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.
Brave, bold men and women, these are what we want. What we want is vigor in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas. Avoid all these. Avoid all mystery. There is no mystery in religion.
-Swami Vivekananda
