Conquer mankind's biggest fear : Death

 Death is part of life. Are we ready to accept it?

Obviously NO!

Aren't you afraid of losing your parents or closed one's death? But we must first understand are they really dead?

Suppose you meet someone on a journey and had a very good time with them. When you seperate you feel a sense of seperation. You keep calling those memories even after the journey. But do feel depressed after that seperation!?

What is death?

Death is nothing but a change. Nothing can be dead scientifically or spiritually. What you referring as dead, it had it's existence even before it was born and will exist after death when it's not visible. It only transform itself.

If you realise the fact that silence had it's existence before sound, you will never be afraid of losing a particular sound.

 Death through science perception:

There is a basic science rule that energy can neither be created nor destroyed,it can only be transformed from one form to other.  

Every living being is a form of energy.

The term we referred to as death seems to be a paradox with this.

Nothing can be dead in this universe. 

Let's take the example of water. When we freeze it , it changes into ice. This ice is different in appearance or physical features but at the basic level it water. 

No living being can be dead. It may change it's form. 

May be the tree in your backyard is your ancestor, or the wind that you are feelings right now is the loved one you lost yesterday.

You need to be awaken enough to witness this transformation of energy. 

Think about it.

The five stages of death: 

Life came in stages, it will leave in stages as well. Doctors believe that we have one trillion cells in our body, and each of the cell is living by itself.

When the doctors say the patient is no more. Still a large part of the body is alive. 

They have accepted the fact that when we are our brain lives for ten hours.

The question is , when we are dead. Why some of our cells still alive and grow? 

Life is a physical mechanism on many different levels. Have you even imagined how your cell knows it is a human cell? 

If you eat animal's food for two-three days you never become an animal. There are variety of memories imposed on every cell in the system. Memories of evolution, genetic memory, karmic memories. So that the cell never gets confused. 

Just like any other mechanism we have hardware and software. The software package is actually much bigger. It is energised by what we are considering as life force. 

In yogic terminology it is known as prana. It menifests itself in five basic dimensions. 

These five dimensions are:

1. Prana vayu
2. Samana vayu
3. Apana vayu
4. Udana vayu
5. Vyana

These have different functions.

1. Prana vayu

It is related to breath. The respiratory action and the thought process. If prana vayu depletes your respiratory action will go away. And at this point the doctor checks and says, " The body is no more".

Respiratory and pulmonary action are directly connected.

Once the respiration stops, that process will naturally come to an end. 

So prana vayu is gone. 

These all dimensions will not go one after another. They will go at the same time.

2. Samana vayu

This is incharge of generating heat in the system. So once samana vayu starts receding the body starts getting cold and it also becomes stiff. 

3. Apana vayu 

It is the sensory aspect of the body.

When you check someone and declare them medically dead,they can still feel sensations. There are number of cases where people get terrified because the dead moves a little bit. There are twitchings in the body that happens in a very mild way, because the sensory activity is still on. 

Still life is not fully convinced that it's finished.

4. Udana vayu 

When udana vayu goes away then the buoyancy is gone. You may weigh fifty or sixty kilos. But never fell fifty kilos on you when you are alive, isn't it?

 This is simply because udana creates a buoyancy.

Once udana starts receding suddenly the body becomes heavy. Weight does not increase but you can feel the weight much more because the udana is gone.

 

5. Vyana 

The fifth dimension is known as vyana. It is preservative in nature. If vyana recedes, even when you are alive your body will begin to rot. 

Vyana may take fourteen days to leave. 

When you burry a person the vyana may be still hovering there. 

Live before you die:

Some people believe that the soul( aatma) changes the body after death. 

Our body is made up of five element

1. Earth 

2. Water 

3. Fire 

4. Space  

5. Air 

When these five elements combine together to form a body we call it as birth. When these five elements disembodied we call it as death. 

We had our existence before our birth. We were never born, then how can we dead.  

Some people have desires , which they tend to do in the future. When they are dead they may have the desires to back in another body and full fill what they left behind. 

These all seems nonsense and man made theories. 

We are given this one life with this body. Do whatever is possible at the level of this body. If you want to say something to someone, say it. If you want to do something, do it. If you want to love someone, love them. 

Live it as it is your first and last day of your life. This moment is complete in itself, there is nothing left, nothing more to be done for the matter. Game over! 

No past , No future. 

Summary:

When doctors declare someone as dead. For you they are dead. As far as that person is concerned in a way. He's lost his body. All his life he lived thinking he is a body , never realised that. 

When he slips off the body he tends to hover around the body. Because he's lost his descriminatory intelligence. So, this tends to hover around it.
