Man creates strange deception. He pretends he knows things he is ignorant about – all because of fear. Deep down he is fraught with fear, deep down he knows he will have to die – people are dying everyday. He sees his body growing weaker inside – youth has passed, old age is approaching. He sees the body is on its way out, but inside he keeps reiterating, “the soul is immortal”. He tries to muster up his belief, his courage by doing so, and tells himself, ” Don’t be afraid. Of course death is there, but the sages, the wise men say the soul is immortal.” Around such wise men who talk about the immortality of the soul, people afraid of death gather in big crowds.
The soul is not immortal. what is implied is that doctrine of the immortality of the soul is a doctrine of those who fear death. Knowing the immortality of the soul is a totally different thing. Remember, only they can know the immortality of the soul who experiment with death while being alive; there is no other way of knowing it. This needs to be understood.

What happens in death really? The entire vital energy that is diffused and spread all around, contracts and returns to its centre. The essential energy that is reaching out to every nook and corner of our bodies withdraws, comes back to its core. For example , if we go on dimming a defused light, it will begin to shrink and darkness will gather. At some point the light will be reduced to the point where it comes close to the lamp itself. And were we to dim it even further, the light would be lodged in seed form and darkness would surround you.
So the Vital energy of our ilife shrinks and returns to its own centre. Again it becomes a seed, and atom, ready for a new journey. Because of this very contraction, this very shrinking of essential energy, one feels, ” I am dying! I am dying !” what one had taken to be life until then begins to slip away; everything begins to drop. A man’s limbs start loosing their strength, he begins to become short of breath, his eyesight becomes poorer his ears become hard of hearing.
Infact, all these sense were alive, and the whole body too, because of the connection with some energy. And once the energy begins to recede, the body, which was essentially lifeless, becomes lifeless once again. The master prepares to leave and the house becomes depressed, desolate. And the man feels, ” here I go!” at the moment of death he comes to feel, ” I am going. I am sinking, the end is near.”
The nervous feeling that he is dying – the worried and melancholy state, the anguish and anxiety of dying the feeling that his end is approaching – brings such terrible suffering to a many’s mind that he fails to be aware of the very experience of death. To know death one needs to be peaceful instead a man becomes so restless he never knows what death is .
