Its ture that dispassion arises from death but I believe that it is not the only thing that causes a person to draw within.
All the pain and suffering which makes ones life a living hell changes that person to that extent that he would be indifferent even towards his body.<o:p></o:p>
one has to live life whether one understand it or not. understanding life doesn’t erase mental and physical suffering. one who wants to get away from the pain of this world take up the path of discrimination and dispassion.<o:p></o:p>
One living with thought of being nothing and being selfless....is a path laid for the him, by his experiences. So I don’t think dispassion/viragya is a choice but it’s a state of mind that one gets into with certain experiences.

It’s not death that worries me but life.<o:p></o:p>

you said"With ‘understanding’ be most passionate about life. (the new)<u1:p></u1:p>…….” ???<o:p></o:p>
Lets say a person close to one like life partner…. is brutally murdered in mass shootings for example…should he think that these things happen and be passionate about life?<o:p></o:p>
There is nothing passionate about life. All I can see is pain and suffering!!
