What happens around a dead person, and how should we care for the body of a deceased individual?

outcome
"At death, the energy of a person radiates the essence of their life; surround yourself with love and compassion, for the quality of this energy can uplift or harm."
According to Osho, at death a person releases all accumulated energy, which radiates around the body; its quality matches the life lived. Sit silently and receive near a loving, compassionate being; avoid proximity to angry or repressed individuals. To prevent harmful emanations, cremate ordinary bodies quickly. Enlightened beings are exceptions—their bodies may be preserved (samadhi) to continue blessing; burials risk spreading lingering, infectious energies.
When someone dies, their stored feelings flow out—so stay close to the kind, avoid the harmful, and burn most bodies soon, keeping only saints who still help others.
Why this matters practically
- Teaches how to behave around the dying and dead: be silent and receptive or keep distance.
- Guides funeral care: cremate quickly for most; preserve saints for continued blessing.
- Protects personal and community well-being from disturbing, infectious energies.
