The Impermanence Of Life!

Live every moment with happiness!

As death and birth, move hand in hand,
Against the flow of time, none can stand.
No moment is eternal, life a temporary show,
From dust we all came, to dust we all shall go.

Life is inherently temporal. Everything around us is made of dust and will become dust in due course of time. It is a crucial lesson to understand. As we live our lives, we start to take our existence for granted and live our lives as though we will live forever. It leads to attachment to physical manifestations of realities. When we lose these objects, we suffer pain because of it. A true yogi understands and accepts this reality and remains detached from the permanence of life.

The Stoics have long used the practice of meditating on their death to improve their lives. I believe we get closer to the truth as we meditate on our deaths. We understand that nothing is forever and that the world is built of materialistic manifestations of our minds. Death is an eternal truth and shouldn’t be taken negatively. Instead, we should accept it and use it to empower ourselves by making bolder, and riskier choices in our lives.

Another advantage of meditating on death is that our losses in our lives do not look significantly big. Given everything around us will eventually crumble to death, we need not worry about losing some money, or missing a promotion, or facing a setback in a relationship. Life moves on, the world moves on. We are dust, and to dust, we shall return. Embracing death, and the impermanence of life takes away all the fears and lets us live a more peaceful and blissful life.
