We all are bonded with a string of God. When a person takes birth, his death is already decided. There has been a famous tale in accordance with death of King Parikshit. King Parikshit knows he was going to die within 7 days. He was in fear of death. He was afraid. So, he went to Kapila rishi-and told his concern.
Then, rishi Kapila narrated him a story. Once upon a time, there was a thief. He was very ill. He resided in a hut. So, he has arranged to do poop on one side and there was a piece of meat at other side. And there was foul smell coming out from that hut.
One king was abandoned and forgot his way. It was very dark in forest. He came across that hut, but due to that foul smell, he was in diaspora. But at end he decided to go inside that hut and ask for a shelter.
The thief said I would not allow you to stay, because anyone come here wants to stay here forever. The king was very astonished, that why anyone wants to live here, as this is such an awful place. The king promise he would leave the place early in the morning.
So, the thief allows king to stay. But as the night gets darker, the king starts loving the place. In the morning the king refuses to go away. Then thief and king had an argument also. Then king Parikshit ask Rishi Kapila who was that idiot king who wants to stay in that awful place?
Then rishi Kapila said the king was you Parikshit. King Parikshit got the gist. This body is full of awful smell and soul is pure and this earth is full of dirty products.
So, king Parikshit was out of his fear. And he understood the meaning of death.
