    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...
