Death???

Osho would say:

When Death is comming to fetch you, see that nobody is at home.

Wayne L. offers a helpful analogy to answer your question, IMO.

The next time that you look at a wave that is produced by an ocean or body of water, observe what happens to it when it no longer appears as a wave.

That is what happens to the appearance of you.

All appearances are made up of time (duration) and space (locality), the stuff of their temporal nature.

A wave appears to be born, and inevitably appears to die.

So do you.

When the appearance of a wave no longer appears in time and space, it dis-appears... as a wave.

But the waves, as Wayne reminds us, are the ocean.

Nonduality appearing as duality.

Or being appearing as becoming.

Looking for a purpose for the appearance and dis-appearance of waves (i.e. "do you spin in death and birth circle until you got realized?")... is to think like a wave. Which is a normal and not unexpected thing to do for a wave.

The ocean, on the other hand, does not possess any purpose for appearing as waves.

It would just be another wave if it had one.

For purpose is a characteristic of a wave. The ocean, on the other hand, is characteristic-less.

Thanks, amati, for an opinion. 'subfot' means nothing, I give no meaning for it at all...
Waiting for more opinions... :)

Hello subfot
Howde mate?

Can we also try one thing?

Do we hear sounds unexpectedly (without any prior thought of hearing them)?

In a day ….many times, say like a car honking its horn, doors closing, foot steps , bell ringing. Now the thing about it is….mmm… say you suddenly heard a shout/ sharp noise/ car door closing…whatever…. can you answer the following questions after hearing such sound unexpectedly:

1. When did the sound begin?
2. When did it end?
3. For how long was it?

Not even Buddha can. Or can we put it this way? only a Buddha cannot.

Regards

Ps hey, could you tell me what subfot means?
