Make your Life Sublime to
Avoid Fear of Death
Death of every living
organism occurs due to stoppage of all biological functions which sustain life.
The birth and death of each individual is extended throughout the world. Many
persons arrive and many depart every day. Although, many person have the desire
to live forever, but no one can avoid the ultimate end. “Death can be denoted
as loss of life, dying, expiration, final exit, eternal rest, to leave the
earth, to kick the live bucket, meet the lap of God, and passing away.” We all
know that one day we have to leave this world, still we are afraid of death.
But members of the family become unable to withstand our loss. They feel
depressed but time heals the sedative loss.
Causes of Death:
People generally consider
that mortality may be due to natural evasions and excuse. Following reasons can
bring end of life:
• Natural calamity and mishaps—Earthquakes, storms, flood
rise, excessive fires, famines, draughts, clap of thunder, flash lightning,
volcanic eruption, severe pollution etc.

failure of Kidneys, stoppage of breathing, cancer; adverse viral, bacterial or
fungal diseases, AIDS, obstruction of senses, excessive intake of wrong

boats or ships; derailment or other rail accidents; submersion of vehicles in
river, lake or sea; down fall of vehicles from mountains; attack through vulgar
forest animals; bite of poisonous snakes, scorpions etc.; personal mishaps.
• Suicide --- Intake of poisons, death due to hanging, self
burning, hitting with bullet or sharp weapon, self drowning in river or sea,

Almost 1, 50,000 people
die every day around the world and about 2/3 people depart due to old age.
Every person generally believes that the soul continues to exist without
physical body and seeks re-incarnation.
The Emotional Alarm of
Death:
Every human being is very
prominent and supreme creation of eternal Divine Entity. The virtuous qualities
of humanity are unique and exalted for all kinds of living beings. Therefore,
the period of existence has to be vital, conscious, passionate and delightful.
But the life span of every person is limited. The cause, conclusion time and
place of death remain unknown to everyone. It is also being regulated through
fortune governed by Lord.
The event of departure
from life is terrifying and painful incidence. The fear of death is surrender
to mortality. It is not different from birth because it has to happen once.
When a person overcomes the alarm of death, he becomes endless, infinite and
most spiritual.
Positive concepts to
overcome the Fear of Death:
Try to confirm that we
have the virtuous thoughts and righteous mode of actions during our life
period. We should be able to understand the meaning of Divine bliss to have
created a community of family, relatives, friends and colleagues. We should
think of spending better period of many years ahead of us than behind. Death is
not any eminent loss; the greatest loss is due to rejecting the virtuous
qualities of submission to humanity and reverence to God. Every parting is a
form of death but every reunion is a type of heavenly grace. Love, laughter and
peace of mind are able to cure our grief and depression. Our sufferings,
failures, loneliness, sorrows, discouragement and diseases can be part of sad
journey which may give indication to death even during life. Such death is
nothing but to live defeated and inglorious. Time is precious and you can
imagine for rebirth. Yesterday is like a cancelled cheque, tomorrow as
promissory note but today is like ready cash, use it with full profit. Live
this moment, live it fully now, in the present time. Life is sometime very
busy, full of anxieties and agitations but death is calm, cool, silent and peaceful.
Only the fear of death is painful which has to be totally baseless.
You can Make or Mar your
Life:
Every moment of your
righteous thoughts and actions can be constructive, creative, skillful and
pleasing. But unfair and evil concepts become impairing and make the person
more complicated by his agitation approach. The primary concern should be to
calm down all the tensions of mind so that each one may be able to face even
the heavy odds of life and go ahead. Believe it that you possess power to dispel
fear and anxiety in a moment and thus change the trend in life. You should
realize that you can do it.
You have to add specific
and marvelous purpose to life in order to make it meaningful and zestful so as
to achieve the utmost fulfillment from it. The person lives the best who thinks
straight, feels noble and acts his part,
best on every stage of life (according to Divine Light). Soul is
celestial, divine and immortal entity.
As per certain religious concepts, the transmigration of soul to any other
race depends upon the generosity and subtle actions during life span.
Resolve to be Strong and
Courageous:
The humble living must
involve superb thinking, planning, actions and proper utilization of resources
with positive aspects to achieve most favorable results. Every person must
introspect from time to time so as to work for better prospects and prosperity.
Even the elderly and experienced persons feel rejoiced to convey that righteous
living should be peaceful, enriching and productive, without distress. No one
should fear natural death because this event is certain, but the person cannot
predict the death clock. Life is real and earnest but grave or cremation is not
its goal. One may not do great things in life but can do many small things with
love and respect. Never do wrong to anyone. Therefore, think good, do good, be
good and you will enjoy with society. You must gather Divine inspiration for
mind and spirit.
Longevity of Human Life:
The persons having good
health and refined qualities live positively for a better period. The greatness
is not inborn. It can be acquired through innovative tasks performed with
esteemed knowledge, skill, perseverance and dedication. Life certainly involves
all the practical efforts of daily living. Make attempts to perform tasks of
social welfare on physical, mental and moral basis to elevate your spirit. Try
to face the challenges and cope with worldly tumbles bravely. Living with
chaste and superb morality is always praiseworthy. You can try to improve upon
your destiny to be the creator of your future. Thus make your living
extra-ordinary as you desire. Dare to be great and manifest that greatness to
enhance your excellence and also bring dignity to those around you.
Try to carry firm belief
in Divine Power:
• When the mind brought in harmony to the Divine, it acquires
a sweet melody, arising from the inner rhythm of sweet consistent thoughts and
feelings.
• No one should leave the world without doing well for fellow
beings at global level to the one’s ability. Above all one may depart the stage
serenely invoking the presence of Divine.
• Nobody has lived forever nor can anyone live forever now,
but can achieve everlasting status through excellent thoughts and actions.
• Adopt noble qualities of self reliance, admirable tasks,
innovative concepts, enthusiasm, strong determination, appreciable team spirit
and overall spiritual elevation.
• Lead the life with highest ethical purity because spiritual
progress can be possible through morality at grass root level. Our righteous
performances endured with virtuous meditations become everlasting and eternal.
• Each one of should exist to carry special mission and seek
spiritual elevation to attain salvation.
• We must continue our sincere efforts to achieve the
benevolence of God so as to understand the real meaning and purpose of life. We
must try to remain involved in regular prayer and meditation with commitment,
patience and humility.
• Every person has to delve deep and get engrossed in the
limitless ocean of Divinity so as to cherish the eternal bliss.
