How can one get rid of the fear of death?

To conquer the fear of death, embrace it as an inseparable part of life; the brave die once, while the coward dies a thousand times in fear.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, you can’t escape death—it's the inescapable twin of birth—but you can end the constant dying that fear creates. Stop sugarcoating or denying death; face its certainty directly. Acceptance breeds courage: the brave die once, the coward a thousand times. By acknowledging death, you live more fully, authentically, and without ongoing terror.
Be honest that everyone dies; when you accept this instead of hiding from it, fear shrinks and you can really live.
Why this matters practically
- Ends the anxiety created by denial and euphemisms; honesty calms the mind.
- Inspires courageous, present-moment living instead of repetitive “dying” through worry.
- Helps us face others’ deaths with clarity, compassion, and truth.
