"The invisible spirit (atma) is eternal, and the visible body is transitory. The reality of the relationship between the two is certainly known to the sages, who have investigated themselves for a long time, and finally arrived at the truth about their own essence."

"He who thinks that the spirit is a murderer behaves like he who thinks that the spirit can be murdered, and both live in ignorance, for the spirit neither kills nor can be killed. The spirit is never born or at any time dies. It neither comes into existence nor ceases to exist. It is uncreated, eternal, permanent and primordial. When the body perishes or is destroyed, the spiritendures."

"And even if you believe that the soul is born and dies along with the body, that would still be no reason for such sadness.

Do not lament too much over what is inevitable."
