Aware..

 
you would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
These are the famous lines by Khalil Zibran.

But seriously and take a look at it with different perspective and there will be
some other passages for  ideas that actually opens up.

You cannot be frightened of the unknown because you do not know what the unknown is and so there is nothing to be afraid of. Death is a word, and it is the word, the image, that creates fear. So can you look at death without the image of death?
As long as the image exists from which springs thought, thought must always create fear. Then you either rationalize your fear of death and build a resistance against the inevitable or you invent innumerable beliefs to protect you from the fear of death. Hence there is a gap between you and the thing of which you are afraid.

In this time-space interval there must be conflict which is fear, anxiety and self-pity. Thought, which breeds the fear of death, says, 'Let's postpone it, let's avoid it, keep it as far away as possible, let's not think about it'- but you are thinking about it. .

Most of us are frightened of dying because we don't know what it means to live. We don't know how to live, therefore we don't know how to die. As long as we are frightened of life we shall be frightened of death. The man who is not frightened of life is not frightened of being completely insecure for he understands that inwardly, psychologically, there is no security. When there is no security there is an endless movement and then life and death are the same. The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.

The core of Hindu mythology is, your attachment to this world is root cause of your fear of death, but if you live fully in this world and you somehow enjoy the beauty of life  then death is merely an event for you.





जिन्दगी है इस कदर उलझी हुयी, कि मैं  आहें  भरता हूँ छुप कर  

वक़्त  है इस कदर हावी  हम पर , कि मैं सांस लेता हूँ गिन कर.  

मेरे वक़्त को तूने   लिख दिया , रूक जा.. ,  कई बार  सोच कर

सवाल एक ही  है तुझसे, क्यों दिया ये  दर्द ,  जिन्दगी दे  कर .

पल गुजरे जैसे  शामे  उल्फत में हमेशा , चैन कभी न मिला उम्र भर  

ऐ मददे  खुदा  मुझे जिन्दगी न लौटा ,पर  कुछ पल लौटा दे सोच कर. 

तूने दी मोहब्बत ,  जिन्दादिली , पर बेरहमी की संतुष्टि,  न दे कर

अगली मर्तबा   नहीं चाहिए संकल्प  , बस संयम देना सोच कर.  

जिन्दा रहे जिन्दादिली में , मशगूल  रहे उम्र भर, एक सच को भूल कर
तेरी एक इसी भूल ने , हजारों को कहा अलविदा , बस एक तेरे को छोड़ कर.

मौत के साथ ही खत्म  हो गए, ये सारे सिलसिले , बस एक लम्हे को छोड़ कर 
जिसे न उजाड़ पाया  जिन्दगी का सच, उसे मौत छोड़ देगी , कुछ सोच कर .
