Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin

- Ram Dass, It's Only a Dance (1970), ch. "Karma and reincarnation."

Death is not the enemy of life, and it does not mean its end, it only brings life to a beautiful peak. Life continues after death. It was there before birth, it will continue after death.

- Rajneesh Osho “Death is the greatest deception”

Death is birth

« Death- a great mystery. She is the birth of a person from earthly temporary life into eternity. When performing the mortal sacrament we we put aside the rough shell - the body and a spiritual being, subtle, ethereal, we move into another world, to the abode of beings similar to the soul. This world is inaccessible to the gross organs of the body..” - St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) “The Word on Death”

When a person will leave the body, be freed from everything earthly, he will clearly see the size of the sin that he committed. But nothing can be corrected, and responsibility cannot be avoided. And over the course of a lifetime, so much can accumulate that a person will not be able to rise from the quagmire he himself created.

If a person has done good deeds during his life, then his energy is positive, it lifts the person’s clot of energy upward, and they say: he has gone to heaven.

Death is a transformation. A little more serious than adolescence, but nothing worth getting upset about. Death is not sad at all. The sad thing is that many people don't live at all.
- Dan Millman "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior"

"Death is the final destination for us all. No one has ever been able to escape it. This is how it should be, because Death is probably the best invention of Life. She is the reason for change. She clears away the old to make way for the new. .......Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't fall into the trap of dogma that tells you to live in other people's thoughts. Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you really want to become."
- Steve Jobs

"Remembering that I'm going to die soon is the most important tool that helps me accept complex solutions in my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in the face of death, leaving only what is really important. Remembering death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have any reason not to follow your heart. Pride, fears, grievances and failures - they all fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
- Steve Jobs

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the teacher calls the butterfly.

"Who are we? Why are we here on Earth? Where are we going? Why was I born, why was I given this life, where will I go after death and what do I need to do in this life?
Each of us, somewhere deep in our souls, feels that we were born for something very important. Only, not all of us manage to live our lives in such a way as to understand and fulfill our true purpose in this life. Knowing that we truly belong to something higher gives us hope and peace, giving us not just refuge from conflict, but union with the universal mind. One day our long journey will come to an end and we will reach the final stage of enlightenment where everything is possible."
- Michael Newton - Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, Journeys of the Soul, 1994

With the evolution of man as an object of the noosphere, conditions become quite real when the “inner plan” of man, as a result of evolution and, due to the “irreversibility of the polar vector of development,” must move into a qualitatively different, higher, from the point of view of the form of life, state, free from slavish dependence associated with food, and therefore the destruction of living things in nature. Here is what V.I. Vernadsky writes about this: “... did the idea of ​​autotrophy of humanity and the desire for this as a geological phenomenon have predecessors (i.e., by the time a person moves from the state of a heterotrophic substance - living at the expense of another creatures, into an autotrophic state and will use the energy of the sun for life, bypassing living organisms). We must fight for this, since occupying such a position is important for Russian culture..." "...synthesis of food from its elements..."
How modern these words are today!
V. I. Vernadsky's prediction about the possibility of transition from a heterotrophic state to an autotrophic state. ...."death is a temporary evolutionary factor that accelerates the improvement of the body. However, already in the near future, a person, as a result of qualitative changes in his body, can significantly delay old age and death" - V. I. Vernadsky “Autotrophy of Humanity.”

We are born on the physical plane according to the Law of Limitation, and “die” according to the Law of Liberation.

In fact there is no death. There is a transition from the earthly world to the heavenly one. The true homeland of the soul is precisely the heavenly world. Being on Earth is only a small part of your entire existence. Death is nothing but a homecoming, a homecoming. If you understand this, you will stop being afraid of death. Life and death are just milestones on the long path of the soul’s existence. The change of seasons shows us that everything repeats itself, everything is reborn again and again. Winter is not the end of nature's existence. Then spring will come and nature will be reborn. Likewise, death is not the end of your existence. This is just one of his milestones.

Often For the soul, death is liberation, relief. This is grief for family and friends, this is a professional failure for doctors. And for the soul it’s just a return home.

Long life in decrepitude, illness and infirmity - such torture that death is preferable.
Giving your soul the opportunity to realize itself means prolonging your youth and active life. Unfinished business on Earth can also extend life.

Death is painful if a person has not prayed, meditated or led a spiritual life, it is truly painful to separate from this life because he does not want to surrender to the will of God.

When the body wears out, we die, move from one form of life to another, and then a person exists in other dimensions, in a subtle material form.

Death is not the end. Death can never be the end. Death is expensive. Life is a journey led by the soul. When the wanderer is tired and his life has exhausted itself, the leader tells him that he should take a break or a long rest, and then the journey begins again.

Unfortunately, most of We are held to wrong concepts about death. We think that death is something unusual, something destructive. But we need to know right now: death is something natural, normal and, to some extent, inevitable.

Death is a way to renew the body and correct the evolution of the soul by changing circumstances. At the human level of development, the soul is not yet capable of independent full existence outside the body. Therefore, up to a certain level evolutionary development the soul exists in symbiosis with the physical body.

Thought has endless possibilities, but it is still material. Therefore, be very careful about your thoughts, because the subtlest vibrations remain even after the death of the body.

Our life and our death are one and the same. When we understand this, we will no longer have the fear of death or difficulties in life as such.
- Shunryu Suzuki

Everything in the world grows, blooms and returns to its root. Returning to your root means tranquility; consonant with nature means eternal; therefore, the destruction of the body does not involve any danger.
- Lao Tzu

Sayings and Quotes

Quotes famous people about the meaning of life

Recipes from country weeds

Many books have been written about death and love, many words have been said. Every person at a certain age begins to think that his existence has an end. Such understanding usually comes naturally after experiencing some serious events. Being young, we, as a rule, do not think about what awaits us in the future.

But as we get older, we suddenly notice how rapidly values ​​change. Quotes about death help some people realize their value and significance in this world, reveal their existing abilities, and improve relationships with people around them. This is the task of each of us. The quotes below about life and death demonstrate the significance of these two processes, constantly replacing each other.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “They only die for what is worth living for”

It often happens that people begin to value life only when death is already visible on the horizon. This is not at all accidental. After all, while everything is fine, the body is not attacked by disease and old age, no one would think about a sudden end. The greatest value in the world is life itself. It is difficult to argue with this statement and one cannot but agree. Often people are ready to defend only what is truly dear to them. For the sake of loved ones, the vast majority are ready to give their lives and change their usual way of existence. Quotes about death show us how important and significant life itself is with its surprises and unpredictable events. These two concepts are closely related and, in a certain sense, complement each other.

Bertolt Brecht: “We should not be afraid of death, but of empty life”

Nothing harms a person more than a limited worldview. Living your life as meaningfully as possible is the number one goal for modern man striving for self-realization and self-expression. Quotes about death with meaning, like this one, add a significant touch to the concept of “life” and indicate additional perspectives in it.

In fact, it is extremely important to learn to live your life as fully and holistically as possible. How many people spend day after day in empty pursuits and do not develop themselves in any way! This is how degradation occurs and individuality is lost. The worst thing is not physical dying, which we still cannot avoid, but a useless limited existence.

Maxim Gorky: “A hero is one who creates life in spite of death, who conquers death”

Probably everyone will agree that life must be appreciated in all its manifestations. Nothing is so difficult for us as understanding its value in inappropriate conditions. For example, in a situation of serious illness, people are least likely to see long-term prospects and make grandiose plans for the future. Most of us simply withdraw into ourselves when faced with insurmountable obstacles.

A real person knows how to overcome negative emotions and works on his feelings. We must learn to live, despite the most difficult living conditions, and strive to find meaning in everything that surrounds us. Only such a person can be called a truly holistic and harmonious person.

Quotes about death, although not optimistic, still contain a certain degree of wisdom that helps to gain self-confidence and comfort.

Stoics: “Think about death if you want to learn to live”

To truly appreciate the beauty of our individual existence, we need to understand that our body is not eternal. Someday, every person will have to leave this mortal coil and connect with his spiritual essence. This knowledge helps us understand how important and meaningful our stay here on earth is. Quotes about death help you better focus on your real life goal and accomplish your goals. If we appreciated every moment, joy and happiness would become our constant companions.

Thus, quotes about life and death are filled with endless wisdom and patience for all humanity. These short aphorisms can teach a person a lot, provided that he begins to think deeply about important issues and take active action.

Life is such a rare blessing, and death is so easy to achieve. Who came up with this idea - to spend a hard-won life waiting for death to come so easily? Violate your feelings and nature in order to lure fame? This is worse than death for us! Wanting to exhaust to the bottom all the pleasures of our only life, to experience all the joys of these years, we are only worried that an overfilled stomach does not prevent us from drinking plenty; so that the loss of strength does not prevent one from indulging in carnal pleasures to the fullest. Neither bad fame nor danger to life saddens us. Yang Zhu

Distribute your life wisely: not as chance dictates, but so that there is both benefit and pleasure. Without respite, life is painful, like a long journey without hotels; the variety of knowledge makes it enjoyable. Use the first stretch of the path in a good life to talk with the dead: we are born for knowledge and for self-knowledge, and books, serving us faithfully, make a person out of a person. Carry out the second stage with the living: notice and examine everything beautiful in the world. Not all the best is found in one country: Our universal Father distributed the dowry to different lands, and it may turn out that the ugly girl is richer than everyone else. The third stage is all for yourself: the highest bliss in reflection. Gracian y Morales

Man's life is short and powerless; A merciless and dark fate is slowly and inexorably falling on him and his entire family. Not noticing good and evil, recklessly destructive and omnipotent matter follows its inexorable path; a person condemned today to lose what is most dear to him, and tomorrow to go through the gates of darkness himself, can only cherish, until the blow is struck, the lofty thoughts that illuminate his short days; despising the cowardly fear of a slave of fate - to worship a shrine created by his own hands; without fear of the power of chance, to keep the mind from the senseless tyranny that dominates his external life; challenging the inexorable forces that for the time being endure his knowledge and his curses, to hold the world on himself, like a tired but not giving up Atlas. To hold - despite the unconscious force crushing everything in its path - the world created by his ideals. Russell B.

Life is what people strive most to preserve and protect least. Labruyère J.

Don't start life where you have to end. Others will rest at the beginning of the journey, leaving work until the end. No, first - the main thing, and there will be time - secondary. Another would like to win before the battle.

Only I could not unravel the knot of death.

Remembering that I will die soon is the most important tool that helps me make difficult decisions in my life.

Remembering death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have any reason not to follow your heart.
Jobs Steve

The first sign of the beginning of knowledge is the desire to die. This life seems unbearable, the other seems unattainable. You are no longer ashamed that you want to die; you ask to be transferred from the old cell, which you hate, to the new one, which you are just beginning to hate. There is also a remnant of faith that during the journey the chief will accidentally pass along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: “Don’t lock this one up anymore. I'm taking him with me."
Kafka Franz

Since we do not know what death is, it is illogical to be afraid of it.

Death is probably the best invention of Life. She is the cause of change. She clears away the old to make way for the new.
Jobs Steve

Old age is just disgusting. I believe that it is ignorance of God when he allows people to live to old age. Lord, everyone has already left, but I still live.
