The Nature of Life and Death

English book, p. 79

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

One positive contribution of death is that it makes you live in contentment, and contentment is the only source of peace and a tension-free life. In fact, the desire for more and more is an outcome of unawareness about death and contentment is a result of awareness of this universal fact. The concept of death serves as a speed breaker in one’s life. Death makes people adopt a realistic approach. Death reminds one of one’s limitations. Death is like a corrective measure in one’s life, the concept of death serves as a check and balance force in life. Death serves as a regulator of life. Death serves as a positive teacher of every human being. Death enables one to live a healthy and constructive life. The concept of death makes you set your target and priorities, and then exert all your energy and time for that target. Death is not a negative event in one’s life; it has a completely positive lesson. One positive contribution of death is that it makes you live in contentment, and contentment is the only source of peace and a tension-free life.
