According to Vedanta, life and death are but the obverse and reverse of the same coin. If we understand their real nature, we can be at peace and in joy, whatever be the situation facing us. A guide for this understanding.
Mind you, this is life's experience: if you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
-Swami Vivekananda
