One has to Welcome DEATH: Why?
It is certain that whoever takes birth on this earth has to die one or other day. When such is the case, fear of death is not desirable. People who have crossed 60 years of their age always think that they are very near to death. The fear of death in old age hence becomes a problem.
Also people wish to die without suffering any pain. Many worry for their wives and children. They always grumble: Who will look after my wife after my death? I don’t know who will take away my property.
Usually people refuse to die. One has to welcome death. We don’t know when death comes. Suppose you say, “don’t come now come later” will it go back? We can only avoid which we can. For example, we can prevent diseases by using healthy food, exercise, cleanliness and leading peaceful life. We can prevent accidents by being careful. Inspite it occurs. Can we avoid? What happened to people when Tsunami appeared?
No body knows the situation after death. So simply worrying about death and disturbing our minds serves no purpose. Let it come at its wile better be ready to face it.

People who fear death have a false impression of life. From the ego experience these people think they own life so that death can take it from them. In fact they don’t own life they are life. They are the energy which perpetuates the feedback cycles of formation and dissolution which make activity and consciousness possible. Death is simply the dissapation of that energy. The loss from death is not to the dead person it is to the people who love the dead person and grieve their loss. Grief is a feedback loop which consumes energy and for some people produces comfort. For some people it does not produce comfort it produces increasing pain, impairment and dissapation. Develop the ability to choose how to deal with loss and grief
