scientist all over were studying the mystery of death, thru NDE, near death experiences.. but that was actually not a true death experience because the etheric silver cord was still connected to the physical body. it was a vey limited experience.. from the below verses we can see nanak ji speaking of the knot actually it is the silver etheric cord that is connected to the body..in true death this knot is untied.. in the other verse below we can see how maya, had cast it s net and prevented the souls from escaping from maya to earn mukti.. nanak ji is also giving the understanding of the true meaning of death in sikhism.. please discuss if you have any other oppinions.. thanks
