Accepting Your Own Death

[Nama Singh]

VJKK VJKF

Obviously, its difficult to determine how long you have left to live and walk this Earth as a mortal. I could step outside my house today and be run over by a double-decker bus and die on the spot in a split second.

But when you grow old n grey you realise that you are reaching the average life expentancy of a man or woman.

When you're young, you live like your immortal almost. For me, i hardly think about dying and that my time will come to end in this world and i think about the idea of growing old and then coming the time when i know that my time left on this Earth will be short and I will go and it doesnt scare me... it makes me feel weird as i cant imaging accepting it. Just makes me wonder whether i will feel this unease i feel thinking about it when im old.

When you grow old, is it really easier to accept your death a lot better than when your young?

Interesting insight....I read this somewhere...if you accept you can die at anytime, it will never take you by surprise.

Well, we all know that our time is limited. If you stop worrying about the limitations and the alotted time, life gets alot more fun.

why wait till death?

[japmans]

it doesn't take death to be with your Guru... your guru is everywhere that youa re... your Guru is eternally with you, at your side, 24/7........

once you realize that, then you're acknowledging the truth, and that's essentially like saying that you're with your guru.

Kabeer, I long to die; let me die at the Lord's Door.

I hope that the Lord does not ask, ""Who is this, lying at my door?""||61||

The actual shabad is very long, so if you wish to read the whole thing you can at page 1367.

I disagree. See, I think that in remembering death in every second of your life, then you forget about Life. Plus, people tend to fear death, not look at it's true importance when they remember death every second. Death is a joyous occasion, because you're going back to satguru. If you remember Death every second of life, then you forget about life, and you go against what God put you here for. God didn't want you to try and Die well, but Live well.
