When death becomes meaningless


" And to say that, 'this life is misery' is to accept our own thoughts generated in the mind. If we didn't accept this existence as misery, paradoxically Life and Death are the same movement. Like Love, Death is state of mind. So, one must totally die to find what Love is. And to go into the question of what is Death, What kind of Life is beyond death - whether there is re-incarnation, whether there is resurrection - all that, becomes rather meaningless if you don't know how to live. Therefore, our world is a mere reflection of who we have become"

We are beings of limited capacities, and limited mental capabilities. Yet, we live in an universe of infinite knowledge of infinite truth.
Some of us use our capacities and capabilities to discover, to understand and to investigate.
Since our capacities are limited, we must understand that our conclusions are mere perceptions of "our journey".
None of us have the complete truth, rather each one of us has his own perception of the truth.
Since the creator is infinite in knowledge, presence and wisdom, we cannot fully understand the creator, let alone judge the creator and to fight with each other over which viewpoint is the correct one.
