this life is just a halting point. There were
many lives earlier and will be there in future
also. The soul is a traveller. It has been
travelling for many lives together. Sometimes
this, and sometimes that, the chain has been
going on since very very long. The self-
realising wise people do not feel the pain of
death when they leave this world. They know,
their stay in the world is not permanent. They
got this life in order to go through the outcome
of the past life actions and perform noble
deeds in the present one. The wise people
do not go against their souls. They live, not
for the body, but for the soul. The ignorant
lives to enjoy the body. One who acts and
thinks against the voice of the soul, is called
31-F1=1-- r,
the self-killer. The soul of the self-
killer goes through many a dark life. Whenever
we act against our souls, we invariably face
the death. Speaking metaphorically, we die
many a death during a single day.
