Gurudev, what happens when we die?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Why do you want to know? I don’t want you to feel bored afterwards. It’s like knowing everything about a movie before you go for it, then there is no thrill in it. Have some suspense. There is so much to know about life. If we don’t know what life is now, and want to know about it after death, you will come back again. It will be like that movie, Groundhog Day. Let us see what life is!

If you go deep in meditation, there will be no fear of death. We will leave this body with a smile, with contentment and become richer souls. A dimension which is so huge, so beautiful will be ours. Our life here is just a tip of the iceberg. Let’s live this life with contentment, love, sharing and caring; doing service to everyone around us!
