Because we are so very afraid of death, we are
not even able to meditate.
Many people come to me and say that they are
unable to meditate. How shall I tell them that
their real problem is something else? Their real
problem is the fear of death... and meditation is
a process of death. In a state of total meditation
we reach the same point a dead man does. The
only difference is that the dead man reaches
there in an unconscious state, while we reach
consciously. This is the only difference.
The dead man has no knowledge of what
happened, of how the shell broke open and the
kernel survived. The meditative seeker knows
that the shell and the kernel have become
separate.
The fear of death is the basic reason why
people cannot go into meditation -- there is no
other reason...
