Die While You're Alive — The Way to Lasting Inner Peace

Many spiritual traditions encourage the practice of contemplating death as a path to finding lasting inner peace. But how does meditating on our mortality fit in with the non-dual tradition and what would be the value of doing this contemplation?

Rupert says it is a very powerful spiritual practice. What's going to happen at death as far as we know? Everything we know, love, cherish, experience and everything we do, is going to be taken away from us. Well, that's meditation. Why not do it before we die?

That's what the Sufis call, ‘dying before you die’. Letting go of everything that is not essential to us. And only that which is essential to us remains. That is the value of contemplating death. If we need the prospect of death to divest ourself of everything, then contemplate death. But another way to do exactly the same practice would be to take the thought ‘I am’ and allow oneself to be drawn into its reverent.
