Life needs a certain amount of tension to keep it going,
but in death there is relaxation.
In fact, death is the highest relaxation.
However, if you also know the relaxation of death when you are alive,
then life becomes an utterly effortless process.
The greatest calamity of the human mind is that it is against death.
The moment you reject death, you also reject life.
You think life is right and death is wrong.
It is not so.
Life is what it is only because death is.
One who does not embrace death
will not know life at all.
If you sit here saying, “I don’t want to die,
I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die,”
all that will happen is you will not live.
You will anyway die,
but by denying death,
you will not live well until then either.
If you are afraid of death,
you will only avoid life;
you cannot avoid death.
