Dear colleagues

We can define death as the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all body vital functions.

For life after death, her belief changes from one man to another and from one religion to another. Ex. see this link:

According to plant science, when a plant die (death), the continuing life will be in its seeds.

This is about transformation.

Philosophies of Change

The cyclical process of birth, growth, breakdown, and disintegration has been a perennial theme in philosophy dating back to the ancient Greeks, and perhaps further. Heraclitus, who is remembered for his maxims "there is nothing permanent except change" and "you can never step into the same river twice," compared the world order to an ever-living fire, "kindling in measures and going out in measures." His compatriot Empedocles attributed the changes in the universe to the ebb and flow of two complementary forces which he called "love" and "hate." Correspondingly, the ancient Chinese philosophers viewed reality as the dynamic interplay of two opposites — the yin and the yang. Their keen understanding of change is reflected in the term they use for "crisis" — wei-ji — which is composed of the characters for "danger" and "opportunity."

All beautiful forms of this world are in the process of transformation. Nothing is stable. With every moment, our reality is changing. Mother Ganges, like nature, is constant, but no manifestation of hers remains. Likewise, all that we hold dear in this world is imperceptibly vanishing. We cannot cling to anything. But if we can appreciate the beauty of the underlying current of truth, we can enjoy a reality deeper than the fickle waves of joy and sorrow.

Dear All

Death is simply stopping a biological process. The truth of life after death is the responsibility of each of us according to his beliefs

The death is eternal parting with those who lived with them throughout your life

Death is the permanent end of the life of a biological organism.

 “To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Definition of 'legally' dead:

The definition of 'death' from medical personnel can be different from that of scientists. There are specific criteria used to pronounce a person legally dead by physicians. These criteria can be variable and often depend on certain circumstances in order to declare a person legally dead. A patient may be legally dead because of lack of brain function but still have a heartbeat when on a mechanical ventilator. So, it is probably more complicated.

My Dears:

Dear colleagues,

@ Puriya Gharavi-Kouchebagh  Thank you for this question.

@  Arpana Mishra Many views of religion and people say that death and life after death are true.

Regards

Fateh

Death is a stop the mental and creative activities of the organism. and transition to another life which we do not see it.

Very interesting question by Puriya Gharavi-Kouchebagh.

The answer depends on culture/belife of the people mentioned by many RG followers. True.

As per Hindu relegion/Bhagavad Gita

jatasya hi dhruvo mrtyur

dhruvam janma mrtasya ca

tasmad apariharye 'rthe

na tvam socitum arhasi

SYNONYMS

jātasya—one who has taken his birth; hi—certainly; dhruvaḥ—a fact; mṛtyuḥ—death; dhruvam—it is also a fact; janma—birth; mṛtasya—of the dead; ca—also; tasmāt—therefore; aparihārye—for that which is unavoidable; arthe—in the matter of; na—do not; tvam—you; śocitum—to lament; arhasi—deserve.

TRANSLATION

For one who has taken his birth, death is certain; and for one who is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.

PURPORT

One has to take birth according to one's activities of life. And, after finishing one term of activities, one has to die to take birth for the next. In this way the cycle of birth and death is revolving, one after the other without liberation. This cycle of birth and death does not, however, support unnecessary murder, slaughter and war. But at the same time, violence and war are inevitable factors in human society for keeping law and order.

The Battle of Kurukṣetra, being the will of the Supreme, was an inevitable event, and to fight for the right cause is the duty of a kṣatriya. Why should he be afraid of or aggrieved at the death of his relatives since he was discharging his proper duty? He did not deserve to break the law, thereby becoming subjected to the reactions of sinful acts, of which he was so afraid. By avoiding the discharge of his proper duty, he would not be able to stop the death of his relatives, and he would be degraded due to his selection of the wrong path of action.

Dear Puriya,

@Puriya Gharavi-Kouchebagh

RG is a scientific network so that whoever follow should understand the answers. Kindly post the answers in English, yesterday it was in Hindi all Indians can follow that others feel difficult, today also one answer in Arabic, those who knows that have not any problem but others feel a bit inconvenience.

Though we have Google translate word to word translation is alright but sentence wise it looks abrupt.

@ Subhash

Puriya writes thank you in arabic.

Death is reality --- present life ends; new starts! 

Absolutely, @ Subhash

I apologize you politely dear Ramadevi.

I did not have a specific purpose.

No need to apologize Gharavi. I wrote casually.

Thanks for initiating amazing discussion. I wonder what made you to pose these questions!!

It was accidentally Jetty.

( ;

Dear all,

In Paradise (For people who believe in the Creator, God), there is no death and life is eternal.

Regards

Precisely.

Death means parting the people, money and the family. After the departure of the soul from the body and survival lifeless body that does not motionless nor the will nor the power of the mind and not think.

Dear Roland,

This is the excellent thesis about harms of death to who dies.

Special thanks.

It was very useful.

Also i want to know every person idea about death and life after death.

Maybe dear Qasim

Only truth of life!

Thank you respectfully dear Roland.

Dear all,          

"You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you."

Exactly.

Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.

--- George Eliot

Dear all,

"Death is nothing at all. 

I have only slipped away to the next room. 

I am I and you are you. 

Whatever we were to each other, 

That, we still are. 

Call me by my old familiar name. 

Speak to me in the easy way 

which you always used. 

Put no difference into your tone. 

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. 

Laugh as we always laughed 

at the little jokes we enjoyed together. 

Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. 

Let my name be ever the household word 

that it always was. 

Let it be spoken without effect. 

Without the trace of a shadow on it. 

Life means all that it ever meant. 

It is the same that it ever was. 

There is absolute unbroken continuity. 

Why should I be out of mind 

because I am out of sight? 

I am but waiting for you. 

For an interval. 

Somewhere. Very near. 

Just around the corner. 

All is well. 

Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ."

                                                                          by Henry Scott Holland

Everyone focuses on the earthly state, but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth, and I can't wait to experience that.

@Fateh

Very beautiful poem which softens the death

What is sure in life: --- Death! The only reality of life!

Exactly dear Subhash.

@ Roland,

@ Fadel,

@ Fateh,

@ Subhash,

Thank you very much for your best answers.

Morn after morn dispels the dark,

Bearing our lives away;

Absorbed in cares we fail to mark

How swift our years decay;

Some maddening draught hath drugged our souls,

In love with vital breath,

Which still the same sad chart unrolls,

Birth, eld, disease, and death.

--- BHARTRHARI, "Against the Desire of Worldly Things"

Death is the end of a biological trip planning another trip to the convenience and each of us belief

'When LIFE knocks at the door no one can wait.

When DEATH makes arrest no one can escape'.

Life and Death are ultimate realities.

Precisely.

Death is part of our human beings attributes.  To scientists, brain death is the real death.  To some people, death is the separation between spirit, soul and body.  Death is also the separation between a deceased and his or her love ones.  Death is a sad occasion that the love ones of the deceased mourning for his or her departure.  No one can control that s/he will never face death even though many people or kings had attempted in different ways.  Some people experienced near death experience but managed to return to this physical world after resuscitation.

Life after death to some people - believe there is reincarnation (the rebirth of a soul in a new body).  Some people also believe there is a judgment before the 2nd permanent death of the spirit.  Yet other people don't want to think / talk about life after death because to them it is useless endeavor since they never fully understand this life and why  bother to understand the life after death.

Yes, Dear Roland,

Eternal silence!!!

@ Roland and Subhash

If indeed after death is silence. Would you agree with me that death is a judgment of biological process necessarily those related to the hearing. So how do you imagine the silence

Dear Roland

I totally agree with you about what you just wrote. We all agree on that death is a stop of a biological process but theologically and philosophically each of us can reach these benchmarks.

Dear all,

Yes, death is silence in a gateway (in limited time) to  go to eternity.

Best regards

Fateh

Silence ...

@ Han Ping Fung

Thanks.

@ Markovic

Totally agree with you to those who believe in the elevation of the soul to its Creator

The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.

--- Socrates

@ Subhash

Beautiful socrates quote. A visionary of monotheistic belief

Since you are interested in this topic, I suggest you to learn about the theory of Eckankar religion. 

I hope you enjoy it as I did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckankar 

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

~Mark Twain

@ Subhash

This quote is quite remarkable. It reminds me of a religious connotations dictated by the Prophet Muhammad as the Hi Be Upon Him

Dear all,

Yes, it is quite remarkable.

Regards

Death is a breach of both worlds: the biological and the other metaphysics. To each of us chose his passer out of respect for his beliefs

Good! Dear Fadel Djamel.

@Marković G. Đoko great to post JKM's quotes. JKM is one of the eminent world known philosopher. His teachings are excellent.

Thanks for posting wonderful link for his quotes.

"State of a timeless dimension in which the movement we know as time, is not. It means the emptying of the content of one's consciousness so that there is no time; time comes to an end, which is death. " JKM

Dear all,

@ Marković 

Ok, From your interesting link, death is a departure into eternity.

Best regards.

Death is the night that is afraid of the sun

Dear all,

Good day,

Yes, but death is a truth, so is not afraid of one thing you cannot avoid it and get ready.

Best regards

Yes, death is hard truth!

My answer is simply a metaphor and not a definition. Without solar energy no life: Death is the night that is afraid of the sun

Yes, indirect answer! Dear Fadel Djamel.

@ Markovic

Yes life after life but different

Actually, this is renewal of life!

Thank you respectfully dear RG friends.
