What should I do about the fear of death?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Embrace the reality of death, for in the awareness of the eternal witness within, fear dissolves and life becomes a celebration of the moment."
According to Osho, you cannot escape death, but you can end the fear by knowing the deathless witness within. Stop avoiding mortality; consciously contemplate it—sit with burning pyres, remember impermanence—so identification with body and mind loosens. This remembrance turns you toward the eternal, beyond time. In that awareness, attachment drops, priorities clarify, and fear dissolves.
Look straight at death instead of hiding from it, and find the quiet part of you that never dies—then the fear fades.
