Is death a good or bad thing? Why?

Answer 1

Death is neither a good or bad thing. It just comes without asking?


Death has always been the most dreaded factor of life for any living being. It is not only the humans who are afraid of death... animals and other forms of life also feel the same!

What makes death the most fearful of all attributes of God? There is none who can defy death. It is only after gaining self realization and enlightenment that one becomes immortal. It is this stage when the fear of death vanishes for ever. Every God realized Master and an enlightened individual finally overcomes death.

What is to death that is feared about most? Death announces the end of the physical manifested journey on Mother Earth. Whatever be the achievements of an individual in any phase of life... be it the form of an insect, animal or the human being himself... all seems to have gone wasted!


After the death of the body... none remembers what the next manifestation would be! For the present being all is lost after the death of the body. The entity for which it lived all through in the present life seems to be lost forever the moment the death of the body occurs.

The achievements in the present life... do they carry no value. Why does not God Almighty show mercy on human beings and increase their life span proportionate to their achievements in the physical manifested life.

It is a remote possibility that such an arrangement may have worked. Probably God Almighty did not have able advisers. People of the level of Edison and Einstein may have continued living for thousands of years. In doing so they would have immensely benefited the mankind and for God there was nothing to lose. But so was not destined by God. Why?


Why is it so that death makes an uninteresting subject! We may have labored for a full 30~35 years... the primetime of our life having spent in creating an enormous wealth. But when comes the time for death of the body... All shall be left behind. Why?

In the system of God... nothing seems to be disordered or incomplete. Stephen Hawking in his book "a Brief History of Time" has advocated that the system of God is disordered at some stage. He is absolutely in the wrong. He is trying to place his judgments based on science. There are many factors in the field of spirituality which are purely based upon faith.

The conclusions of Stephen Hawking were wrong for the complete cosmic system is without a parallel. It has no flaws... such a phenomenon can never be! Everything in the whole of Cosmos is governed by laws which are a creation of the Creator himself.


If death was designed by God as it stands today... then how can it be that the achievements of an individual in a particular life remained unpaid? The balance of the whole of Cosmos would get disturbed on this account. The law of karma was primarily created by God to maintain this aspect of life.

It is the doctrine of karma which makes the achievements of one life carried forward to the next manifestation. It is through the chromosomes that whatever has been achieved by one in the present life shall get automatically transferred to next life.

Talking of death, near death experiences, sudden death and subjects like life and death... science has a very limited role to play for it is only the parameter of faith which shall lay bare the doors of wisdom for us. Never as a scientist can one enter the domain of God.


Einstein in his fag end of life when he was nearing death realized the importance of having faith in the system of God. It was too late by then. He regretted not having indulged into reading Bhagvad Gita... the foremost of all sacred Scriptures existing on Mother Earth. He realized his folly that standing on the platform of science... talking of spirituality carried no sense.

Standing on the 30th floor of Empire State building one cannot have a glimpse of the entire New York as it would appear if one was standing on the top of the building. To have a complete view from the top we have to rise to the top. And it is only riding the ladder of faith in the system of God can one reach the highest domain of life.

Einstein was a pearl amongst the total scientific community of his age. He was wise enough to have admitted his folly.


As was destined by God Almighty... life goes on and on. The truth is... the present physical manifested form of life carries no meaning for God Almighty. What is to be understood is that it is our soul the atman within which has taken the body and not vice versa.

All the benefits of the karma performed by the body belong to our soul the atman within and this soul is on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations on the whole. Life moves from one manifestation to another with ease. Nothing is lost midway. Whatever be the achievements in a particular manifestation... they are definitely transferred to the next manifestation.

Life runs on truly as a balance sheet compiled by an accountant. The closing balance of the earlier manifestation becomes the opening balance of the new manifestation. Weighing things from the senses point of view the two manifestations are not related but in the world of Souls Atmans all is part of the system of God which cannot err.


If we are able to fathom the fact that it is our soul the atman within which is the beneficiary of all the karma performed... the hard feelings against the death of a body would not only diminish but altogether vanish.

The death of a body is merely the end of a particular phase in cosmic life. It is not the end of the journey itself. The journey was undertaken not by the body but by our soul the atman within.

The theory of evolution as confounded by Charles Darwin also proves this point. Life evolves from one manifestation to another and in the normal routine the next manifestation normally is the next step higher. More on death here- http://www.godrealized.com/Death.html

Answer 3

Death is neither a good thing, nor a bad thing. Death is, very simply, a thing.
Example: a single, young mother who has 2 small children to care for gets killed in a car accident, leaving the kids orphans...
It might seem like a bad thing.
A middle-aged man who is cancer-ridden, and in terrible pain finnaly loses his battle. He is out of pain, and this might seem to be a good thing.

Let's look at possible scenarios that no one knew about...
The young mother was physically, emotionally, and sexually abusing her kids. Now, the kids are in a loving family and are being properly cared for, and have a chance at leading normal lives. NOW, her death is a good thing for the kids- according to most thoughts.
The middle-aged man was a scientist working on a cure for the very same cancer that was killing him, and that would save millions of people. His notes are transcribed in a manner that only he can understand them, and he was only a month from ultimate success. NOW, for most, his death was a bad thing.

Which brings me back to my original statement: Death is neither good, nor bad... Death is what you think it to be.

Answer 4

Death is a natural thing. To lose someone young and healthy can be awfully hard on those who loved him/her...it comes as such a shock, and you never get the chance for a final goodbye.

But when someone old and sickly passes it's looked upon as a blessing. At least that's how I looked at the deaths of my grandfather and my aunt....they suffered from cancer for years. Their passing was almost a relief for everyone involved, although it may seem cruel as you read this.

Answer 5

For me, I know I have a home in Heaven, so it will be a wonderful thing. When we lose someone we love, however, it's normal to feel the sorrow of that person not being with you on a daily basis. But as a Christian, if Heaven is their home, we know we will meet them one day soon!

Answer 6

If you want to live in a world this F@CKED up. If you want to live forever be my guest. But, ARMAGEDDON OUTTA HERE! Death is rest for the weary. It's a release from the troubles of this world. To awaken into paradise. It's a good thing.

Answer 7

death is not a bad thing bringing death under dishonoranble conditions is a bad thing

Answer 8

Like any other stage of life... neither good or bad.

That said, like any other stage of life, there is grief over what has passed, and optimism over what is ahead. However, those things that make you sad aren't necessarily bad.

Answer 9

It is a wounderful thing. If you accept Jesus and live by his word and if you have built up a relationship with him while on earth, death should not be feared. Aposile Paul put it this way "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" you pass from death into life. Jesus said if you believe on me, even if you die, you shall live. Jesus said "In my Fathers house are many mansions" he said"I go there to prepared a place for you, and when I come back I will take you to be where I am so when I am you shall be also." Another good point to ponder is in Psalms 23 it says "I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still eaters. He restores my soul; Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Surely goodness and mercy will follow me All the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" Amen to that. Death is the souls seperation of the body. This body refered to by the Apostile Paul is liked to a tent. He said that when this tent is pulled down, we have a new home not made by human hands. Which means when Christians die, they are not leaving home, they are going home. The saints in Heaven are awaiting a new Heavily body which they will get when Jesus raptures the church. In 1Thessalonians ch 4v13-18 it says "Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him(spirits come back with Jesus to get thier new bodies at the raptured when their graves will split open and thier body's will be reunited with their spirits in the air). According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from Heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet all of Go, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words" I am looking forward to going home to be with Jesus who is an adorable Love, and I am also looking Forward to meting the Father who sits upon his throne. I am look to siting on his knees when I go home. I will go home when I depart this earth either when I die(my body, not my spirit) or when I am raptured up alive without dying, either way I am going home and very much looking forward to it.
