Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die

by Sadhguru

‘If you have been initiated by me, or have made the mistake of sitting in front of me totally, even for one moment, there is no rebirth for you.’

So they throw this half-burned body into the river. It is actually very good for you to see that this is how people are going to treat you also one day.

Once there is a deep acceptance of death, then life will happen to you in enormous proportions.

Death is the creation of the unaware, because if you are aware, it is life, life and life alone—moving from one dimension of Existence to another.

there is no such thing as life and death. Life is death, and death is life; they are not different.

If you want to live as a full life, you should look at your mortal nature every day, not only when you are beyond a certain age. Every day of your life, you need to be aware that you are mortal. It is not that I want to die today, but if I do, it is all right with me. I will do everything to protect myself, to nurture myself, to take care of myself, but if I have to die today, it is okay with me.

My blessing is that let everything happen to you. Let everything that is life happen to you. Have you come here to avoid life or to experience life?

You came empty-handed. You cannot lose in this life. See how wonderful it is! Whatever happens, you are still on the profit side, so what are you complaining about?

Let new things happen to you.

If you create this kind of nothing-should-happen-to-me situation within yourself, you will become stagnant.

Elemental Memory and Atomic Memory together constitute what can be called Inanimate Memory.

there are two seeds that make our lives. One is the seed planted by our parents, which gave us a body, and the other is the seed planted by the Creator, which gave us the life within. These are two different types of seeds or, in other words, two different dimensions of Nature. The first is programmed for certainty, while the second is programmed for possibility.

Sanchita Karma. You can say Sanchita Karma is the entire warehouse of karma that a person carries.

Prarabdha Karma, or the karma that is allocated for that lifetime,

The idea of being on a spiritual path is to put life on fast forward.

what you call as ‘this body’ is held together just by memory.

Right now, you have trillions of cells in your body that are functioning the way you want because there is a strong intent that is holding them together.

Evolutionary, Genetic, Karmic, Unconscious, Subconscious and Conscious Memory.

The karmic body is subject to influences because this whole thing has happened because of the accumulation of influences.

The moment it is about me, karma will grow; immediately, the karmic wall will gather substance. Its walls will become thicker and thicker.

These five sheaths, or koshas, as they are known, are Annamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Vignanamaya Kosha and Anandamaya Kosha.

So what you call the ‘body’ is just an accumulated heap of food.

There is memory and intelligence in every cell in the body. There is a whole body of mind, which we call Manomaya Kosha. This is the entire mental body.

Pranamaya Kosha. Prana is life energy. This is the energy body which powers and drives the Annamaya Kosha and the Manomaya Kosha.

If you keep the body of the person whose breath has stopped on earth or open soil, there is a possibility of revival with a little intervention from the outside. If

The chakras within the body are classified into seven main categories of sixteen each.

If you know, the bit of the skull at the top of the head is not yet formed in infants for quite some time. That spot is called the brahmarandhra.

If you want that moment of death to happen in full awareness, you have to live a life of awareness. Otherwise, at that moment, there is no way you are going to be aware. One who is conscious can leave whichever way one wants, but one who is unconscious simply goes in a fixed way—because their life was a bondage, so death is also a bondage. If at the moment of death, a person can be 100 per cent aware, that person will not have to go through rebirth. They will not take another body—they are released.

How rapidly you empty your Prarabdha Karma depends on how quickly you move from one aspect of life to another.

everyone is trying to be immortal at any cost, and they will die a bad death because of that. You can die well only if you accept your mortality.

The content of the mind keeps spinning on old things, so psychologically freaking someone out is the easiest thing to do.

People who are affected by these negative influences should come to the Dhyanalinga on three specific days: one day before the new moon, on the new moon and the day after the new moon.

You are just a tiny speck in this Creation. If you look at yourself in the context of Creation as a whole, you are nothing.

If you understand that you are nothing, you will be only too glad that things are happening to whatever extent they are.

they don’t know how to handle life. It is like you want to find a permanent solution to a temporary situation in life.

Instead of seeing that ‘I lack sense,’ you are projecting that life does not make sense.

When one is stunned by the drama that is happening in their psychological space, the phenomenal value of the life process will be lost upon them. So don’t be stupefied by your own psychological drama.

Silly little thoughts and emotions that they created become a Universe in itself. When their Universe begins to collapse, they think they must end their life.

they have decided to live in darkness. Whatever you give them, it does not matter what, they will turn that into darkness, into a problem.

Ignorance in this context means you don’t know a damn thing about the nature of your life.

It is best that people understand this: you did not create life, so you have no business to take it either

Depression, grief and joy are all infectious. You have to make up your mind as to what you want to infect the world with.

You need to understand that either with suicide or with another kind of death, you are only killing the physical body. You can only kill the physical body, but with that, you are putting an end only to the Annamaya Kosha and the conscious parts of the Manomaya Kosha, that is all.
