Inevitable Death
(death - what is the inevitable death)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Death is always viewed from two perspectives... one as a normal human being and the other as wise sees it!

Every mortal fears death for the simple reason... all that he earns working hard (throughout his life) cannot be carried to next life. All efforts going to waste... we rue the day death will catch hold of one.

Inherently most human beings enjoy pursuing materialistic riches throughout their life. When comes the time to depart... they try understanding the fundamentals of death. It is too late by then! When young... one could have learnt the Wisdom of Bhagavad Gita and dispelled ones fears for ever but they were always short of time. Now death has shortened their life span.

Wise having gained the pearls of wisdom reading the Bhagavad Gita realize the underlying truth. They understand that the physical manifested life is an ephemeral phase in the cosmic life cycle of soul atman within. Nothing is permanent in nature except a liberated soul.

Living the Nishakama karma away is the best way to defeat death in its face. Every human being gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) becomes immortal. Immortality is not to be lived physically... it is a concept to be understood! The wise understand it... the commoner longs for it!

For a wise death is like changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Our soul atman within manifests body after another to remove the impurities within! In the physical manifested world people cry over the death of the body... in the spiritual domain our soul atman is happy manifesting the next phase of life.
