If you want that moment of death to happen in full awareness, you have to live a life of awareness.
– Sadhguru
“Death: An Inside Story” by Sadhguru is an introspective exploration of death and the afterlife. This contemplative book, rooted in yogic principles rather than any particular religion, offers profound insights that can alleviate pain and cultivate a deep awareness of the true essence of life.
The book is divided into 3 parts, each exploring different aspects of life and death. The first part sheds light on the mechanism of life and death, emphasizing the significance of death itself. The second part delves into the concept of a “good death” and offers valuable guidance on how to prepare ourselves for this inevitable transition. It covers topics such as karma, death rituals, and the notions of heaven and hell. In the final part, Sadhguru provides intriguing insights into ghosts and spirits while offering practical advice on safeguarding ourselves from their influence.
Through engaging storytelling and captivating concepts, Sadhguru keeps readers enthralled from beginning to end. The book’s key takeaways are particularly thought-provoking. It reminds us that life is meant to be embraced fully and that death, often misunderstood and feared, is simply a natural part of our profound journey. By cultivating awareness, we can transform death into a transition to a new form of existence.
Instead of fearing death, Sadhguru encourages us to approach life with a deep sense of acceptance and a willingness to embrace its challenges. By acknowledging our mortality, we can alleviate the fear of death itself. The book also highlights the importance of preparing for death, as our journey extends beyond our earthly existence. The state in which we depart this world determines the quality of our journey beyond. Nature does not punish or reward man through subsequent births, but unfulfilled desires at the time of death do manifest in suitable bodies later.
Overall, “Death: An Inside Story” is a captivating journey through the mysteries surrounding death, inviting readers to gain a fresh perspective on death and the afterlife. With its engaging narrative style and profound insights, this book is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper comprehension of life’s ultimate mystery – Death.
Sadhguru’s “Death Book” offers a comprehensive perspective on the phenomenon of death, perfect for avid followers of Sadhguru who have immersed themselves in his teachings. This enlightening book delves deep into the spiritual mysteries surrounding death, taking us one step further on our spiritual journey. I highly recommend it to my fellow Isha meditators as an essential read.
