Every one has a great fear of death. Death makes people melancholy and they sink into misery. Everyone has to witness death some point in time during his or her life. At such a time hundreds of questions regarding the true nature of death may arise in a person's mind. When he does not find any answers, he becomes perplexed. People have an ardent desire to discover the mystery surrounding death. A lot has been written on the topic, but it is all mere intellectual exercises.

Those who are born do not have knowledge of their prior existence. No one knows what happens before birth and after death. That is why the mystery of how one passes through the time before, during and after death remains unsolved. Dadashri, through his Gyan, has exposed all the mysteries of death exactly as they are.

During the time of death a balance sheet of all one's deeds throughout life arises. This happens one hour prior to death. If one has accumulated in his life by taking what does not rightfully belong to him, be it money or woman, he will go to the animal kingdom. Anything that he acquired by devious use of intellect, will take him to the animal kingdom. If he has been decent and human, he will come back in a human form. After death, there are only four different life forms that one will go to. Those who destroy people's homes and lives for their own gain will go to hell. Those with super-human qualities, who despite being hurt by others, do not retaliate and remain benevolent, go to heaven. When one learns about the facts surrounding death, his fears will be eased.

What is the truth behind the people's common belief of ceremonial offerings to the dead relative? What is the significance of the various socially prescribed ceremonies after death? Will all these rituals benefit the dead? Should one perform such rituals? Dadashri clarifies all these questions succinctly.

A Gnani Purush is someone who remains separate from his body and every event related to the body, separate from birth, and separate from death. He constantly remains the 'knower and observer' of his body. He experiences the eternal state of the Self, free from the bondage of birth and death. Gnani Purush, through His Gyan, sees it all as it is, and candidly tells us about the mystery of life and death, death and life and freedom from both.

The Soul is eternal. It is beyond birth and death. It is Absolute Knowledge. The Self is the absolute knower and observer. The Soul never dies, but as long as you have not become the Soul (Self-realized), you will experience fear. Do you not fear death? If something were to happen to your body, you will begin to have fear about dying. It is because of your conviction and belief that you are this body, that there is death. But if that focus and belief was not one with the body, then death cannot touch you. No one other than the Gnani Purush is able to explain with such exactness and detail, the understanding and qualities of the Soul and the ego.
