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.
All that is real in me is God; all that is real in God is I. The gulf between God and me is thus bridged. Thus by knowing God, we find that the kingdom of heaven is within us.
-Swami Vivekananda
