Death
As the embodied soul continuously
passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth
to old age, the soul similarly passes into
another body at death. A sober person is
not bewildered by such a change.
- BG 2:13 -
According to Vedic opinion, there are two ways of passing from
this world—one in light and one in darkness. When one passes in
light, he does not come back; but when one passes in darkness, he
returns. Although the devotees know these two paths, O Arjuna,
they are never bewildered. Therefore be always fixed in devotion.
