Kabir sab sukh Ram hai,
aaur hi dukh ki rashi
Sur, nar, muni, jan, asur, sur,
pare kal ki fansi.

Kabir says Ram is the only happiness, others are all store of pain
The demi-gods, men, hermits, demons, all are in the trap of death.

Kabir says that Fear of Death Means a Partially-lived Life.

How is it possible to relax in this certainty of death?

First, it is possible to relax only when death is a certainty. Relaxing is difficult when things are uncertain. If you know that you are going to die today, all fear of death will disappear. What is the point of wasting time? You have one day to live: live as intensely as possible, live as totally as possible.

Death may not come. Death cannot come to people who live very intensely and very totally. And even if it comes, those people who have lived totally, welcome it because it is a great relief. They are tired of living, they lived so totally and so intensely, so death comes like a friend. Just as after the whole day’s hard work night comes as a great relaxation, as a beautiful sleep, so does death come after life. Death has nothing ugly about it; you cannot find anything cleaner.

If the fear of death comes in, that means there are a few loopholes that are not filled with living. So those fears of death are very indicative and helpful. They show you that your dance has to go a little faster, that you have to burn the torch of your life from both ends together.

Dance so fast that the dancer disappears and only the dance remains.

Then it is not possible for any fear of death to visit you.
