Sadhguru
How can I use the death of someone dear to me to wake up instead of drowning in grief?
Awareness, not grief, is the way
When someone dear dies, grief is not the way; awareness is. Grief will make you sleep, so this is the time to wake up to the nature of your own existence.
Grief is not the way. Awareness is the way. Grief can put you to sleep, but this is the time to wake up.
