Lol  That outlook changes though. That’s a conditioned choice/decision

They have enjoyed everything. They have enjoyed the purity of individuality; now they have to enjoy the disappearing of individuality. To go beyond enlightenment is to go beyond individuality and to become universal.

Enlightened being isn’t interested in measure. It embraces all aspects and manifestations of itself.

Mahasamādhi

Completion of the final incarnation of a realized being.

Mahasamādhi (the great and final samādhi) is the act of consciously and intentionally leaving one's body. A realized yogi (male) or yogini (female) who has attained the state of nirvikalpa samadhi, will, at an appropriate time, consciously exit from their body. This is known as mahasamadhi. This is not the same as the physical death that occurs for an unenlightened person.

Enlightened yogis take their mahasamadhi during their final practice of samadhi: and they expire during this final sadhana practice. Therefore, mahasamadhi occurs only once in a lifetime, when the yogi finally casts off their mortal frame and their karma is extinguished upon death.

An enlightened or realized yogi is one who has attained the nondual state of nirvikalpa samadhi where duality of subject and object are resolved and the yogi becomes permanently established in the unity of full enlightenment (Videha mukti).

Each realized yogi enters and prepares for mahasamadhi in a unique fashion. Sushila Blackman (1997) furnishes a number of examples.

Hello @abrakamowse

 This struck me when you shared that...

If that is the case then one still seems to be confined by the limited center. When one has a capacity to enter the realm of the boundless, timeless, and the immense on a daily basis then there is no need for the extinguishing the mortal frame. 

When I read that on Mahasamādhi, the first thing I thought was how did this yogi approach enlightenment. Did they use time as means to the timeless. That kind of outcome of ‘extinguishing the mortal frame’ to permanently establish  absolute unity with the immeasurable source seems like a movment of time was cultivated to capture the infinite nature of perception without the perceiver. 

Practices, techniques, systems, and all the traditional processes all imply the cultivation of time ‘thought’ and ‘finite’ to attain that which is timeless. ‘Infinite’

The immeasurable can never be approached with Mind. 

Although this is just how I see things from my own experiencing and non experiencing. 

Interesting though

@abrakamowse @Prabhaker But why? Why not enjoy life more? You know, live life to the fullest until its the end of time? Not choosing when it is.

The only possible reason is they are too old or sick to enjoy it.

I haven't really heard any other convincing reasons.

I suppose if you're really psyched about becoming an angel or something higher on the food chain, it would make sense.

Ramana Maharshi was facing an arm amputation due to cancer, so he said "forget it, see ya!"

I don't think most people who reach sahaja do this.

I mean, my mind is extremely open, thats why im asking this because im interested this.

Its funny because just a week ago, I was believing everything my mentor said it, because i thought it was the truth and i saw some truth in it but i didnt fully dive deep, now my mind is open but Im just curious, I want to live as old as possible.

It’s a conditioned choice/decision. 

If they had not been influenced by certain traditions they would have never had such an impulse. All choices are conditioned by thought. 

And as I stated up above such a decision is the result of a time based progression to capture the timeless state. They are still wanting, seeking, reaching for that goody at the end of the tunnel. 

Time only leads to more time. Thought only leads to more thought. Volition becomes the cage ‘imprisonment’

But if happiness is free from circumstances and if that is so, you can feel happy and peace in every situation, why not endure the physical pain and keep enjoying life?
