The illuminated human being is immune to the death, he has the power to choose the moment in which he wants to die, and his death will also lead him to the salvation of the wheel of births.

In fact we should have fear to the birth and not to the death.

The death can be our step toward a better life, while the birth is always a step toward this life's suffering

Some people are so afraid to the death that ignores the topic as if it won't happen to them. Others think morbidly about the death, and the fear that they have, prevents them to live and to enjoy life fully.

Related with the death there is a fear that is truly appropriate and it is the only one that we should have: The fear of a useless life

It has an useless life the one that has not known how to take advantage of his life to get ready for the death, and it increases his karma instead of reducing it.

Nobody can avoid the death, (except for the realized ones) but we all can get ready for the death, and the one that has lived aware of the unavoidable of his death, and has gotten spiritually ready, when the death arrives, he can receive it in peace like the arrival of the moment of the rest, the moment in which he will receive all the prizes accumulated by his merits.

The death is a reminder and not a misfortune

The death is something that exists as a constant reminder that invites us to fill with our lives with meaning. We know that we must die, we know that we will be judged for what we made, and this should serve us like a guide. Otherwise, there won't be way to protect us from what comes later.

The one that is in peace with the idea of the death, not only has achieved an equanimity that is impossible to find in the non religious men, but rather it is able of sharing his peace to the friends and relatives that are next to the death.

This world is like an airport to which we arrive after having abandoned another airport, and of which we will leave again to continue our trip.

But which must be our destination? That depends entirely on us. In this trip between life and life, we arrive alone to the airport, we leave alone and only we can decide to not be alone during our present life.

When we arrive we don't bring any baggage neither any baggage will we be able to take when we live, it doesn't matter how much money, power or social position we had achieved in this life. In the moment of our departure we can only take with us the impressions of our virtuous or harmful actions in our causal body.

The one that ignores the death and wastes his life accumulating what he won't be been able to take, (many times carrying out harmful actions to get it), it has only one destination: a new port with a heavy karma.

But the one that as he knows that he will die, he thinks about the sense of his existence, and ends up understanding that his spiritual development is the only reason for which he has been born, that one knows that he should not be afraid to the death, and should only be afraid of an useless life that will cause him a new birth in this plane of the reality.
