KNOW LIFE BEST
KNOW LIFE BEST
DEATH MAKES KNOW LIFE BEST
WHEN CLOSE TO HEART LEFT BODY
FORM MERGE IN FORMLESS
When death of a person close to us occurs, it tends to make us know life better. Otherwise life will just be moving onwards; routine, fun, job, study, family, business, interactions, attractions so on and so forth. Death makes know the end of life; so we are not going to live here for long. Death itself has made know life better since ancient times and all the scriptures, all philosophies and the knowledge of life itself is probably based on that. Can we just imagine life to be permanently here; how would it be like? Now, this shall bring so many thoughts, and may be ideas too. Maybe; you can have a big laugh over this.
Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!
All forms in this universe are bound by time and space and have a life time of their own and are again bound to end and merge in the formless. Hence, the last line; ruminate.

More than anything else You are very close to my Heart always, so even if I whisper you can hear it.

We can’t afford to ignore death as we can’t afford to live as though we’re immune to it. That’s not wise. We have to make sure our life counts for something. —- Suzanne

But as we see and what you have said about immunity; life is being lead as if we would live for long; a few hundred or thousand years. Look to the politics and politicians; they are the best examples other than who are in the rat race.
Thanks for sharing your profound thoughts.

Often when people have a brush with death or a near-death experience they tend to know life best at that time. They often appreciate the simple pleasures in life that they once took for granted. If there is reincarnation aren’t you then here permanently, just in different forms? As usual a very thought-provoking post!! 🙂

What I mean here is, right from our childhood we slowly start seeing death in this world. Death of different people in this world, of far of people or some relatives or of close to the family that which makes know life understand better and better. When it comes to their own experience it still enhances, as you say.
The story of Buddha as a child shall be of some inspiration to this very topic. His father never allowed him to go out of his palace and that is why he never knew what death is or was like. Once he happened to go out during his youth he saw death very closely that which inspired him to leave the kingdom and ultimately it helped him to get enlightened.
As far as living permanently through reincarnations it is altogether a different subject for discussion. If only we could remember what were we in past lives and what we did, it could enrich the knowledge of life itself or it would send us in chaos. This existence works in different ways and has its own sorts unexplainable. Living in different forms here or elsewhere in the universe is interesting to know, but whatsoever all forms are to merge in the formless, one or the other day.
To be enlightened is not to be in any form or one shall not take any form after this life. To be in total bliss…. so it goes like that.

I did not know that about Buddha, or that death is what inspired and then enlightened him.
Since we only use a very small portion of our brain, I wonder if all of our previous lives are stored in our brain and if we tapped into it we would know of the knowledge we acquired previously. I know under hypnosis you can be regressed and explore previous lives. Hmmm I just had a thought, we are all energy when we come into and leave this world, I wonder if when we are reincarnated we are given the same brain all through our different lives…oh that’s fascinating!!
I have just enlightened myself…I think. I strive for total bliss!! 🙂
