📝 Description: Merging with the Infinite: Quotations and Kriyas on Death and Dying

Life poses many questions. Dying is one of them: What do we do at the moment of death? For the most part, we deny death. We never really look into the nature of death as a cycle of life. We never examine our reactions; therefore, we never give ourselves the chance to practice how to die; as Warrior Saints, gracefully and courageously. Our denial produces either fantasy or fear in the subconscious, which blocks prosperity and creates dis-ease in our lives and our relationships. We must learn how to confront the moment of death and determine our Self within it so that we can 'cross over'. "If a person doesn't know how to die and doesn't know where the grace is or how to confront that last moment, what is the purpose of life?" -Yogi Bhajan "Merging with the Infinite" shares quotes and meditations about the many aspects of death and dying, based on the teaching of Yogi Bhajan.

This text serves as a compelling roadmap for spiritual liberation regarding death, yet it demands a specific mindset to appreciate fully. It is not suited for readers who prefer secular, medical approaches to grief or those resistant to esoteric yogic practices. The 'Warrior Saint' framework may feel too intense for sensitive souls seeking gentle comfort without rigorous spiritual discipline. However, for those ready to unmask taboos and engage with subconscious fears through structured kriyas, it offers a unique and transformative perspective on mortality that challenges conventional views of the end of life.

The book emphasizes that the moment of death is not merely a biological cessation but a profound spiritual transition. It offers 'kriyas' (spiritual practices) and meditative guidance designed to prepare the individual to meet this moment with awareness, grace, and courage.

The book suggests that the quality of one's life is inextricably linked to one's perception and preparation for the final journey, fostering 'Warrior Saint' qualities.
