As I am getting old, I have started fearing death? Please suggest a solution for this.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Death can come at anytime in one’s life. As long as we were busy in many activities in our lives, we are not afraid of death. When there is nothing left to do, we start to feel that we are going to die.

Everyone has to die one day. But the important thing is that when we die, we should have a smile on our face. We should feel contented that we have fulfilled all our responsibilities and duties.

We all cried when we came into this planet, but it is important, that at least when we go, we are happy and smiling. Do not have regrets in life. You should feel that, ”I have done what I had to do, and whenever the time to leave this body comes, I will die happily”.
Whatever service we can do for others, we should do it before we die.
