If God takes no pleasure in the death of the man then why does God wants us to die?

[Reply to a question from internet] I could not understand the actual point of this question placed in the internet. Who said that God takes pleasure or not in the death? I did not say so. In such case, the question cannot stand. However, I shall answer this question because you have sent it and also the meaning is clear though not the logic. But, My answer will not be the shooting of the bird in the bush and it can be only shooting around the bush. In the view of God, as per the Gita, death is inevitable sequence of birth. If one can enjoy the suffering in death also, he/she attains monism with God in that single theoretical concept since death is supposed to be the highest tragic scene (Sthitvaasyaamantakaalepi... Gita). I do not know, while shooting around the bush, a bullet might have entered the bush and the bird was also shot dead. If, still, the bird remains in the bush, you have to send a revised edition of the question in elaborate and logical way.
