Every day death is there

Love.

I received your letter.
It is good to know that your mother’s death
has made you consider your own.
One has to go through the very awareness of death
to reach deathlessness.

The thrust of death goes deep
but cunningly the mind goes on evading it.
Don’t evade it,
don’t console yourself –
any kind of consolation is a suicide.
Let yourself feel the wound of death completely:
wake up and live with it!
This will be hard
but revolution always is.

Death is,
it is there always,
but we forget about it.
Every day death is there,
every moment.
