Bhaskar has seen the footage after his Death Celebration pictured here.
There is nothing to fear in life, because life is nothing but another name of death. So what is there to fear? It is all going to go; it is already a lost battle. The day one is born the battle is lost! Then there is nothing to fear.
See it clearly, and no worry arises. And then one can dance and celebrate – what else to do? Before death comes, in the little time that is available, dance, sing, celebrate! And if one starts dancing and celebrating, death never comes. Then instead of death, God comes. Even in death, a new door opens to eternal life. It is not an end then, but a beginning, a real birth.
To transform death into real birth is the whole art of meditation.
