I have been trying to find the meaning of birth, then family, relatives, friends, lovers, marriage, kids and finally death. I am totally confused by this aspect of life itself. When a man dies, he can no longer smile or weep and his body starts to deteriorate after a a few days. A lover can no longer say "I Love You" after he is dead. Whether a man was highly selfish and dishonest (Hitler ?) or whether he was an honest man (Abraham Lincoln ?), after death everything becomes same. In my culture, we have a concept of meditation (known as Hath Yog) related to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini" rel="nofollow"> Kundalini </a>. Kundilini actually lies in every human but is in sleeping condition, the one who awakes his Kundilini can move the position of the planets across the universe but then he also has to face the consequences of disturbing a natural order. Earlier Indian monks has their Kundilini awakened after years of practice. Then they used to leave their body (people call it soul leaves the body which is not true. I don't remember the exact word monks used for this), then they will travel the whole universe and then come back. During that part if you take their body and burn it, they won't feel any pain. So the monks used to live and die everyday, hence when finally the death came, to them it was like a daily routine of cleaning their teeth. Based on all my experiences, the one thing I have found to be true is that ancient Indian monks did use to live and die everyday. May be that was the reason, one of the oldest Martial-Arts <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalarippayattu" rel="nofollow"> Kalari </a> is not popular in India. Indian monks were not interested in anything related to body and its connection with this physical world. There is nothing that confuses me other than the birth-death phenomenon. I do want to live and die everyday, I want to understand this daily yet very mysterious phenomenon of life and death. Yes, death does come out of nowhere.
