Which Is Better For The Dead BURIAL or CREMATION | How To dispose If Death Due To Virus? | Sadhguru

Muslims bury dead. Minerals return to soil enriching it and no air pollution or global warming.I think hinduism does not say don't bury. Hindu has choice to bury dead.

[@GoutamDAS-ls1wb]

Sadhguru, very wise words of wisdom on a sensitive topic. Accepting the loss of a loved one is never easy and is a process that takes time. I agree 100% with your reasoning. I hope everyone else will see the wisdom in your words and agree as well. The departed most certainly do not have any religion. We must however find a way to neutralize the pollutants created by the cremation process.

[@truthontop1]

scientific reason for burrying the deads, in my opinion is : when we burry them, the body decomposes and fertile the land, the bacterias eat the body are good for land fertilizers. the bones that destroyed in the soil, after a period of time turns into minerals and gases and we get oil, that we use as the source of power, with out oil we are nothing. oil comes from the decomposition of bones under pressure. the burning requires wood , which we waste for burning a body that could have been burried easily. Forensic study is only possible is a body is burried and can be exhumes or taken out of grave after years to find out the cause of death, if require, where as after burning one could not find the cause of death. they know hisotry that reached to us was due to the fossils of animals, humans and mummies that are scattered all over the world. othewise we would have been balnked about the prehistoric existence. last one the burrying is natural way, that all the deads go thorough including animals. whether animals burry their deads or not, but their bodies decompose and mix with the soil......Burning of dead is an environmental pollution as well.. waste of resources and destruction of jungles for wood.

It’s best to stay at the wishes of that person to get ready for death coz the live consciousness tells him that he is settled for next life or he endured enough to have this life to be complete. I guess to have this communications to be best to have with their dear ones or loved textual dairy of his own. I feel burying drags the nutrients out of the body and cremation dissolves immediately into five elements or so like to see the soul gets out of body traces of it if any during cremations . Burying takes long.

*What is better, cremation or burial?* Lets leave Cremation or Burial aside for a while. I ask you, will you allow your loved ones to become food for scavengers like dogs, hyenas, vultures etc? Most will feel horrid and disapprove. Next I will say what if we leave the human dead body away from our eyes in a jungle enclosure to become food for some scavenger. I still expect a lot of disapproval, that whether in front or away from our eyes, getting our loved one torn and devoured by scavengers is awful. Right? But have we ever realised what happens to dead bodies under the soil, away from our sight? They become food for beetles and maggots, apart from releasing a lot of toxins and gases in the soil. Are we willfully preferring beetles and maggots over vultures and hynas and dogs?Actually we are "inadvertently" making our loved ones into food for micro-organisms and insects, without ever realising this.many ancient cultures, both systems (burial and cremation) are prescribed, but cremation is considered a superior method. Why? Read on. The ancient easterners had long analysed that body is empirically composed of the 5 elements - viz - earth (minerals), water (80% by weight of us is water), air (gaseous components), fire (body is continously generating energy which is symbolised by fire) and Ether (a media that transcends and pervades the entire universe). So they thought, to 'properly' end the body, we must process it in "the fastest possible way" to "disintegrate" and "escape" into its basic emperical entities. Any other method, which is slow, subjects the dead body of the loved one to abuse (like being eaten and consumed by maggots). Also, the theory behind choosing cremation cannot be understood in isolation. We have to understand the eastern theory of Transmigration of the soul. The soul changes bodies like we change clothes, unless it achieves Moksha or Nirvana. This cycles of transmigration into variois births is called sadgati in Sanskrit, which, at its extreme maturity, culminates into Nirvana or Moksha both of which mean liberation from a cycle of births. The eastern time is cyclic (it repeats), in contrast to Abrahamic timescale which is linear, wherein you (the soul) comes from somewhere ( I don't know from where), spends a lifetime on earth, dies, rests somewhere (I don't know where it rests), and then its given an afterlife of perperual indulgence or perpetual damnation or suffering, based on what God judges on a judement day. (Nothing repeats). The Japanese Zen theory says, we (the souls) are waves upon the surface of the ocean, such that, while always being part of the ocean, we (the souls) get a "transient" existence and identity, till we merge back into the ocean. Here, ocean is that supreme God or supreme power or supreme consciousness, and the wave is a soul or your conciousness, the act of merging with the ocean is Nirvana or Moksha. So, our real identity is our consciousness (actually called Turiya, which merely means 4th state), and a corporality or body is of no real importance. Its like a cloth which the real us (our self or soul or conciousness) wears for a lifetime, then discards to find a new lifeform (a new covering or cloth) Now since the body left behind has no value once the soul leaves it, the first thing is to remove any and all attachments with the dead body, which was never the real self. This is followed by rituals which symbolise the "detachment" of the family members with the departed soul, allowing it to move forward to its onward journey (sadgati) , towards a new life in a new body (or Moksha or Nirvana as the case may be, depending on the acts and deeds in past lives). Detachment is an important concept in Eastern thoughts. A soul gets faster and easily detached with the body which had housed it for one full life term. A cremated body looses all form and tangibility very fast. And hence it becomes easier for the departed soul as well as family members to get "detached" with the lifeless body. Many will find it horrific to see their loved ones burn during Cremation. Its like torturing a loved one. But such feelings arise out of attachment to the corporality and a false sense that the Body is of any permanence or the body itself is the true identity and true self. The body is lifeless and has no sense of pain when we burn it. Many religions and cults preach that a burried body will resurrect itself with bones and flesh intact on some judement day. All such notions lack depth of understanding. Whether we cremated or bury, the body simply disintegrates and decomposes. In Cremation, there is fast disintegration into its constituents - viz - earth, water, air, fire and ether, and the body of the beloved departed is not defiled by insects or animals. In burial the body is consumed by various bacterias, maggots and beatles, under the cover of the soil, and it finally, after a long torturous decomposition, is left mere bones. Such bones are often dug and used for occult practices, believed to recall and control the deceased, to gain superhuman powers. Any lifeform which dies, the act of decomposition starts immediately. The cells in the variety of tissues of various organs stop getting any oxygen. Blood circulation stops and diffusion of gases at cell level is curtailed. The cell's cytoplasm retains the carbondioxide, and becomes toxic. The lyzosomes inside the cell, break their membrane in a toxic cytoplasm, and thus release their extremely strong digestive enzymes. These enzymes from the burst opened lysosome digest the cell itself, and then continue to digest other cells. The resultant toxic fluid of this rampant internal digestion turns the body blue (unless it is kept in ice). Micro-organisms within our body, also start eating the body inside out. All these actions result in toxic effluents (which are enzymes) and building up of gases. The body swells due to this gas and gives a very repulsive odor. This odor attracts external micro-organisms, maggots, flesh eating beetles, small and large animals to eat the body. Burying a body saves it from not being eaten by large animals but small animals and insects find their way to the body in a grave too. As the body decomposes, a lot of toxic effluents (digestive enzymes) start oozing from the eyes, nose, ears, private parts or any holes made by maggots. These are very strong enzymes. They mix with the soil and severely decrease its fertility. Plants near a self-decomposing body start decaying itself. Even after many days of the end of self-decomposition process, plants do not grow in the vicinity of a dead corpse. Gradually the soil regains its fertility in few weeks and the plants can regrow. So this is what happens in a burial. In addition to the above, a burial uses valuable earth for decades and centuries, which otherwise could have been used for cultivation or other uses. Apart from this burial involves masonary and construction, which has very high carbon footprint. Burial also promotes attachment to the body, which, if we think deeply is, impermanent and perishable. Detachment is important. We need to move on and accept death as a reality. Some may say, I don't mind a maggots eating my loved ones. It makes their body useful for something. For that, I woukd6 suggest, apart from severe toxins effused inside a grave during burial, we are just giving preference to maggots and beetles. The Zoroastrians, just like Hindus, understand that the body is not the real Self. So they also have a good way to give back to the nature "without discrimination". They take their dead and hang them on a tree in a jungle, where any and every scavenger, "without discrimination" feasts on the dead body. Vultures, kites, hawk, mest eating birds, hyenas, jackals, foxes, rodents, maggots, all eat without discrimination. Isn't it better?

I don't agree. We only talk about our traditions, our cultures, our religious values. You won't see Sadhguru agreeing upon any other religious values or traditions. Although he usually presents himself to be very logical. But he can't get out of his own traditions and cultures in which he was born and brought up. I think burying dead person is the best natural way of returning a person to this motherly earth.

If you consider religiously, soul remains in the body until body is completely dead, even if it causes suffering. In fact the main point of cremation is to help soul depart and end any lingering desire for body or to make sure person is completely dead or so that stray soul do not come for it.

[@pinrayi7909]

In Christian world people are burying people in the caskets thats has foam, padding, polyester. They won't dissolve in to the elements, but they will rot and for a very long time. It's not a right practice to bury the dead in this manner.

You would exit the gross physical body as a subtle ego body (if you still had karma or cause and effect) way before the body was cremated or buried. What sadhgury is saying is cremation makes the transmigration of subtle body to a mother's womb faster instead of waiting at the cosmic bus stop,

[@indianmilitary]

@@emmylouemanuel7744 "find myself" is it your ego self (thoughts/body) or the true, conscious, immanent self or the soul or divine which is also immortal, immutable, transcendent and omnipresent. Point is the true and conscious self or the soul cannot be wetted by water, burnt by fire, dried by air or cut by a knife. The subtle body with 5 senses will exist the body for transmigration once the gross physical body falls to the ground. it doesn't wait for the body to be buried or cremated. What sadhguru is saying is transmigration of the subtle body into a mother's womb will be faster if the body is cremated. If you are a child below 7 yr (due to lack of ego) or person above 84 (due to low energy), it is okay to be buried.

This man does not know exactly about the human being compounds. 1-The dead matter (atoms). 2-the saoul when added to the matter gives a living body. 3- You the user of the living body. All the three are mixed in anteracting way. Death begins by the leaving without returning of you. (If you return it means that you where only sleeping). If it is decided that you are not permitted to comeback than the order is given to the saoul to leave the matter at that time begins tho posses you're talking about. The dead matter seams heavy under the fact of gravity ,mother earth is calling, why? Depending on what substances they have been mixed with during life time good or bad substances,dead human matter will be washed and purified during a long time travel beneath the entrails of the earth. The day of resurrection they will be ready to receive the saoul and You to continue living in heaven. But if not purified You will live in hell depending on the time it will take to be purified.it could be eternity. By the way,the same feeling happens when we burry the body every thing becomes calm.
