Why death ?

Killing is said to be the greatest sin … and so it is … but how is it that God kills everyone , His laws cause everyone and everything’s demise

A rich man arranges his wayward son , who has rejected his father , to become independent of him,  by secretly arranging for a business opportunity to work out in his sons favour . The business is a small fraction of the father’s vast unlimited global business empire .

Later, the father , seeing his son unsatisfied with his small gains , arranges for the business to collapse .  The son has no choice but to return home in a humbled spirit .A reconciliation takes place between father and son . In time, the son realised his father was always his well wisher .The sons rightful inheritance is realised . Ultimately ,the son came to realise the love of his father and that a happy, anxiety free life was rightfully his . Was the father cruel to bring about such arrangements, his sons best interests ?

Birth , death , old age , and disease are circumstances that are chosen by our independent consciousness and independent decisions , not God . God knows of our full potential of life, and he knows we have chosen the inferia  conditioned nature to try to enjoy . He repeatedly makes arrangements for us to understand our full potential in many, many ways ,through philosophy,  saints , theological texts, and by inspiration within our hearts. He is always with us as the supersoul. The Christian call the supersoul thd Holy Ghost .

The full potential of a spiritual body , a spiritual mind with spiritual senses, and ever increasing and ever new unlimited spiritual emotions are delineated by Srila Rupa Goswami in his Bhakti Rasamrita Sindu. The real connoisseurs of the highest emotions are not artists or classical musicians, but those that dive deep into the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss of spiritual life, a life displaying full spiritual emotions of love of God and his associates . Sri Vrndavana Dharma has been described by the followers of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.  “All you need is love,” the Beatles once sang , a hint perhaps of reality. Rasa or the highest of loving exchanges can only be displayed fully and unlimitedly,  in ever increasing qualities in association with Krishna . He is therefore known as Rasa Raja, the supreme personality of Godhead, who is the most expert at sharing spiritual love . KRISHNA is the person who  , within our heart of hearts , we are really searching for .

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, “Think of Me  and become my devotee “

If you think of Krishna in any way , you will become purified and liberated . In the Bhagavatam, some people think of Krishna in inimical ways , but still, they become liberated. Krishna’s life is unlimited , those that think of Him will become unlimitedly free from the shackles of material nature .  Independent self seeking , based on material desires, will be rejected for  blissful love for Krishna .The Gopies of Vrndavana are the perfect example of unalloyed love of God .

The brides of Christ and Hildegard von Bingen knew much of this topic . It’s a universal truth, not limited to time or cultures .

So death brings something greater , death is meant to teach  us to consider real life , a life beyond atoms, elements, and compounds with the accepting and rejecting  mind based on selfish motives .Without death of the material body , spiritual life would not be realised..
