It's a simple fact that there is ending for every human being. If one can realize this fact
not because somebody said but for you yourself, then you are not escaping from death.
Instead you will save all your energy that you spent in escaping it. Death always teaches you about detachment but we go for attachment. This attachment being nationality, religion, family....etc.
You may ask what is wrong if I get attached to my family or my nation.
The answer is try to experiment by getting detached to somebody whom you hold very dear may be for a few minutes. Detachment is not isolating yourself but ending that "selfish" part in relationship. If you can do this very seriously you can observe that with detachment comes a sense of pure love.
Now you love that person for no reason and also the whole world. That love knows no boundaries, no division of me and not me, and no pain which comes when you expect something from somebody. Memorizing or keep on thinking about somebody is not love, that thinking might be giving pleasure to me.
Once you turn your face into the face of death and look into its eyes and look at it like a child. It is your friend not your enemy, enemy is yourself with all your desires, fears, seeking endless pleasures, comparison, competition...etc.
