Sri Anandamayi Ma

Death Should Not Be Feared

The acceptance of suffering is a journey into death. Facing deep pain, allowing it to be, taking your attention into it, is to enter death consciously. When you have died this death, you realize that there is no death — and there is nothing to fear. Only the ego dies. Imagine a ray of sunlight that has forgotten it is an inseparable part of the sun

Death won’t make an angel of you; self-effort will.

untouched by sickness, sorrow, or death.

while living, also live with death. Then death is not something far away, death is not something which is at the end of one’s life, brought about by some accident, disease or old age, but rather an ending to all the things of memory – that is death, a death not separate from living.
