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.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
