Am I fooling myself when I feel tremendously excited about death?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Death is not to be feared but embraced; it is the ultimate transformation that reveals the ecstasy of existence when you are truly conscious."
According to Osho, you are not necessarily fooling yourself; death can be an amazing excitement, but only if you have cultivated consciousness. Death itself is just transformation; its ecstasy appears when you can remain aware as the body-mind falls away. Until then, excitement is mostly fantasy. Live beautifully, meditate, create distance from body and mind: then dying becomes the crescendo of life, even a joyous merging with the whole.
Feeling excited about death is true only if you are very aware inside; otherwise it’s just imagination.
Why this matters practically
- Motivates daily meditation and awareness to face death consciously.
- Reduces fear by seeing death as transformation, not annihilation.
- Encourages living beautifully now so dying becomes peaceful and ecstatic.
