Surprised! Amazed! Flabbergasted! Angry! Disgusted! oblivious!
Whatever you feel or understand , it is not going to change the fact that you are dying. Yes, you can show me thousands and one proof that you are alive. Yes! I accept, i have to accept the truth though truth is not dependent on me or to anybody else. But when you are saying that you are alive and living and rejects the fact that you are dying. You are standing in half truth and denying the other half of truth. You have incomplete knowledge which is more deteriorating and dangerous than complete unknowingness. OK, let me show you the other half of truth, so that you will have the complete knowledge and this knowledge will bring you peace, harmony and beyond everything you will get a new and natural insight of your true nature, your whole being.
Yes you know that one day everyone of us has to go to unknown through the process of death. You accept that death is inevitable but you do not want to think about it because it is painful to know that one day you will have to leave everything living or dead behind you. This idea of loosing everything, you earned through the continuous efforts of days and nights is terrifying. This is what brings the fear of death .You start running away from the fact of death. You voluntarily suppress the idea of death and selectively blind folds yourself . This is because you don’t see that you are dying here and now and you will be dead anytime from now to years ahead. Death is not a one day phenomenon, you die everyday in pieces this is what dying is. Every cell of your body is dying and there is replacement of older cells by newer cells. Every cell has got its own life span after that there is a programmed cell death (e.g. apoptosis, necrosis etc.). Your body is managing this complex interplay of life and death within you.
You are the residential address of life and death, both phenomena is happening inside you. It is your prejudice which has projected death as an evil though it is as beautiful as life and living. It is not only beautiful, it is the reason of your survival, your living. Don’t forget that the place where you are standing or sitting right now have thousands of people buried deep down there.
Have you ever imagined the world without the phenomena of death?
What will happen?
You will live, live and live but what kind of life it would be. You will become older, disable, unproductive , undesired and when you will become burden to your own friends and relatives, you would be abandoned by them because they will not die too, sooner or later they will turn old and dependent. Then you would like to die but you will not be able to die naturally or unnaturally.
What kind of world that would be?
There would be misery, misery and misery, a never ending chaos.
But because of our possessiveness we do not want to evolve. We are happy in our miserable life. We do not want to know the divinity, because we have made ourselves so tiny that we have become the insects of earth, highly busy in worthless worldly matters which is not ending or we are happy in it, we do not want to see our infinite possibilities. You sing and dance on birth of child and teach him in that a way that he also starts to see the complementary half of life (death), as the biggest and undefeatable enemy. He starts denying and rejecting the law of the existence and hence get himself busy in impossible act of running away from death. He sees death all around him but never ready to think and understand death. He indulge himself in act of forgetting the existence of death. Ultimately the whole effort ends in vain, a futile attempt. Person dies without the knowledge of his own being and the knowledge of the existence. He dies in frustration, dissatisfaction, unwillingly, looses the whole purpose of birth, the whole journey of life becomes a great failure.
Purpose of life is to know what you are, where you are and who you are. Because man run and run in all the directions possible he forgets to explore the answer of these questions for what he has come to this world many a times. This vicious circle goes on and on and on. Human race has missed the opportunity of understanding the real picture and meaning of death million a times. Very few people like Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira could be able to understand the meaning of death and its significance and hence they become free of this vicious circle of life and death, they transcend.
Human race should thank and worship death, it has made this earth evergreen, always fresh, it has given a great meaning to our life, to all mankind.

Death, Dream, Dream Sharing, Interpretation, Jesus, Psychology, Reality
One day i went to a church the priest of the church was addressing the god follower. He was talking about Dream. He had a strong belief that one should not dream.
He said “What is dream?”
“Dream is unreal, mind-made, ground less chain of poorly or fantastically woven images and sounds.”
You can define it by many way but the truth is that dream is not truth and what ever you see in dream is not truth, it is your hidden or unfulfilled desires which took the form of images and sounds and becomes your dream and turns real in your sleep. Yes, Dreams are real in your sleep.
Do not you sometimes started screaming in your sleep which you call night mare or night terror.
Why you screamed, cried, yelled ?
Do not you felt sweating?
Do not you felt tears rolling down from your eyes?
Do not you felt subtle or visible trembling sensation in your body?
You can not say that your tears were unreal or artificial.
It was there you touched your tear, you wiped your sweat drenched body.
Dream involves you totally, it is not just a mental phenomenon. Dream is a big illusion, mostly it attracts you and persuades you away from the reality. It will engulf you and will force you through sweet tacts to believe in it. It will try to surround you like reality and will make you indecisive to identify the reality or to differentiate between dream and reality.
But remember if you will like and see the temporary golden eggs given to you by your dreams, again it will be you who will become blind towards reality. Reality is absolute, omnipresent, self-adequate, just here and now, was there and will be there. Yes, you would not be able to see it because you are practicing dreaming and becoming more and more skilled in your act of dreaming.
It does not matter that you had excellent dream, at the end you will wake-up and will see your whole dreaming experience, your dream made palaces are gone, you are lying on the same place where you had started dreaming. Net gain will be zero or worst. You will loose the possibility which was there in dealing with the reality.
So my childrens do not dream, live the reality. Dream is ugly, Reality is beautiful. Reality is truth and the only beauty in this whole world lies in truth. Do not show your back to truth, this will make you blind, this is just escaping, this is just avoiding but the existence of reality is not dependent on you or to anybody else.
So why you fear it?
why you want to abolish it?
why do not you understand it ?
Living in a false world of dream is equal to unwelcoming the present and the future, it is not going to help you in anyways. Drop your habit of dreaming today, just now, promise the god that you will live in reality. Dream is a lie, though dreaming is true. Living in a lie is like living in death and dying in life. Dying in life is a sin, is simply denying the gift of god. Dream makes you sinner and you fools are happy in it. You must make your own beautiful way to walk with the reality. It can be painful and mostly it is but it is true and living with truth is a good living. You live in the very natural way of yours, you live with all your courage and search your own being and this is the work for what you have been sent here.
On my way back to home, i thought about the priest sayings and i sense the hatred in his discourse though it was for dream but it was there.
I recalled the saying of Jesus : “Love your enemy”. I thought if the whole meaning of this long talk was to pose the dream as the enemy of human being, it is perhaps OK but What about the way you are teaching these lessons, it is invoking hatred and hatred towards dream, today it is against dream, tomorrow will be for something else. You are teaching human being to hate and that is how the machine which generates hate will keep functioning, will keep moving, will resist rusting and will not degenerate.
The whole purpose of Jesus saying was to destroy the hate producing machinery of human being and you are doing just opposite to that.
I was not able to understand this idea of being a enemy to dreams. As i recall back i saw hell more of invention had been done just because of an idea came in dream.
It requires courage to dream in the morning with open eyes, with all your consciousness, with all your awareness but yet you dream. Dream has become the reality so many times that it became difficult to accept that this reality was ever a dream.
Man wanted to fly in air was a dream.
Man wanted to communicate between great distances was a dream.
Man wanted to step -on moon was a dream.
Man wanted to make electricity was a dream.
All above things were initially a Dream and today it is Reality.
Every dream can be changed in to reality, we did it and we will do it. It is just the gap or time interval which divides dream and reality. Every dream is a seed destined to be a tree of reality, when it will become tree is hidden.
I am more terrified to think in reverse manner because it is also true that every reality has the potential to go back to become a dream again. Human race has gathered all the weapons to destroy the reality and transform it to dream again.
I pray to god to give us conscience so that the dreams keep on becoming reality and reality never go back to state of dream.
