DEATH
Present Moment Awareness
Life is where? In the Present. Where are we? Past or Future.
X = Past X1, X2, X3 etc.
Y = Present
Z = Future Z1, Z2, Z3 etc
We are in Y always. Y alone is actually. But since our attention is on X or Z, there is no connection between us and life. In the end we have not lived at all! Since Y is Life. By constantly switching between X and Z, time runs away, and when death comes we panic. But if you live more and more with Y, you will be in touch with life, you are really living. Infact even when death comes you will be alive. But right now, even before death comes you are already fearing it, since you are in Z. Death is nothing but a thought about the future.
