    Ten of Swords

    Maraṇa (मरण)

    Death, Ending

    Ten of Swords. Complete defeat of who you thought you were—all the lies, pretenses, false identity. Ten swords in the back, dawn approaching. The ego's mental structures utterly destroyed. It looks like ending but is actually liberation. Only with death of the false 'I' does real life begin. Look: the sun rises.
