Krishnaji shared most profound human Wisdom all over the world, travelling from place to place for sixty years.

“We are trying to find out what it means to die while living — not committing suicide; I am not talking about that kind of nonsense. I want to find out for myself what it means to die; which means, can I be totally free from everything that man has created, including myself?

What does it mean to die? To give up everything. Death cuts you off with a very sharp razor from your attachments, from your gods, from your superstitions, from your desire for comfort, next life and so on and on. I am going to find out what death means because it is as important as living.  Put that question to yourself. While we are young, or when you are very old, this question is always there. It means to be totally free, to be totally unattached to everything that man has put together, or what you have put together — totally free.  No attachments, no gods, no future, no past. See the beauty of it, the greatness of it, the extraordinary strength of it —- while living to be dying. You understand what that means? While you are living, every moment you are dying, so that throughout life you are not attached to anything. That is what death means.                    

So living is dying. You understand? Living means that every day you are abandoning everything that you are attached to. Can you do this? A very simple fact, but it has tremendous implications. So that each day is a new day. Each day you are dying and incarnating. There is tremendous vitality, energy there because there is nothing you are afraid of. There is nothing that can hurt. Being hurt doesn’t exist.

All the things that man has put together have to be totally abandoned. That’s what it means to die. So can you do it? Will you try it? Will you experiment with it? Not for just a day - every day. Your brains are not trained for this. Your brains have been conditioned so heavily, by your education, by your tradition, by your books, by your professors. It requires finding out what love is. Love and death go together. Death says, be free, non-attached, you can carry nothing with you. And love says,—- there is no word for it.  Love can exist only when there is freedom, not from your wife, from a new girl, or a new husband, but the feeling, the enormous strength, the vitality, the energy of complete freedom.”

Krishnaji’s body died on February 17, 1986, cancer-cells in his pancreas performed the death process.
