Death doesn't exist

It took millennia to evolve from animal to man; today man, thanks to his mind, can accelerate things and will a transformation towards a man who will be God. This transformation with the help of the mind, through self-analysis, is a first stage; afterwards, vital impulses must be transformed - which is far more difficult; then, most of all, the physical: each cell of our body will have to become conscious. It is the work I am doing here. It will allow the conquest of death. It's another story; that will be future mankind, perhaps in centuries, perhaps sooner. It will depend on men, on peoples. Auroville is the first step towards this goal.

Mother's talks on death and her views on how to deal with death are helpful and often plain and simple. Others are mind blowing: how she advises us and how she deals with this subject, we often decide not to discuss.

"But people are so ignorant! They make such a fuss over death, as if it were the end - this word 'death' is so absurd! I see it as simply passing from one house into another or from one room to another; you take one simple step, you cross the threshold, and there you are on the other side - and then you come back."

Death is a continuous challenge to human beings. It hovers as a threat over man's head, as at any time the fateful moment can arrive. The quest for immortality has therefore always been a major spur to man's creative aspiration, be it in arts, literature, politics or warfare. To gain immortal fame as an artist, a writer, a statesman or a conqueror, to engrave one's memory in the annals of fate, has always been and still is a tremendous motivation for mankind.
