For a true relationship to Reality, you must have a fearless conception of ’death’. As clear as knowing your left hand from your right. Only then do the real questions of existence surface.
Say you board a grand passenger ship in New York heading across the Atlantic to England: The boat has everything - theatres, dance floors, dining rooms, tennis courts, swimming pools, night clubs, card rooms, gambling casinos, massage, exercise - all that you can imagine. You go ’Wow!’ But you know that in just two weeks it will be all over. So, you sit down, and think: ’what am I going to do? I can’t do everything! What would be really useful to do?’
We come ’aboard’ in this life - and the trip is over quicker than you can imagine. Life and death already exist in you. Every ’not knowing’ is a small death!
