Acharya Prashant explains that we are not afraid of death itself, but of an incomplete death. This fear arises because we are incomplete, and our life is incomplete. If death were truly so frightening, many wise people would not have embraced it knowingly. The real issue is not death, but completeness. Death is merely a signal that time is up, like a bell ringing. The bell itself is not scary; it becomes scary only if one has wasted the time given. Acharya Prashant uses an analogy: if a guest is expected at a certain time and you spend the day sleeping instead of preparing, the doorbell will cause panic. The fear is not in the bell, but in the wasted day. Similarly, if you live the right life, death will not bother you. If the fear of death troubles you, it is a sign that there is a flaw in your life. Living rightly means not nourishing one's own incompleteness. Living a correct life does not make death an attractive thought, but rather an irrelevant one. When one is engrossed in right action and meditation, the thought of death becomes a non-issue. The fear of another's death also stems from incompleteness, specifically within the relationship. One fears the opportunity to have a complete relationship will be lost. Life is the time given to dissolve this knot of incompleteness. If life is used correctly, death becomes a small matter. If life is misused, it becomes filled with the fear of death. The real torment is not death, but an unlived life.
