Aperson who is dead internally, is a moving corpse. Dead is after all dead. There cannot be any change or promotion.
It rots and makes the environment smelly. A person who is devoid of right faith, devotion, adoration, good conduct, restraint and affection is like a dead man.
How can he be called alive who doesn’t have patience, joy, enthusiasm, self respect, compassion, peace, theism and restraint.
Such a person is alive only to eat and breathe. He is only carrying the burden of his life. Oh! that person is really said to be alive who becomes immortal by his good deeds even after death. But you are afraid of death and die before actual death overtakes you. Ascetics live with restraint for good death or Samadhi. On the other hand you are dying without incontinence every moment to live life comfortably.
