Acharya Prashant explains that death is not a distant event but the very reality of our current existence. He clarifies that we are already living in a state of death, and the role of a Guru is not to bring death to us, but to remove the illusion that death is far away. We often mistake our current state of existence for life, when in fact, we are living like the dead. A Guru acts as a bridge or a ladder from this graveyard of existence toward immortality, represented by figures like Shri Krishna and Kabir Saheb. Facing death simply means looking at one's current life with open eyes and recognizing its inherent suffering and falsity.
