... would lose all your moorings. You would not know who you are and where you are. It would almost be a death, and the shock would be too much; you would be shattered. No, it has to be taken in homeopathic doses, very minor doses. By and by one has to acclimatise oneself for it. That's why it happens naturally, very slowly. It happens just for a split second in the beginning... just a glimpse and it is...

..., everything that is born, dies. And in the end, this whole existence one day will die completely; there will be nothing except pure space.

Daizui is right when he says, "It will be annihilated." ON ANOTHER OCCASION, A...

... think about? You cannot go on thinking your ordinary thoughts because they are too trivial in such a moment - when death is just there waiting for you down the hill.

And I thanked the driver and said what I had been trying to tell this man for years and was not able to, he had simply done! If he had died in that moment he would have born on a very high plane.
