How can one face death courageously?

Birth & death are two eternal truth of the universe. The Geeta says -

                                                       “ Jatasya hi dhruvo mrutyur-

                                                       dhruvam  janma  mrutasya  cha;

                                                       tasmadapariharyerthe

                                                      na  twam  shochitumarhasi” । ।

This phenomenon of the universe goes on in a cyclic process. We can rightly call it as “energy cycle”; because, like energy, soul cannot be destroyed under any circumstances. No fire can burn it. No water can wash it. No weapon can destroy it; it can only be transformed from one object to the other. Hence, this transformation is otherwise termed as “birth & death”; because “body” is an object and “soul” is its energy. Body functions when charged with energy. The Geeta says -

                              Nainam chindanti shastrani

                             nainam dahati pavakah ;

                            na chainam kledyantyapo

                            na shoshayati marutah.

Therefore, one should learn “energy management” while facing “death”. One should be courageous by cultivating different scriptures while defining the death; because scriptures usually strengthens our mind to face death destined to come ahead one day or other to every living being. In other words, it is just a psychological treatment of the mind. While facing death courageously, one should engage his mind positively by accepting “sanyasa”. Sanyasa means “Samyak + Nyasa”. That means to keep one’s mind in “Brahma”. (Samyak means sat or right and nyasa means to keep).

Hence, one should understand the truth lying in death instead of fear it. While facing death courageously, one should distinguish between the truth and non – truth and between the truth and a lie. Here, “death” is the “truth”; “life span” is “non – truth”. “Permanency of life span” is a lie. To be clearer, the truth is unchangeable or destined. A thing appears to exist, but really, it does not exist, is a lie. It is changeable. However, non – truth is a transition between the above two conditions. Here, “death” is the higher state of self-realization than “birth” And “zara” (old age) is the middle condition where one should learn to be courageous to face “death”. Because “death “is the ultimate stage of transformation of energy from one object to another object. It is nothing but just a positive assurance of utilizing energy source in right direction; because here energy is transform from a decayed object to a new one.

Hence, we call it renewal of activity. In this scheme of energy transformation, one can be bold enough to face the challenge of the time, which is destined but unavoidable. In this transformation, one transforms the energy  to the place of the God, which we call cremation ground. Therfore, there is a saying-

Saman hota sib ki jaga

Kyun  shochte  apabitra,

Mrutyu ki bhaya se

Kyun tu japta mahamrutyunjayamantra.
