Why Mystics Prepare for Death
Are you ready for death, or have you not finished?
Vishrant begins this Satsang by naming what many have been feeling, that the subject of death has moved closer to the surface of collective awareness, and yet most people are not truly ready to meet it because their lives are still filled with unfinished business, postponed conversations, unresolved emotions and futures imagined but not yet lived.
For the mystic, he explains, the way is radically simple, to be finished with everything in every given moment, so that nothing remains hanging in the air, nothing waits for tomorrow, nothing is unfinished. When life is lived this way, death arrives without struggle, without urgency, without panic, because there is nothing left to complete, nothing left unsaid, nothing left to chase.
This requires living now rather than living in projections of the future, because those who live ahead of themselves always believe they have more time, and so they postpone love, postpone truth, postpone vulnerability, telling themselves they will get to it later. Vishrant invites a direct inquiry, asking what would happen if you knew you had only one hour left, whether every goodbye has been spoken, whether any perceived offense had been let go of, whether anything remains incomplete in your heart.
He reminds seekers that sometimes death arrives gently, and sometimes it arrives without warning, and that if it comes while the body and mind are relaxed and finished with everything, there is a possibility of awakening in that moment. Yet when death arrives while the system is still racing to complete unfinished desires, those unfulfilled movements of consciousness carry forward, drawing awareness back into another cycle of birth, life, suffering, and death.
So, he asks simply, are you ready, and if not, what have you left undone?

Spending your minutes wisely
Vishrant often says that he is willing to die at any moment. Everything feels complete because whatever he has just said is the last thing he needs to say, whatever he has just done is enough, and whatever he is experiencing now requires no addition.
From this place he invites a deeper reflection on time itself, reminding us that each of us has only so many minutes to spend, and that these minutes are like dollars, given in a finite supply, to be either wasted or invested. He asks whether your minutes have been spent on what is precious, or scattered on worry, ambition, and self-centred striving.
He shares openly that by the age of thirty-three he realised he had spent his early life accumulating wealth and material success, only to discover that none of it was truly precious, and that despite outward achievement he felt inwardly bankrupt, because love had not been in his life.
It was only when he recognised that love is what gives meaning to time that everything changed.
Serving love rather than serving oneself transforms how your minutes are spent, because suddenly time flows into helping others, supporting the planet, caring for animals, tending plants, listening deeply, and meeting life with openness. These moments, he says, are the precious ones, while everything else is simply wasted currency.
He asks people to look honestly at their own lives, to notice how many moments have been devoted to worry, accumulation, and selfishness, and how many have been given to heart, to connection, to genuine service.
Preparing for death by living fully
Vishrant speaks of how, even after achieving material success, he felt empty because he had not yet discovered heart, and he reminds everyone that none of us knows how many minutes remain. No one knows how many breaths are left, how many opportunities for love still exist, or how many chances there will be to speak truth.
This uncertainty is not meant to create fear, but clarity.
He asks whether you are ready right now, because life can change in an instant, through illness or accident and whether you have accumulated precious moments through serving love, or whether you are still carrying a weight of unfinished stress and unresolved desires.
The mystic, Vishrant explains, prepares for death as part of living, not morbidly, but consciously, by ensuring that each moment is complete, each interaction is honest, and each day is lived from heart rather than from habit.
These questions are not philosophical, they are practical, because we are all terminal, and how we live determines how we leave.
The way of the heart
Vishrant teaches that the way to live beautifully is the way of the heart, not the way of selfishness or self-obsession, but a life guided by openness, sincerity, and responsibility for one’s own inner state.
He reminds seekers that each person creates their own reality through what they serve, through where they place attention, and through how they care for their precious minutes. Nobody else is responsible for this inner direction.
Every loving act matters. Every moment of kindness counts. Every gesture of openness is an investment in what is real.
He invites everyone to take inventory, to look directly at how their time is being spent, and to ask whether they are ready for death, or whether they are still postponing what matters most because no matter what we do, death will come.
And it is far wiser to meet it having lived from heart, rather than arriving burdened with unfinished business and unexpressed love.
For those who feel called and are willing, this inquiry deepens naturally in Satsang with Vishrant, whose presence begins to take down defences so what is underneath may be experienced and healing can happen. With Vishrant, the direct experience of awareness is much easier to experience in his buddha field, and his ability to unravel the mostly tightly held knots of the psyche opens seekers to themselves so they begin to live life fully, here and now, and in service of love.
This is the true preparation for a conscious death and the possibility of ending samsara, the cycle of birth and death.
