"Death itself has no existence. What actually happens is the transformation of consciousness from one form into another form, or, finally and ultimately, into formlessness.

Osho continues:
"The whole question is whether one can die consciously, or..."
"It takes the whole body away, not a part; it takes the consciousness to another form.
"Only if you are almost enlightened – just on the border of enlightenment – can you remain conscious, because the whole process of enlightenment is creating distance between you and your body, you and your mind. If the distance is enough, then you can remain aware and anything can happen to the body – you can watch it, as if it is happening to somebody else. Then it is really an amazing, exciting phenomenon, but not before that.
"To say it in other words: To die beautifully one has to live beautifully.
"To die amazingly and in excitement, in ecstasy, one has to prepare one's whole life for ecstasy, excitement, amazement.
"Death is simply the culmination point, the crescendo of your life. It is not against life. It does not destroy life.
"That's why I said death does not exist as conceived. It really gives the body another chance to grow. And if you have grown fully then there is no need for another chance; then your being moves into the ultimate being. You are no more a separate small dewdrop, but the whole ocean of existence.
"P.D. Ouspensky, in his book Tertium Organum – one of the most significant books – has many statements that are beautiful, but this statement is the most significant of them all. In ordinary mathematics – and he was a mathematician – the part is part and the whole is whole; the part cannot become the whole, neither can the whole become the part.
"But in the mathematics of consciousness the situation is totally different – here the part can become the whole, the whole can become the part, in fact they both are the same. Rather than using the word part, we should say, 'You have a miniature being, a small image of the whole, and the body disappears: the small image becomes one with the greater image.' Death is a great excitement but only for those who are working towards it, to make it so. The key is that you have to remain conscious.
"I have heard that three friends – a surgeon, a politician, and a jurist, a magistrate – were just chitchatting on a morning walk."
