How to overcome fear of Death?

Epictetus said that

“ it is not the death which is a problem but it is the fear of death which is creating a real havoc”

Acharaya Rajneesh said that

“ observe yourself dying . see death coming to you and going . if you can so observe the death from a distance you have conquered death . death is now your slave. Now you will die a conscious death and not the mindless death like and animal”

Fear of death is not different from other fears of life. The passing out from the body is never that painful as you imagination about it. It is impossible that anything so natural so necessary and so universal as death should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind. In fact much of the fear of death comes from the fact that man always fears the unknown. Your imagination always makes a mountain out of a molehill and distorts the reality .the more accurately you understand death the more free you will be from the fear of death. after death we are just the same as before except that you don’t have a physical body. The death is not only painless but often accompanied by a feeling of relief from the heaviness of the body , a natural transition never to be dreaded.
