Chapter 37 clarifies that holding even the slightest view of difference or duality causes one to fall into the sufferings of birth and death. The text explicitly states that where there is an obsession with duality, fear inevitably enters. Death itself is presented as the greatest fear within this dualistic worldly existence. Therefore, to conquer this fear, one must serve the non-distinguished state, where no trace of fear can exist. The Guru is instrumental in this process, as He grants the non-dual intellect, which is the direct path to achieving fearlessness and liberation from the constant cycle of destruction and creation that haunts a dualistic mind.
Sai's teachings mention that a view of difference leads to suffering. Can you elaborate on how this connects to the fear of death?
