Understanding and Contemplating Death: Swami Sarvapriyananda

Drawing from the wisdom of Swami Sarvapriyananda, these reflections gently dissolve the illusion of identity and our deep attachment to life. They invite us to witness existence with quiet detachment, where death is not an end, but simply the turning of a page in an endless continuum.

Excerpts from Swami Sarvapriyananda’s talk; “I am the witness of the body and mind. I am not this body. Not even this mind. I’ve had so many bodies in the past which I do not remember. Death is like turning a page in a book. I’ve read it. The next page begins…”

Swami Vivekananda
Death is the end of everything. Death is the end of life, of beauty, of wealth, of power, of virtue too. Saints die and sinners die, kings die and beggars die. They are all going to death, and yet this tremendous clinging on to life exists. Somehow, we do not know why, we cling to life; we cannot give it up. And this is Maya.
