Objective
Examine abhinivesha (clinging to the body) and be prepared to lead students in an exploration of this topic.
Description
Describe abhinivesha and how it’s different from the instinct for self-preservation. Explain why knowledge and intellect are unable to overcome abhinivesha and what is more likely to help one to overcome the fear of death.
