When we start to meditate on impermanence, we start to realize how vitally important it is to prepare for death. In preparation for death, we need to look within, learning to open our heart and mind, we need to practice love and compassion. We also need to avoid clinging to those things that are preventing us from awakening, such as ignorance and any disturbing emotions. Looking outside of ourselves is not conducive to awakening. It’s important to take care of ourselves by discovering our true potentiality within.
Death is just another passage into another impermanent condition, that is unless we awaken. In order to awaken, we need to discover reality, we need to remove all obstacles that are preventing us from truly understanding and becoming Ultimate Reality. If you look at mind, genuinely spending time getting to know who you really are, in time you will awaken. This needs to be a serious effort, and we must never give up, or there is simply no way to remove yourself from cyclic existence.
