Fear and Death

 I do not fear death; the only thing that troubles me is whether I will have to reincarnate again.

Once born as a human being, whether of noble status or poverty, no one can avoid the “eternal slumber.” the vast, boundless universe always operates according to the law of “formation, existence, decay, and destruction,” pulling everything in the world into its endless cycle.  Humans, too, are not outside this grand process. birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws that cannot be altered, so why should we fear when it serves no purpose?

Anita Moorjani, the author of what if this is heaven, went through a profound near-death experience and from it learned valuable lessons about life.  After experiencing the feeling of standing at the edge between life and death, she realized one important thing: this life can become heaven if we know how to live it and understand what we need to do to create true happiness.

Anita Moorjani shares that after her near-death experience, she no longer feels afraid of death or the challenges of life.  She began to change her perspective on existence and recognized the value of every present moment.  Instead of chasing worries, stress, or societal pressures, she chose to live fully in the present, savoring every moment of life.

She wrote: “I want to live in heaven here and now.” For her, heaven is not a distant place or a reward after death, but rather, it is this life, in this very moment.  Heaven is present in the peace, freedom, and love we can create in our everyday lives.

Anita Moorjani found ways to dispel the fears, terror, and exhaustion that once haunted her.  She understood that when we no longer live in fear, we can open our hearts to embrace the real joys of life.  In this way, heaven is no longer something far off, but a state of mind that we can achieve when we learn to appreciate life and live fully in the present.

Her thoughts offer us a new perspective on life.  Sometimes, we focus too much on the future or become too anxious about things that have not yet happened, forgetting that the only moment we truly have is the present.  When we let go of worries and fears, we will find peace within ourselves and create a life where we feel as though we are living in heaven.

Instead of fearing or avoiding death, we should joyfully accept it and shift our perspective on life.  If one day we all must leave this world, rather than dwelling on regret, let us cherish every moment we are alive.  Don’t waste time on trivial games, meaningless pleasures, or petty grudges.  Turn each day into a memorable one, filled with meaning and joy, leaving behind valuable lessons for future generations.  Heaven is not the destination but the journey we take each day.
