Bombay, India | 5th Public Talk, 7th February 1981
So can we while living, energetic, alive, aware of all the beauty and the ugliness of existence invite death? Not jump out of the thirtieth floor, not commit suicide, we don't mean that, invite death, which is to end. Death, when there is death there is no argument, you can't argue with death. So can you end, for example, attachment? Because when death comes it is out. When the speaker says, invite death, which is to end, end that which is already known. End your attachment to your guru, to all the things that you put on your body in order to be kind of spiritual, end your greed, your envy, your ambition. That's what death is going to do anyhow. So can you invite death? Which means to end that which you have experienced, that which you have gathered, psychologically, so that you become totally inwardly anonymous, so that you are inwardly absolutely nothing? That is what death is going to make of you.
