we should never be sad

Bhagavad Gita (Chapter II, 16-26)

'Man is not born, nor does he die. Having come into existence, he will never cease to be, because he is eternal and permanent. Just as man discards old clothes and puts on new clothes, so the soul discards the old body and puts on a new one. But the soul is indestructible; swords cannot pierce it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, the wind cannot dry it. It is beyond the power of all these things. Since man is always indestructible, he is always victorious (even in his defeat), and that is why he should never be sad'


cheers.
