Celebrating Death
the crescendo of life
My sannyasins celebrate death too
because to me death is not the end of life but the very crescendo of life,
the very climax,
it is the ultimate of life.
Life has to be lived to be known.
It has been given to you to live.
It is a gift of nature to you.
It is not a punishment;
it is simply a gift from existence.
Rejoice in it,
and burn your life’s
candle from both the ends together.
Live as intensely as possible,
and the very taste of life
will give you the clue
why death is not to be feared.
In my religion
death is celebrated because there is no death.
And celebrating death will help you
to understand
that
there is nothing in life
to be afraid of. If death is a celebration,
then what else
can be a cause of fear?
And if you can celebrate death,
you have attained a maturity.
