Why waste opportunity Death is implied in life, inbuilt it unfolds. Look into the fact of death and you will see whole existence dying, and that will give you deep insight - not only about death but about life, because it is life that brings death. Death is a universal fact - nobody is an exception to it all are included in it. So, rather than wasting time, look deeply into it, and in the death of your father you will see your own death coming, and the death of your children, and the death of your grandchildren. Now, whether you cry or not makes no difference, so what is the point? Death has happened you cannot undo it. if you look at death directly in the eye without letting emotions interfere, then death becomes meditation. So rather than crying and feeling sorry - because those are tricks of the mind to avoid death. A father cannot be replaced, a mother cannot be replaced. You will never be the same again - a gap will be there. When a father or mother dies, something in you also dies with them. He has been the vehicle to bring you to life and he occupies some inner space. A father is not just outside his being overlaps your being. Look at it in the eye Whenever somebody like a father or a mother dies, something in you also dies. It is just as when you wake up in the morning and the whole night and the dream world is simply no more meaningful - it loses all meaning.

You can be 55 or 95, but whenever death comes, the whole is annihilated. In the final accounting, how long you dream does not matter. Somebody’s dream is a little shorter and somebody’s dream is a little longer, but a dream is a dream! The length of the dream does not matter in the final analysis. So, don’t cry and don’t feel sorry for your father, because whether one dies at 55 or 95, it makes no difference.

Only meditation cannot be destroyed by death. Death is a reminder not to take life seriously it is momentary. If death can be destroyed, then all religion will disappear from earth. We are helpless against death, and that helplessness has been the very source of all religion.

Death makes no distinction between old and young. Face your loss, and the encounter will give you a deep understanding of life, says Osho.
