QUOTE : You grieve for those beyond grief, <br />and you speak words of insight; <br />but learned men do not grieve<br />for the dead or the living.<br /><br />Never have I not existed<br />nor you, nor these kings;<br />and never in the future <br />shall we cease to exist.<br /><br />Just as the embodied self<br />enters childhood, youth, and old age, <br />so does it enter another body; <br />this does not confound a steadfast man.<br /><br />Contacts with matter make us feel <br />heat and cold, pleasure and pain. <br />Arjuna, you must learn to endure <br />fleeting things-they come and go!<br /><br />When these cannot torment a man, <br />when suffering and joy are equal <br />for him and he has courage, <br />he is fit for immortality.<br /><br />Nothing of nonbeing comes to be, <br />nor does being cease to exist;<br />the boundary between these two <br />is seen by men who see reality.<br /><br />Indestructible is this presence<br />that pervades all this; <br />no one can destroy<br />this unchanging reality. ...
