THE GREATEST HAPPINESS
We should realize that the world is unreal. Without giving up desires no one can purify the mind, and without purification of the mind that conviction cannot grow.

Why is there the fear of death? This is because of samskaras (notions in seed form) left over from previous births. In previous births we experienced death many times and suffered thereby. These notions are in the mind in a latent state and this is why the talk of death rouses fear.
No happiness is equal to that of Samadhi and no sorrow greater than death.

As the bliss of Samadhi cannot be described, so the pain of death cannot be put into words.
Too much sleep is not good. Already there exists the sleep of ignorance, so why court sleep?

Men pass away peaceful and beautifully calm nights in sleep alone when night is especially suitable for meditation on the Self.
