什麼是死亡?我們為何害怕死亡?死後會發生什麼?它會是一切的終點,還是通往未知彼岸的大門?在絕大多數的社會中,人們鮮少探討死亡,起因是人們恐懼死亡、害怕失去。對此,薩古魯分享其獨到且透徹的見解——既然死亡是生命中無可避免的一環,不去探究死亡,不就是在逃避生命的本質?既然生命終將一死,我們可以透過哪些方法,為自己的離去做好準備?生命中必然會遭遇摯愛、親友離世的失落,當那一刻來臨,我們又該如何陪伴他們走完最後一段路?在他們離開之後,我們依然可以透過什麼樣的方式,為他們的靈性旅程注入力量?薩古魯展現靈性修習的智慧,提出實務的做法,帶領讀者超越現有的侷限,達到真正的覺知。

Yogi, mystic, and bestselling author Sadhguru provides a deeper understanding of death so that we can live more fulfilling lives.
Death is an inevitable part of our lives, yet most societies have struggled to come to terms with it. Today, we continue to grapple with the enduring questions: What is death? Why do we fear it? What happens after death? Is it an end or a doorway to something beyond?
In this unique, clear-sighted exploration of death, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the deeper aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. What if death is not the catastrophe it is made out to be, but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? Avoiding death is avoiding life. Our fear of death is really a fear of loss. Sadhguru shows us how to go beyond that fear so that it no longer rules our behavior. He invites you to explore how living with an awareness of mortality can allow you to experience life more deeply. Coming to terms with death will ensure that you live purposefully, striving to make each moment as beautiful as it can be.
Sadhguru also breaks down the mysteries surrounding death, including practical aspects such as what preparations one can make for one’s death, how best we can assist someone who is dying, and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Drawing from profound wisdom and his own transformative journey, Sadhguru delivers an entirely new and necessary perspective--death not as an end, but part of the continuum of existence.
