"Death is going home, yet people are afraid of what will come so they do not want to die. If we do, there is no mystery, we will not be afraid. There is also a question of conscience- "I could have done better." Very oftern as we live, so we die. Death is nothing but a continuation of life, the completion of life. The surrendering of the human body. But the heart and the soul live for ever. They do not die. Every religion has got eternity - another life; this life is not the end; people who believe it is, fear death. If it was properly explained that death was nothing but going home to God, then there would be no fear."
