Ultimate truth of life – Death

As the title
suggests, the ultimate truth of life is death. It is inevitable or unavoidable.
It is said that life and death are the two sides of the same coin. We have no
control over them.
Death is the topic
that I’ve neither written anything about nor would like to write but something unfortunate
happened recently in my life. It takes courage to touch such a sensitive topic,
perhaps I didn’t have that courage earlier. I am trying to share my realization
from such an incident.
It completely altered
my perception of life, having observed death so closely, recently. I had never
imagined the intensity of grief that would follow the aftermath, and I would
struggle to move on.
Writing has been
an important part of my healing process. So, I am writing on topics that are
running through my mind, which I would’ve hesitated to write about, earlier. For
someone like me who writes about inspiration, hope, or optimism, discussing death is something so contrasting but how can I write about happiness
while dealing with gloom in my heart?
For most people,
death represents loss, rare are those who think of it as a way of liberation; liberation
from this materialistic world or physical body that’s subjected to decay due to
time and disease. I believe in rebirth i.e. life after death and the one who has
done enough good deeds can escape this cycle of life and death.
As many Hindu Scriptures
state the purpose of life is to get salvation; Moksha which
can’t be possible without facing death. So, death is a kind of exam that
everyone must face whose result can be salvation for the selected ones.
Knowing the fact from the Bhagavad Gita that the soul is indestructible and gets its physical form through different bodies, gives a bit of comfort, but inviting that soul into this material world when it has the chance to attain salvation seems to be a selfish desire.
I may not frame perfect conclusions for my articles these days but it seems to be a bit struggle for me, at the moment, to elaborate beyond the will of my mind, so I have to stop here until any new idea comes up.
