On death and joy

The notion of death clears up a lot of confusion. When you realize you will die and nothing of this world taken be taken with you, you learn to stop valuing things which you used to value earlier. Also, you realize the futility of all your little worries and anxieties. Most of the little stuff that we spend time worrying about are not worth the worry.

When you are about to die, you realize that to be alive itself is the greatest gift. However, the dust of mundane life accumulates in the form of countless worries over trivial issues. The realization of death wipes clean all of these mundane worries. In some ways, you become bold. Or you may immerse yourself in deep despair.

When you desperately cling to life, it makes you pathetic. You spend extra effort trying to be nice and to please others.

At some point in life, you must take a stand. Or else you will be swept away by its powerful currents.
Stop engaging in futile activities. This alone clears up lots of confusion. Ultimately life's transcendence consists in loving the very life you are living. The energy of love will burn all your fears. To love this very moment just as it is with all your heart is the final realization. There never is another moment.

True joy lies in enjoying the unadulterated bliss of supreme aloneness.

The bliss of true solitude is incomparable and permanent.

True solitude is the realization that there is no one but you.

You alone are life and its experience. There is no other.
