Whenever we try to meditate over the word Moksh, the first thing comes to our mind is the threat to our very existence. It is because we know that one or the other day, we will die, and there is no escape.

The destruction of our existence is imminent.

This is the first thing we need to know before we proceed. And, it is the primary wisdom.

We should always keep in mind that a life begins at a point which we call birth, and it terminates at a point which we call death. These two words, life and death, are nothing but concepts to represent the point of beginning and end of a life.

And, this fear of neutralization of this life is the greatest fear, which is the cause of many evils and goodness both.

Our all efforts are primarily to save this life. All knowledge and philosophies are for this primary objective.

In this way, our life has become the struggle for existence. That is why, we aspire for freedom from this struggle. And, we are far from achieving it.

And we cannot achieve it, in this concept of life and death.

We tend to forget the fundamental truth of this physical world, especially when we think in terms of life and death.

The fundamental truth is that nothing is destructible. At best, it is alterable.

If it is true, then how can our body be destructible?

Thus, we come to a different level of truth, that this body is not destructible. It can only change its forms.

In the womb, we were in different shape, at birth our shapes were different, and through continuous change we are grown up in a different shape and size.

And, it is not final. The change will continue and we will become well stricken in age and finally cease to be, which means our form will change in such a manner that the thing which have been constant throughout these changes will also change and we will become lifeless. And, that is all we can say.

Truth is that not even an element of our body is destructible. How can all the elements of this body be destructible?

Let us take only an element iron which is in our body.

Even this iron is not destructible. It would always be present in its altered form, as it has been always present in a different form in our body, and had always been present before its existence in our body in a different form.

Thus we have always been present in this universe in one form or the other.

Where is the question of destruction?

The journey of the physical existence is thus from infinity to infinity. A particular existence is a temporary truth, and hence we call all particular existences illusion.

This way our existence, a particular body, is a temporary truth, an illusion, a small part of the great journey from infinity to infinity.

We existed, before this life in different form, and will exist after death in different form. There is no doubt about it even we consider life as a part of this physical world only.

It means, we are bound to have different forms in the journey from infinity to infinity.

All the forms must have some point of beginning and some point of end. Therefore, why should we worry about our end?

We are endless. We have no beginning in the great journey, and we have no end either. Therefore, we should not worry much about any particular form of existence and its end, even for this existence as a human being. We are bound to have various forms, and thus various births (beginning of a form) and deaths (end of a form).
