SECRETS OF LIFE AND DEATH - TYPES OF DEATH
Sharma
Death is the only definite of life. Anything can change, a pauper can become the richest, miser can become the most generous, chronically ill can become a picture of health, the most sorrowful can become most joyous; these are all indefinites. Health, wealth, comfort, good relations can or cannot be found in life but one thing is always found at end i.e. death. When the consciousness leaves forever and essential activities of body stops its death. It can be categorized into three types : natural, sudden and untimely.
1. NATURAL DEATH : The body weakens with aging. When the body is no more capable to hold back the life force it releases it, resulting in death. Death due to deformities from birth and after a long disease can also be categorized into natural death.
2. SUDDEN DEATH : Death in any kind of accident, be it caused by road accident, falling from height, fire, water, falling heavy things, murder, strokes or any other reason, which can't be predicted in advance over a short period of life is sudden death.
3. UNTIMELY DEATH : Untimely death here means suicide. Poison, hanging, burning, drowning, shooting, jumping from height etc. can cause this death. It is willingly caused to oneself with a wish to end life.
From these three types natural death is most desired, sudden death cannot be controlled always and untimely death is to be avoided, it's the worse one.
WHY UNTIMELY DEATH IS WORSE
Natural and sudden death is caused without any consideration to the wishes of living being, whereas untimely death is like encroaching the rights of supreme originator of life, its murder of oneself. When time allotted to one life form is completed the fire of life within extinguishes. It can be assumed that duration of stay on this earth is destined; life style increases or decreases it to some extent. So natural and sudden deaths are not any deeds, these are happenings. In case of untimely death the allotted time is not completed and death is willfully caused to oneself. It is not a happening, it's a deed which binds the consciousness even after death.
EVADING DEATH
Some persons have miraculous escapes from disease or accidents. Someone tries to commit suicide but is saved. There are reasons for all these things. Some unfinished tasks, great joys, deepest sorrow related with some future happening, relation put away death. May be the willing to die person has to
- bring a new life in this world
- get a new wonderful relation or find the joys of existing ones
- do something which has an effect on many
Anything can hold back the life. It is always good to live on and try to do better.
