dc.description.abstract	Death belongs to the body but eternity belongs to the Self. The Self does not experience birth, growth and death. It is pure and unblemished. It cannot be sullied. As Lord Krishna declared in the Gita, “the Self cannot be pierced with weapons or burned with fire; water cannot wet it, nor can the wind dry it. The Self cannot be pierced or burned, made wet or dry. It is everlasting and infinite, standing on the motionless foundation of eternity. The Self is unmanifested, beyond all thought, beyond all change. Knowing this, you should not grieve”. Death is normally feared by people who are attached to the world and its objects. Desire breeds attachment and the threat of losing it causes fear. Spirituality teaches us to view these changes with equanimity.
