"Death is a perfect insult."— Avatar Adi Da

At some point in every person's life, they must come to terms with a universal principle — all living things inevitably will die. Even in the moment of our conception, we are already cloaked in the mantle of bodily death, and we know it. Avatar Adi Da Samraj observes that we do not suffer merely because we cannot escape death. We suffer because we have an inherent impulse to love - and in the midst of our love, we know that whoever or whatever we love will nevertheless vanish. He writes, "Death is a perfect insult."

Many people try to be numb to this suffering. In the rush of details that fill our life, we may find temporary distraction. In the beliefs that we hold, we look for consolation. But turning away from the reality of Love Itself, even through distraction or belief, is turning away from the only possibility of going beyond our mortal predicament.

Somehow, we must receive the "insult" and still grow in love.

There are times when the loss of a loved one brings us face to face with this starkness. Then our strategies of distraction and consolation no longer work. We feel again the raw fact that has always been our situation. Even the many small endings in our life (and the beginnings as well) remind us that no thing and no one will last, no matter how much we love them.

Whatever we believe about death (and what happens after death), its inescapable nature is not in debate. But knowing that death is a universal requirement does not end our predicament — it only pushes to the fore our need to understand what life is all about, what its purpose is.

Angelo Druda hosts our free Webinar on Death and Dying. He is a senior educator and minister in Mate Moce, the death and dying ministry established by Adi Da Samraj to serve those in the dying process and provide wisdom and education addressing the fear and suffering that surrounds the death process. He has conducted seminars based on Adi Da Samraj’s book Easy Death for thousands of people in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Angelo is the author of The Tao of Rejuvenation and numerous articles on health, rejuvenation, and how to serve the dying.

Adi Da's instruction on death and dying — much of it contained in the book Easy Death, was acclaimed as a “masterpiece” by pioneers in the field like Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who wrote the seminal book On Death & Dying.

"An exciting, stimulating, and thought-provoking book that adds immensely to the ever-
increasing literature on the phenomena of life and death.

"...it is a confirmation that a life filled with love instead of fear can lead to ultimately meaningful life and death.

"Thank you for this masterpiece."

– Elisabeth Kubler Ross, M.D., author, On Death and Dying
