	1.   The real thing is the art of living. If you know how to live, how to die know automatically you will.   2.   Your life first has to become a dance, worthy to be offered back to existence.   3.   If you know the grace and the beauty and the joy and the splendor of life, you will die joyously, laughingly, because you know death is a fiction, the greatest fiction.   4.   Death is a small affair, a single moment thing. In a split second you will die, but life is eternal.   5.   Death has never happened, you simply move house.   6.   A man of awakening just drops like a dry leaf when the time comes. There is no grudge, no clinging, no desire to go on living in this body, but an absolute trust that life will continue.

	When the body becomes too old and it is no longer a joy to be in the old dilapidated house, you leave it. But you can leave either consciously or unconsciously. If you leave unconsciously you won't know what has happened. You will open your eyes in some womb, not knowing where you came from or why you are here in this womb. You will be born, but you will not know why you are born.  If you cannot die consciously you cannot be born consciously; they are two poles of the same reality. A man who can die consciously, meditatively, moves either into another womb — if his consciousness is not yet total — or he moves into the formless sky; now he is no more in bondage. Except for unconsciousness there is no bondage anywhere.                                                                                                          - Osho
