Death
is an inescapable and inevitable reality. To ignore it is
utter foolishness. To avoid it is impossible. To hope for
physical immortality is absurd.
Make death a part of life by understanding that life without
death is incomplete. As soon as we are born, we begin to die.
Life is sacred and so we cannot afford to squander it in daydreams,
fantasies, and false hopes. Life without death, pleasure without
pain, light without darkness, and good without evil, are never
possible. We must either accept both or rise above both, by
overcoming embodiment through the Knowledge of the Self. Death
is certain for all who are born. As the Bhagavad Gita
says: "For to that which is born, death is certain, and
to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore you should
not grieve over the unavoidable."

Freedom comes when Desires end
"When
all the desires that dwell in his heart are got rid of, then
does the mortal [man] become immortal and attain Brahman in
this very body."
