How can we prepare ourselves for death?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Prepare for death by releasing all that you possess within; when you hold nothing, fear dissolves, and you greet the unknown as a new beginning."
According to Osho, we prepare for death by not accumulating—neither money, power, prestige, knowledge, nor even spiritual merits. Live in the world but not of it; be “poor in spirit.” When nothing is possessed inside, there’s nothing to lose, fear dissolves, and a pure, uncontaminated consciousness meets death as a new doorway—ready in every moment.
Use things but don’t cling to them, so when it’s time to go, you aren’t scared because nothing inside is being taken away.
Why this matters practically
- Eases fear and anxiety by loosening inner clinging.
- Frees you to live lightly, generously, and fully present now.
- Reframes death as a natural transition rather than a loss.
