If the soul doesn't die and have this knowledge because it has been through many 'deaths' already then what is there in myself that is afraid of the 'Death' ?

It is your ego that is afraid of death. Jivan Mukta is when your ego dies while your body lives. When we experience that, all fear of death falls away permanently and we see death for what it truly is, a magnificent illusion.

"Know the state of your inner being; meet with the Guru and get rid of your skepticism. To reach your True Home after you die, you must conquer death while you are still alive." (Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 21.)

Actually this bout of fear comes in again and again to me. I had this realization about my mortatility very early in childhood but since then I have not got over it. And now the skeptism has come along with it that whether there is anything after death or it is just that we cease to exist just as we began to exist at birth. I know Gurbani is full of hope and have many verse to say otherwise. I have found solace many times in these words of Guru. But this time even that is not working.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It exists as matter or energy according to its frequency. One can be converted into the other according to the ratio E=MC2. When the body dies that energy previously contained in it continues to exist. It cannot just cease to exist....

Thanks. But currently I am full of so many questions and thoughts and I am not being able to understand much. Could you please pray for me that Guru shows me the path and satisfies my inner quest.

miya holds every one back we can all say that we are ready to die but are we?

since i was a child my mother told me nmot to fear death as it will happen i listend and have kept that instil;led within my heart. but she has seemed to forget this teaching of hers. every day you must have in your mind that you will die the next so that you can give everything your all in this way you will suceed! your mind is still attached to the imperminant body and world which will always be destroyed. i suggest a theropy for you my freind. listen to these banis./ kirtan or chant theses shabads every day the famous: salok mohella 9 for forty days for half of these in english the other half in gurmakhi

so thats 20 days of the salok in english and another 20 in gurmukhi to instill the gurus message within your heart mind and breath

also recite raag jaijavantee mohella 9 it takes up one and a half pages of adi sri guru garnth sahib ji a quick and beutifull bani that gives realization hers the link freind. on ang 1352 to 1352 link text

hopfully this will help wahiguru ji ki khalsa wahiguruji ki fateh gurbarakal gurbarakal sat sri sat sri akal he akal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
