Chapter 1
No Bigger Lie Than Death
28 October 1969 pm in Meditation Camp at Dwarka, Gurujat, India We become free from that which we have known.
We also triumph over that which we have known.
Our failure and defeat are only because of our ignorance.
Defeat is because of darkness; when there is light, defeat is impossible -- light itself will bring triumph.
The first thing I would like to tell you about death is that there is no bigger lie than death.
And yet, death appears to be true.
It not only appears to be true but even seems like the cardinal truth of life -- it appears as if the whole of life is surrounded by death.
Whether we forget about it, or become oblivious to it, everywhere death remains close to us.
Death is even closer to us than our shadow.
We have even structured our lives out of our fear of death.
The fear of death has created society, the nation, family and friends.
The fear of death has caused us to chase money and has made us ambitious of higher positions.
And the biggest surprise is that our gods and our temples have also been raised out of the fear of death.
