We know that the self-realized soul doesn’t see death as ‘the final insult,’ but as a gentle transition to a better situation. In the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the Lord tells Arjuna that that, “One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.” (BGAII 2.27)
