Death and Freedom!
Death is the ultimate reality that every human being has to face. It is a universal experience that unites people from all walks of life. However, the way we perceive and approach death varies from one individual to another. Some of us fear it, while others see it as a natural part of life. Fear of death is deeply ingrained in the human psyche. This is not just limited to the fear of physical death but extended to the fear of losing everything we hold dear, such as our relationships, possessions, and beliefs. This fear is rooted in our attachment to the self, which creates a sense of separation from everything else in the world.
The fear of death is a symptom of a deeper psychological issue, which is “Fear of the Unknown”. The fear of the unknown arises when we cling to our beliefs and ideas and are afraid to question them. The fear of the unknown is the root cause of all fear, including the fear of death.
It is possible to overcome the fear of death by understanding the nature of fear itself. Fear is not an object that we could confront or overcome but a process that we need to observe and understand. The key to overcoming this fear is to be aware of it without trying to escape it or suppress it. we could overcome the fear of death by questioning our beliefs and ideas about death. Most of us have inherited beliefs about death from our culture, religion, and society, and these beliefs often created a sense of fear and anxiety. It is essential to question these beliefs and to examine the nature of death for ourselves. It is important to live fully in the present moment to overcome the fear of death.
The fear of death is often the result of our attachment to the past and the future. We are afraid of losing what we have in the present, and we are also afraid of what the future holds. We can live fully in the present moment by letting go of our attachments to past and the future. If we end our attachments, we create space for something new to emerge. The ending is the past, and when we end the past, we gain a sense of freedom and movement that is not born of the past. We can experience a new beginning, a fresh start that is not constrained by our past attachments.
