Life Death and Beyond

Consciousness of Death Can Change Our Life himself, will have to stand before the Lord of the worlds. His greatest concern will be how to save himself from the admonishment of God in the Hereafter. He will fear Hell the most and will desire Paradise the most. Awareness of the reality of the Hereafter will be clearly evident in every aspect of his life. Consciousness of Death Can Change Our Life If a person remembers his own death, it becomes a means to demolish his worldly aspirations. After that, for him no aspiration remains an aspiration. The material things that people get excited about will no longer give him any pleasure. Awareness of the reality of death reminds us that we will have to face a day when suddenly everything will totally change. We may be in our home, enjoying ourselves with our family. Or, we may be among our friends or with colleagues at work. All of a sudden, the angel of death will arrive. Then, tossing away our body like the skin of some discarded fruit, he will take our soul to another world. Those whom we spent years amidst—our family, friends and colleagues—will know nothing about where we have gone. Awareness of death makes a person very serious about life. His biggest concern is now to seek answers to existential questions such as, “Who am I?”, “What am I?”, “What is life?”, “How should I live?”, “What is death?”, “What will happen to me after I die?”, and so on.
