The Art Form in Dying

It's the attraction and aversion 

that keep you holding to form.

The more you are aware of
the spiritual nature of life,

the more you see the moment

of death as release or taking off
the tight shoe. And the art form

in dying is that, at the moment of death,

you are neither grabbing at life

nor pushing it away. You are neither
pushing nor pulling. So to prepare for
the moment of death, know that

the processes that go on in

consciousness are a dissolving
of boundaries.

Ram Dass
