Fear will give you
fearlessness.
Out of anger will come
compassion.
Out of the
understanding of hate, love will be born to you.
But this happens not in
a conflict, this happens in a passing-through with alert awareness.
Accept, and pass
through it.
And if you make it a
point to pass through every experience, then there will be death, the most
intense experience.
Life is nothing before
it because life cannot be so intense as death.
Life is spread out over
a long time -- seventy years, one hundred years.
Death is intense
because it is not spread out -- it is in a single moment.
Life has to pass one
hundred years or seventy years, it cannot be so intense.
Death comes in a single
moment; it comes whole, not fragmentary.
It will be so intense
you cannot know anything more intense.
But if you are afraid,
if before death comes you have escaped, if you have become unconscious because
of the fear, you have missed one of the golden opportunities, the golden
gate.
