Go back to Nature
The body is a composite of five elements housing the soul, which finds comfort within it. We fear death because the soul is not eager to leave this vessel. While we may intellectually know we are the eternal Self, we are attached to the physical form. Therefore, care for this body, which is your true home. Nourish it with healthy food, pure water, and breath. Connect with nature, for it provides the vital prāṇa that sustains life. Practice conscious breathing to unite with this energy. Preserve your body and the natural world, for both are essential to your well-being.
"If the jīva were happy leaving the body, why would every creature fear death?"
"This body is a beautiful body. It has every facility, comfort, and everything it needs."
