“Socrates was poisoned.”
Socrates was poisoned. His disciples asked him don’t you have the fear of death?
Socrates answered in two sentences, beautifully XXX
Beautiful words XXX Socrates said. XXX
There’s nothing to bother, nothing to worry. If I don’t exist, if I disappear completely, then, there is nobody to worry. XXX Then there is nothing to worry. XXX So there is nothing to wait. If I don’t exist, I will not be egoistic XXX
Only these two can happen. Both of these things, there’s nothing to worry. If I don’t exist, no problem. If you don’t exist, nobody to worry, then what is the worry? XXX
Why you worry? XXX Be very clear, with this idea XXX given the punishment of, the punishment, the punishment of king, XXX
Some of his disciples asked him XXX tomorrow morning XXX
He said beautifully. I have lived what I wanted to live so I XXX I’m living moment to moment XXX 05:10 one moment itself is too much for me.
Most of us don’t have a fear about death. XXX We Have not lived fully XXX We have not lived as we want to live. There starts the fear of death. They are not fulfilled. XXX 05:48 Continuously they live for the sake of society. Continuously living for the sake of somebody else. When we continuously live for the sake of others, XXX it is not our destiny. XXX Just for the sake of many reasons. When you’re not living XXX When you’re not living deepest possible way, you will be having the fear of death. If you live the best possible way, if you live fully the way you want to live, you will not have the fear of death. XXX Come on XXX I have finished my duty.XXX
Live without having fear of any obstacles. Live in a way which you want. Live with the deepest individuality, even with not having the fear of death. The fear of life only creates the fear of death. When you are afraid to live. If you are afraid to live as you are, you will be afraid to have death
