Acharya Prashant explains that near-death experiences are physical results of a malfunctioning brain. When blood supply to the brain becomes irregular or diminished due to disease or accident, the brain cannot work properly and begins to hallucinate. He argues that if a healthy brain struggles to make sense of this world, a failing brain cannot suddenly make sense of another world. He compares a dying brain to a forty-year-old crumbling car with a broken speedometer that shows an impossible speed because it has gone bonkers. There is no mysticism or otherworldly elements involved; it is simply a result of a malfunction. Recalling his own head injury, he notes that he experienced a purely physical receding of memory. He had trouble remembering names and events, which prompted him to use his remaining active consciousness to make practical arrangements for his foundation's future. He did not see any mystical beings but instead witnessed the tangible loss of memory. This experience taught him a lesson about the impermanence of life and the suddenness with which everything can be lost. Consequently, he has become more eager and concentrated on his mission, working at double the speed because he recognizes that time is limited.
