What is death?

Devotee: What is death? Is it not the falling away of the body?

Ramana Maharishi: Do you not desire it in sleep? What goes wrong then?

Devotee: But I know I shall wake up.

Ramana Maharishi: Yes - thought again. There is the preceding thought ‘I shall wake up’. Thoughts rule the life. Freedom from thoughts is one’s true nature - Bliss.
