What should I do to overcome my fear of death?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Embrace death as a natural part of life, for it is not an end but a restful release from the futile chase of existence. In accepting death, you truly learn to live."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, drop the fear by seeing death as a natural, auspicious part of existence—the same source that births you also ends you. Fear only makes you die daily; acceptance lets you live rightly. Question what you think death can take, stop chasing immortality, and trust death as a restful release from futile circling.
Treat death like bedtime after a long day—natural and safe—so you can stop worrying and truly live now.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces daily anxiety so you can be present and joyful.
- Frees you from empty routines and compulsive chasing.
- Helps you meet aging and loss with trust, dignity, and peace.
