Sanskrit Verse
Avyaktadini bhutani vyakta-madhyani bharata avyakta-nidhanany eva tatra ka paridevana
Translation & Meaning
All created beings are unmanifest before birth, manifest in the middle state, and unmanifest again after death. So what is there to lament? Existence moves from the unmanifest through manifestation back to the unmanifest — what we call death is simply a return to the prior state. There is no cause for sorrow.
Key Teachings
- •Life moves between unmanifest and manifest states
- •Death is a return to the unmanifest, not an end
- •Understanding the cycle of existence dissolves grief
