Death is the ultimate truth of life. It is an end of physical life which starts our journey into the new beginning- our spiritual life. Where it is said that we are above all the feelings and in a state above then everything. So, the fear exists only in the physical world and not in the spiritual world.

It is also believed that we come in to physical world just to go higher in the spiritual world. The shortest way to progress in spiritual world is to take birth in this physical world. So, we all come here with some purpose. It is believed that in the initial stage of our life, i.e. soon after our birth and 1-2 years we remember why we are here but after that we attach to so many things and as a reason of that we forget our purpose.

We know that death is the beginning of a new journey where we will meet God almighty. So, when all the sadhus and sanyasis take samadhi; that day is celebrated. The 16th day is celebrated as Shodashotsav.

We do not do this because we think differently and can not accept the truth that it is a journey to meet God instead we are unhappy and in tremendous pain.

I believe that this pain is only because our near and dear ones with whom we have spent most wonderful moments of our life are no longer with us. So, their absence bring lots of pain and tears to our life. This is the most difficult stage.

We should also remember that they are not with us in the physical world but they are there somewhere in the spiritual world and constantly watching & guiding us and also taking care of us. Their blessings, love and most wonderful memories will always remain with us.
So, important is not to have a fear of death as because of this we are not living every moment but we are dying.That means we should start accepting each and every moment and make most out of it. We don't have control on what is happening but we can surely govern our thoughts by putting life into everything we do. Then we will definitely enjoy every moment and we will start living.
