into fruits (blossom), the petals (we) will inevitably drop off on its own.

 

The best way to overcome that fearful state of mind is to slowly get acquainted with death, the act of rejoining the supreme being from where we originated, and get ready to embrace that final moment with joy.

And how do we go about doing that; that is, how do we experience its blissful joy? The answer is simple - by practising dying while we are still alive!

By slowly giving up our material possessions, unfulfilled desires, and emotional attachments in pursuit of mental peace and tranquility.

This video entitled 'Fear by Kahlil Gibran - A Life Changing Poem on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs' by Simerjeet Singh provoked all these thoughts in my mind.

Thoughts lead to feelings. Feelings lead to actions. Actions lead to results. Let me patiently wait and see what the results would be!

Copyright: Internet Given India's current position as a politically vibrant nation with a coalition government, a rapidly growing economy, and an expanding global influence across multiple sectors, it has naturally attracted the envy of various nations who would prefer to see its progress stall or reverse.  The India-Pakistan Situation In this context, engaging in warfare with a poor and struggling neighboring country would be a self-destructive act, squandering the significant advantages the present BJP led Indian government has painstakingly built over the last decade. Pushing Pakistan deeper into poverty through a war could inadvertently lead to global sympathy for them. Other countries and international ...

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair: A Life of Principle and Purpose

Surprisingly, it required someone like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting 2,500 km away in Delhi, to illuminate the significant contributions of Kerala's illustrious son, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair (1857-1934), for Keralites and Indian historians. Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair This luminary had risen to prominent judicial roles in the British administration, received a knighthood  under British rule, yet ultimately relinquished all these accolades to fight against injustice within the same British legal framework , a system that ironically helped pave the path to India's eventual independence . Following PM Modi's directive, Union Minister Suresh Gopi visited the ancestral home of freedom fighter and former Congress president's family in Ottapalam and their residence in Chandranagar, Palakkad, on Sunday.
