Questioner 1: I was not privileged to know
Ryan personally, but in the last year that I’ve gotten to know Amita, she has shared so much about him and his spirit and we’ve shared her experience of Ryan’s passing. And closer to the end of his time here and
it was very similar for me with my father, and we’ve shared a lot of those experiences. And for me it was bittersweet and there was
so much sweetness in that, those last days. And I’m wondering if you can talk a little
bit about that transition for us and how we can… I don’t want to say do it better but how
we can experience it with a new perspective because it is something that really shifted
how I see it and experience it. Sadhguru: Your own or somebody else’s? Questioner 1: My… (Laughs) not my own but I mean probably both,
but really be… being here after someone passes, and going through that with them. Sadhguru: Tch, I want you to listen to this
carefully because (Laughs) this could be easily misunderstood. Because when someone loses someone who is
dear to them, it’s like a piece of their life has been taken away. And it goes through various processes of grief,
loss, cherishing many things that they were, variety of things. Not all of it can be articulated. But at the same time, we are not the first
people to be born on this planet, nor are we going to be the first to die on this planet. In our lives, whether we are going to get
educated or not, we don’t know when we are born Whether we are going to get married or not,
we do not know, whether we are going to bear children or not, we do not know. Whether we are going to do this, that, and
so many things in the world or not, we do not know. But we know one thing – that we are going
to die. Yes or no? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: That’s one certainty, isn’t it? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: Though it is such an obvious thing,
we are not able to come to terms with it. Somebody was asking me, “Sadhguru, how do
snakes die – where do they die? Because we don’t see ever a dead snake unless
it’s killed by somebody.” They are asking this question in a tropical
country and I think it’s relevant in California also where there are actually millions of
snakes. But they’re quiet lives, they don’t show
themselves too often, unless you step into their terrain somewhere. And they don’t show themselves, they’re
just there. So where do they die? This is something very wonderful, particularly
cobras. When they want to die, when they know they
should die, they will withdraw, find one perch somewhere and go sit there and they won’teat for over eighteen to twenty days. They will not eat anything and sit in the
same place, and they’ll die there. At one time out of misplaced compassion (Laughs),
I brought down these cobras, because I knew where they would be sitting. I would pick them up, bring them and try to
force feed them. Try to put some food into them and do something
about it, but do what you want, they won’t accept a little bit of food. If you leave them, again they go and sit in
the same place. And they will die there quietly. I’m saying a crawling creature has that
much awareness, knows how long this body should be on and when it should go. Similarly your life and every other life has
this consciousness as to when it should exit this body. Either because we broke the body in some way or because simply, the necessary intensity in the body doesn’t exist anymore to sustain life. So we must understand when I say… when I
use certain words, do not understand it in normal sense, when I say a… a life decides
when to leave, it’s not like you think about it and you decide, not that kind of decision. In its own way, not with thought, many decisions
about who you are is not decided by your thought it’s simply made, isn’t it? Like that, a life decides when to leave, as long as it’s here, we will do everything to preserve it and to hold it and keep it with us because we cherish and value that life. But once it leaves we must respect that, because
that life has chosen to leave. Now when I say life, I am not talking about
the person. I am not talking about the personality. I am not talking about variety of thoughts
and emotions and activities that person was involved in. You as a person never want to leave, because
you want to be an endless psychological drama. But life wants to leave at a certain time. Whether you like it, you don’t like it, life
wants to leave because it doesn’t want to be trapped in the physical form that you have gathered forever. It doesn’t want. It enjoys the physical form only to a certain
length of time, after that, even if everything is well, many lives leave. You will see this particularly in India, yogis
will decide when to leave. When they are very healthy and well, they
sit down and they leave. Other people think, “Why? He was healthy, why should he leave?” So you want to get sick and die? Do you want to suffer in the hospital for
three years and then only leave? Is that the only way to go? Participants: No… Yeah. Sadhguru: Please, listen to this carefully
because this is a situation. I’m not trying to trample on anything, but
I want you to listen to this carefully. Is it true that the final thing you do in
your life is death? Hello? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: So, the last thing that you do in
your life, is it not very important that you do it gracefully? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: Huh? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: You’re… You’re all from Los Angeles, you must do
it in style, isn’t it? (Laughter) At least gracefully. Is it also not important that other lives
who are around us when their time comes, we must facilitate that they must be able to
leave gracefully? Not make them a victim of medical industry
that is going on around us? Hello? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: Tell me, if what purpose does it
serve if you stretch a life which is about to exit now, for another three months with
all kinds of supports. Three months you stretched it in pain and
misery, what does it mean? It just means that you’re ignorant about
the nature of life and you want to cling to something that you know and you don’t want to know anything that you do not know. It’s very important, we know the person. We know this person and this person and
this person, that’s fine. We’ve enjoyed their personalities, but you
have not touched the nature of their life. Because unless you touch the nature of your
life, you cannot touch the nature of another life So the most important thing we need to do
is, we don’t have to talk about death, prepare for death, nothing is needed. What we need to do is – beyond this body,
which we have gathered which you have agreed with me that you accumulated this. Beyond this mind, which is also an accumulation
of impressions and… and information. Beyond your accumulations, if you sit here
right now and experience the life that you are, you will have absolutely no issue with
any aspect of life, which includes death. Death is not another thing, death… death
is an ongoing thing, right now all of us are dying slowly. One day, it’ll be complete. You think it’s going to suddenly happen
one day? It is already on, isn’t it? Hello? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: Is it not on? It is on in every one of us. Should we not conduct this process – see
you can call this right now, I can say I’m living. Another way of saying it is I’m dying. I’m dying right now. We want to stretch it as much as we can. But to know this experientially, not trying
to figure this intellectually is most important. Because intellectually if you figure, you
will always be one against the other because this is the nature of intellect. That intellect cannot perceive anything without
creating two. So you have created life and death, there
is no such thing as life and death. Life and death is one package, isn’t it? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: Hello? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: It’s one package. As we are living as we are also dying right
now. The question is, how gracefully you do it. If you learn to do this moment absolutely
gracefully, you will also conduct that moment absolutely gracefully. That is not a different kind of moment, that’s
the same moment. In the yogic science it goes like this, every
inhalation you’re born, every exhalation, you die. When you were born as a little infant, the
first thing you did was inhalation, isn’t it (Gestures a gasp)? What do you think is the last thing you will
do? Participants: Exhale. Sadhguru: Exhalation, isn’t it? Right now when you sit here – inhalation,
exhalation, inhalation, exhalation, inhalation, exhalation, next inhalation did not happen
and suddenly a big man is gone, poof. Yes or no? Participants: Yes. Sadhguru: That’s how fragile it is, I want
you to see this. Every moment it’s happening, if this exhalation
which went out, if it doesn’t come back, this one (Referring to Oneself) is gone. How many things a man can do? But at the same time just see how fragile
this is… this is you’re yo-yoing with your life every moment. If you don’t know how to pull it back, it
will go away. But it doesn’t feel like that right now,
I’m real. I’m not going to die today. A whole lot of people thought so, before you
and me. We must understand mortality is the fundamental
reality of our existence. If we do not come to terms with this one thing, believe me, you don’t know any other aspect of life in reality, you know only the drama. Because this is the most fundamental nature
of our existence – that we are mortal. When we are born, it is declared that we are
going to die, isn’t it? How long is the only question. I bless you with a very long life, thank you
very much for being here (Laughs) (Applause).
🙏🙏🙏
Hello?
Peaceful, fearless, Graceful Death.. That's what everyone should opt for..
This is undoubtedly the best speech of Sadhguru
Deepest Thanks
Wonderful! It's sad, in a way, that western religion and western medicine doesn't adhere to these profound concepts. How much easier it would be for transition to occur if only we did learn and understand these concepts.
Thx sahdguru
My grandmother is on her deathbed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yes, the last thing we do in life is prepare for our death. To prepare to finally and voluntarily let go is our final duty. We must acknowledge when our time has come and accept the cycle.
it's ok for old body to leave this life ! But what about children , why should they leave their body !!?? it's not warn out !!!! how can anyone be happy seeing his child die!!?
Even in the most learned man, who knows that this body will go, and who say, "never mind, we have hundreds of bodies, the soul cannot die" – even in them with all their intellectual convictions, we still find this 'clinging' on to life. Why is this clinging to life?
Pranams SadhGuruji
How sadguru said so easily you are all from Los Angeles so you must approach death gracefully. When sadguru said hello to the audience than all are silent because nobody want to die. This is truth mortality is the fundamental reality of every individual on earth. Every exhalation we are dieing and every inhalation we are born that is excellent and awesome said by sadguru. Gd ngt sir
God bless you my friend, a truly remarkable man

Very Well Explanation
Very informative
Sadhguru is very sharp. A genius who offers the correct advice
It doesn't matter whether true or not. What I know is, I have had this near death experience before. So I know. I don't have to believe! Life=self
Brilliant teaching. Never thought of it and how I never thought of it but then again that's why we listen to Sadhguru. Thank you for sharing. Like you mentioned Sadhguru
Truly amazing !! Makes so much sense .Thanks.
Poor snake!
wow…so true
Learned nothing
Sadguruji, please tell me how to avoid fear of painful death?
so perfect analysis about life & death …only Sadhguru can explain such thing which are beyond our perception like this way so easily 🙂 thank u sadhguruji.
Thank you for this beautiful, practical and true explanation 🙏♥️
I do want to leave. Just not through means of death
The only person (sadhus) who has impressed me is Sadhguru . I salute to his intellect .
Hello
I wish I could talk to Sadhguru
I love you sadhguru ❤😘
Speak Hindi .be proud of your country.
amazing speech Sadhguru 😍😍
I love Sadhguru! Yes, we are all dying from the day were we born. We all have to die oneday. But for most people it is the fear of the unknown, where we are going . Are were going to feel pain, etc etc. Nobody have died and came back to tell us what it's going to be like, on the other side what we will see or feel. Everyone just speculate, by saying it's peaceful, nice, you will be with the creator etc.etc.
My life wish to leave Gracefully 🙏🙏
Yes with every breath we are inching closer to death like a lamp which is running out of oil.
Sadguru ji. One request: please have a video on How To Breathe Correctly.
As a Muslim…..every infant that is granted a life has its destiny…..unknown but d jrny of its life takes a shape of that destiny. Which means it is not known….as mentioned by guru ji….of whether a person gets married, hv kids, be rich or poor…..they r unknown. But whats for sure that will come knocking on us one day is death……we shall all return to our Mighgtiest Creator.
To hv a graceful death is to decorate our path of life jrny being a good human to feloow humans, animals and the environment. Not to score points being praised by others but to get d blessings of the Mightiest Rabb…..bcoz death is a jrny that takes us away tofally frm this world…..eventually will b totally fofgotten of our existence or perhaps remembered by our photos.
To me as a Muslim i always do my humnle obligations to all…..fmly, frnds, nbours, animals, environment as d best i can.
I decorate my pace with d dzikir…..i decorate my heart with thankfulness and good touts unto others, i decorate my hands with any little contribution for d needy…..bcoz peace and love is d most beautiful decoration towards d end of me…….insyallah at d brink of my death i hope i cld at least reminisce d good things that i hd accomplished bfore i shut my eyes frm this beautiful world to mbark into d jrny of no return being welcomed with d warmth of the Mightiest Rabb…….
God bless you
Life is fragile I agree, as Mir Taqi Mir said,
لے سانس بھی آہستہ کے نازک ہے بہت کام
آفاق کی اس کار گاہی شیشہ گری کا
Loosely it is going to be translated like this
One should breath gently , because God was its best when He created life
Brilliant lesson, thank you very very much dear loving Teacher.
Everytime I watch these type of videos especially yours Sir, I get too emotional and I feel like crying literally. I don't know why 😔
Waaaaaah Sadhguru, what a speech! What a monumental speech!
Cling to life by spending months or years in hospitals. Is that a graceful death, or disgraceful? Old people being victims of modern medicine that can prolong their suffering for them these days. He is a Wise man!
My husband tried his best to save his 92 year old mother from dying of gallbladder infection. She suffered for 21 days after he spent a fortune on her hospital bills. My husband underwent depression after that. He too had to undergo a heart bypass surgery 3 months after her demise. He still gets bouts of depression. His sister and he blame me for it. I’m unable to help/deal with this all. I try my best to be happy despite this, I paint, I walk, I sing, I cook, I potter around my plants.
The Sallekhana vratha practiced among Jain community people in India is also a way of embracing death with grace as Sadguru puts it.. Those practicing it will simply desist from eating and drinking when it is time to take the final call..
Sadguru generally explain things from the questions, most of the time he explain in deep by nailing down the facts what the questionnaire don't even know what he/she should ask.
I want to leave the body gracefully guruji
Very true and wise. Like Buddha teaching, life is uncertain but death is certain.
even if we came to this life for an hour and experience the sunrise or any other beautiful experience we should appreciate that hour as a whole life ,what about 50,60 years or even more ,we should always be grateful that we exist in this universe, when we die we will not lose anything because before birth we were nothing and we didn't have anything so when death is near we would've gained the most amazing or awful experience ever and only you can make the decision so make it worthy!!this is just my simple thought have a nice day all!!
Very fortunate to listen you guru ji you are an angle God bless
"PRANAAM SHRI SADGURU".."IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A MAN HAVING HEALTH PROBLEM WHICH BRING LITTLE TO TREMENDOUS PAIN AT THE AGE OF 70 'S AND IF HIS DESIRE WANTS TO DIE THEN HE SHOULD GO FASTING ?? "THANK YOU"
Surely these videos shld have millions of views
Ok wow. Now I have the whole new meaning for life
My farher, with a most sensitive heart and soul ,never fell ill through out his whole life, refused eating anything when his body became weak,refused medical interventions by saying that "its time to go to my Home 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏and left his body with grace
life and death are two side of one coin. buddha said 2500 yrrs back.
You are dying while living and living while dying a aprocess happening on same time.
Namaskaram to Sri Guruji, thank you so much sir for your valuable information, helps and inspiration.
I would transfer u my lifetime to u.. Just because u r just a speaking nature.. Next generation should have ur presence…
Thanks a lot, Sadhguru, I will approach death with grace. I have not decided on it for sure but ill certainly see if I could leave behind all I have gathered here.
His explanation has changed my prospective about death
It’s not death I care about, it’s not living my life to its fullest potential
Woah.. whatta truth! 10:17
Did anyone pay attention to "Inhalation is the first Breath that you take and Exhalation is the last Breath you take". So profound!!
Was reading WHO report on mortality. In poor countries millions of children die because of preventable reasons and cost to prevent is so low, While rich countries treat its 80 year old residents, stretching their pain and misery by a few months costing millions of dollars.
Very wise message
WoW amazing prospective about Death 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 please translate it almost all languages.
Beautiful analogy. The fear of “death” by some humans often prevents living of this life experience. 🙏❤️
spending the last moments with my mom dying…..
They were sweet cherishing n painful too
How my mother left like a child sleeping, brought a sense of relief how gracefully she went. Of course miss her immensely now
how come no sound?
QUESTION , why is DEATH looked to happen more when OLD compared to being YOUNG?
What does it mean if you die young of "natural cause" ??
Very heart toiuching .we have to realisse the truth and to die gracefully
L. A STYLISH DEATH… 😂
Hi I'm Michael look me up one-on-one talk take #7
Nomo Shivay. Har Har Mahadev. Rmdebnath
Please release the book on death
The death experience was well known and people were trained in the esoteric knowledge this .in Hinduism the secret meditation is known of the inhaling breath and exhaling breath and controlling the breath and shortening the breath so the is the Kriya yoga experience of no breath can be achieved
The gita was written over 5000years ago 🇮🇳talks about all these things. Please read and study it😍hare Krishna, peace.
Aw man because he kept saying exhalation and inhalation I'm now breathing manually
YOU ARE THE BLESSING ANGEL, MASTER SADHGURU. I LOVE YOU!!!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME CLOSER TO THE TRUTH.
I'm lucky to live in Sadhguru Era
absolutely..urwrong
Beautiful.
The inhaling/exhaling point was powerful!!!
And we fools celebrating birthdays
The life to which he was referring can be called a universal consciousness, God, whatever. It’s a force that lives within each one of us simultaneously to experience the dynamics of physical form. Sadhguru is dead on. Those who have ears let them listen. Sadhguru has come to our generation deliberately much like previous teachers.
Heavily changed my thoughts… Dont know why my heart says to meet you for a moment Gurujee.. I am a nonbeliever. Living far away from India , Indian by birth.. But dont know why something attracts me to face the reality of nature…
