Mayank Sharma's Key Ideas from Death; An Inside Story
by Sadhguru

God is the creation of miserable people. Because there are lots of miserable people in the world, God has thrived. If the world was full of blissful beings, God would disappear. If all of us are truly happy, God has no business in this world. We can handle ourselves. We need God only because we have created so much of misery within ourselves and above all such a fear of suffering.

It is not completely true but we can't deny it's existence.

Today, your children trust Google more than what you or your forefathers have to say. It is unfortunate that we have moved from intuition to information.

People work hard mentally and physically both ways for their whole life and at last when they feel it's the end, they posses only one thing and that is experience. What they observed, what they felt, how they lived their whole life, it's all what they have (A true and pure information of life without any manipulation). I don't know if we should respect someone's attitude or not but we should respect their experiences and their struggles.

You never question Nature’s intelligence, because your intelligence is too small to question the intelligence of Nature. Whatever happens naturally is always right, there is no question about it.

It always moves in the right direction because Nature does not decide things with thoughts and emotion. It just decides things as per your tendencies. This is not a thought. With thought, you can always make a mistake, but with tendencies, there can be no mistake.

Right now, some people want you to believe that the moment you die, you go to heaven and there will be a party organized there; all your relatives and friends are waiting for you and you will have a great time.

You must understand that when you die, you lose your body, but still you are here. You do not go anywhere. It is just that the dimensional shift has happened from being embodied to disembodied, or from physicality to a subtler physicality. It is not a geographical shift from here to heaven or here to hell or wherever it is.

Death is a natural process. If life happens, then death is natural. Being afraid of something natural is unnatural. The fear of death is simply because we are not in touch with reality.

You talk of your body as if you came with it. You did not. You only gathered it. You gathered it while in your mother’s womb and continued gathering it after your birth. Whatever we accumulate, we can say, ‘This is mine.’ But you cannot say, ‘This is me.’

What you've gathered or borrowed from this world is not yours. You earned it or you got it unintentionally but at the end you must return it back to the earth.

The sooner you are disillusioned, the better it is for you.

Another positive word for disillusionment is Enlightenment. Enlightenment is when all illusions collapse.

We must decide in our lives whether we want truth that is liberating or we want fancy lies which give solace.
