Acharya Prashant explains that near-death experiences are not mystical but are a result of physiological processes in the brain. He states that one does not die randomly; there is always a reason. Before death, the blood supply to the brain becomes irregular and diminishes, causing the brain to malfunction, which he describes as going "half-mad." This process, which is essentially brain death, can be triggered by accidents, diseases, or cardiac arrest. When the brain is deprived of blood, it can be severely damaged in just a few minutes, leading it to hallucinate. That, he says, is all there is to it. He refutes the idea that a dying person gains the ability to perceive otherworldly realms. He argues that if the brain struggles to make sense of this world even when it is healthy, it is illogical to believe that a malfunctioning, dying brain could suddenly comprehend another world. He likens this to an old, crumbling car with a faulty speedometer showing an impossibly high speed. The visions and experiences are simply a product of the brain's malfunction. There is nothing more to it than that. Sharing his own experience of being hit on the head, Acharya Prashant describes it as a purely physical event. He tangibly felt his memory receding and found it difficult to recall recent events and names. He clarifies that this was not a vision of "Yamaraj" or another world, but a direct, material experience of memory loss. A part of his consciousness that was still active observed this process and prompted him to make arrangements for his foundation's future, dictating instructions for its continuity. He was seeing something very physical, material, and tangible, which was the loss of memory. He concludes that the incident imparted a profound lesson on the impermanence of life and the vulnerability of his mission. This has made him even more eager and unrelenting in his work, seeing with greater clarity how suddenly everything can be lost. He emphasizes that there is no mysticism involved in such experiences. Instead, there is a work to be done and a mission to accomplish within a limited time, which demands concentration.
