Acharya Prashant clarifies that life is a preparation for death, but not the physical death of the body. Instead, it is a preparation to free oneself from the tendencies and impurities that turn life into a hellish experience. He explains that a child is not born innocent or free from flaws; rather, a human is born with deep-seated tendencies and mental impressions. Living according to these innate flaws is what constitutes ordinary life. Therefore, the call to move toward death is actually a call to move away from these tendencies and impurities. True death occurs when these mental flaws are removed, leading to a state of immortality that has nothing to do with the physical body.
