Quotes from the Book
Time punishes those who stray from the path of dharma. Console yourself with the belief that this is the will of God.
Everyone who was born had to die; those who died would be reborn again. The killer and the slain: these were terms that had no meaning. The soul could never be destroyed. The soul discards a worn-out body for a new one as human beings discard old clothes for new, said Krishna, and there was nothing in this to grieve about.
