Rama Balasubramanian Poet Etheree

Death - a Fallacy

"As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one" - Bhagvad Gita 2.22

~*~
Death 
is a 
misnomer
Autumn leaves fall
only to be born 
again when spring arrives
Body dies but eternal 
soul is reborn in new body
If not reborn, it goes to heaven 
and lives with God as soul without body
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cry not over the death of near and dear
for they never died. God merely took 
away the cloak they were wearing
 and gave them a new body
Look within, try to see
the soul - real you
Then you will get 
salvation
from death
pain
