Life and death

'It matters little to these countless beings which are continually being born only to be destroyed, whether the noble and kind-hearted grieve or delight over their fate. The widespread illusion called samsara [world or worldliness] is an arena for incessant births and incessant deaths. Neither exhilaration nor bemoaning is called for from any quarter.'
Yoga Vasishtha, 14.34-35, trans. by Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
