Equipped with right vision and strengthened by devotional service as well as a pessimistic attitude toward the material ego, one must, through reason, relegate one's body to the illusory world. Thus, one can lose all interest in the material world.

In the end, what is death?

Death is, above all, being separated from God, being distant from Him, and no longer knowing anything about Him. It is falling into forgetfulness of God, no longer knowing anything about Him, to the point of believing that He does not exist. Death is the exchange of one's material body for a new one, the old one becoming unusable for various reasons.

Death is the forgetting that we are in reality a spiritual soul, and not the material body with which we wrongly identify. It is the ignorance of our true spiritual identity.

Death is the complete ignorance of existential truth.

Death, or being plunged into death, is the telling of lies* with the aim of misleading people, and thus plunging them into forgetfulness of God and the truth, into the darkness of ignorance, perdition, suffering, and perpetual confinement in matter.

Death is synonymous with forgetfulness.

Examples of lies*:

1°)   Telling people that God authorizes the consumption of animal flesh. False.

This is the true word of God: “Behold, I have given you every plant bearing seed that is on all the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit bears seed; it shall be your food.” (Genesis 1:29).

2°)   Telling men that there are two categories of animals. False.

The Lord God said to Peter on this subject: “What God has made clean, that do not call common.” (Acts 10:15)

Through these words, God teaches Peter that there are no unclean animals.

3°)   Telling women that they can have abortions. False.

Abortion is murder; it is taking the life of a newly incarnated soul. Yet God has commanded: “You shall not kill.”

What right do we have to prevent a soul that desires to seek God, to know Him, and to find the path that leads to Him from doing so?

All the people who spread these lies are currently in hell and will never come out again.
