Death

I think one thing that we should think about now and then is our own death. Different people experience different things when they think about their own death. To me it indicates how transient and insignificant the sense of 'me' is in this infinite cosmic continuum. That does help me in turning my mind inward to question the sense of 'me'.

Thinking about death is not necessarily masochistic. I understand it could be done that way too. That is counterproductive. But, it is certainly possible to think about death in a non-masochistic way and that will bring about a lot of moderation and humility in our lives!


ஊனிற்காக ஏங்கி அழுது வாடினாலும்
வாராது போவானோ யமதர்மனே?
ஞானத்திற்காக ஏங்கி உருகி வாடினால்
காக்காமல் போவானோ அவன் அப்பனே?
