When death comes, it does not ask your permission; it comes and takes you; it destroys you on the spot.

In the same way, can you totally drop hate, envy, pride of possession, attachment to beliefs, to opinions, to ideas, to a particular way of thinking, and to your highest principles. 

Can you drop all that in an instant?

There is no “how to drop it”, because that is only another form of continuity.

To drop opinion, belief, anger, attachment, greed, ignorance, or envy is to die — to die every day, every moment.

If there is the coming to an end of all ambition from moment to moment, then you will know the extraordinary state of being nothing, of coming to the abyss of an everlasting movement, as it were, and dropping over the edge — which is death.  

Know all about death, because death may be reality — That most extraordinary something that lives and moves and yet has no beginning and no end.
