Rabindranath Tagore wrote: “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”
This is such a beautiful and comforting expression of the idea that when we leave this earth we merge back into the blissful Source we were born from. How differently would we live if we knew we will enter a new form of life and consciousness on the other side of this life?
The Bhagavad Gita tells us that there is no death, that the soul merely lets go of the body in the same way we give up worn out garments. Here is a source of wisdom that begs inquiry.
