Acharya Prashant clarifies that the concept of 'after death' is a logical impossibility because death signifies the cessation of the stream of time. Just as one cannot ask what time it is after a clock has stopped, there is no 'after' when time itself ends. He explains that humans struggle with the idea of death because they are filled with thousands of desires and cravings that prevent them from truly dying. While the physical body may perish, the psychological self remains trapped in a cycle of becoming. True death, in a spiritual sense, means being liberated from the mental movement of coming and going, and being free from all future hopes and expectations. This state of being 'dead' to the future is identical to immortality and liberation.
