I believe that we will become hypocrites if we accept aging and death. We become bitter and hateful even when we try to hide it with a personal facade of serenity and confidence. As Ra said, cancer is a result of suppressed anger. And many nonduality teachers died of cancer! And what did they do? It seems that they "accepted" physical aging and death. A disastrous subconscious, or even conscious inner conflict.
And until we deal with solving aging and death, the elephant in the living room, we will remain trapped in the veil and suffer. To believe that inner peace can exist while there for example is physical pain, is a lie it seems to me. And numbing out pain is the other side of the same coin of aging and death. Inner peace is different from numbness, and aging and physical death prevent inner peace. The only way out of this trap is through the veil is my guess.
