Description

Acharya Prashant explains that Kabir Saheb frequently reminds us of death to maintain continuous consciousness. He states that living without the awareness of death is living in a state of unconsciousness and illusion. Maya is defined as considering the non-eternal to be eternal; when we forget death, we falsely assume the body and mind are immortal. All actions performed under this false sense of immortality lead to suffering because their foundation is untrue. Only through a sharp awareness of death can the edifice of immortality be built. Acharya Prashant clarifies that remembering death is not about fear or morbid imagery, but is equivalent to remembering the Truth or God. By acknowledging the other end of duality—death—while living, one can transcend both life and death.
