Those Who Stay in the Name Are Free — Even From Death's Fear
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The humble servants of the oneness — those absorbed in the Name, who have genuinely connected to it — the pain of birth and the fear of death are erased for them.
They have found the One who never ends, the One beyond all. And they receive honor throughout all the worlds.
The two great fears that haunt human life — the suffering of being born into a body (and the suffering that comes with it) and the terror of dying — both dissolve when genuine connection to the oneness is established.
Not because the body no longer suffers or dies. But because the one who is suffering and dying is recognised as not being the whole story. The wave suffers and dies. The ocean remains. Those who have genuinely touched the oneness have glimpsed the ocean — and the fear of the wave's ending loses its grip.
Do you fear death? If you do, what specifically is it that you fear? And is there any version of thinking about it that makes it feel less frightening?
