Acharya Prashant explains that the fear of physical death subsides when that which pretends to be alive within you dies. He clarifies that the fear is not of physical death itself. Using an analogy, he states that if you are not inside a house, you will not be afraid of it catching fire. Similarly, you are worried about the body perishing because you are sitting inside it. The body is your house. You are concerned about the body's demise because you are situated within it. It is not necessary to be situated within the body. As long as you remain attached to the body, the death of the body will feel like your own death. He advises not to be attached to the body, and then you will not be afraid of its death. He corrects the notion that one lives *in* the body, stating that the body is an autonomous unit. You are not inside the body; you are stuck to it. The body knows its own course, and you are needlessly attached to it. He uses another analogy of a person clinging to the bonnet of a moving car, who would naturally fear an accident because he is stuck to the car, even though he has no need to be there. When saints say, "die," their intention is to "move away"—move away from the body. This is the death that will make you immortal. Conversely, if you are stuck to the body, its death will be your death. And since you know the body is mortal, you cannot truly live; the fear of death will be the motivation behind all your actions. He points out that our daily experience, where our intentions differ from the body's needs (like wanting to listen despite feeling cold), proves that we and the body are separate entities. Addressing the fear of losing loved ones, he explains that this fear arises because the purpose of the relationship is incomplete. One's true companion is the one who leads them to liberation. Every relationship is formed with an underlying desire for liberation, whether one is consciously aware of it or not. The fear of a relationship ending is the fear of this purpose remaining unfulfilled. If a relationship reaches its true culmination, which is mutual liberation, there will be no regret when it ends. Death haunts us because we have not lived our relationships properly; instead of using them for liberation, we have used them to create more bondage.
