When I could not find any one to
solve the puzzle of life and death, I just told my self,
" Forget God. If I am too afraid of death and if there
is no other alternative, I need to compromise with death. I
must find out why there is a fear of death. I have to find
out its useful factors. I should prepare myself to enjoy it.
I need to seek maximum knowledge by best utilizing the
present. Why should we be ignorant and afraid of our own
Universe when we are the part of this universe! Since we are
the part of this universe (nature), the nature (God) should
be the most careful and friendly to us. The fear, pain and
all our other disturbances must be a result of our own
ignorance that leads us to a wrong environment where we try
to be smarter than our naturally assigned limitations. We
must accept that if we can't conquer the death or the fear
of death, our life will be a complete waste. And, if we willfully
try to forget the reality by remaining completely
addicted to enjoy the sweetness of life, we are not
different from an ordinary pigeon. The pigeon generally
closes his eyes when a cat pounces on him. It may be that he
perceives himself to be safe when not watching the attacking
enemy.
