Inevitable truth of life

"A person who has a body goes through various stages. He starts as a child. Grows into an adult. Gradually he ages and finally dies.

But it does not end there. He takes on a new body. He takes rebirth in a different place. This is the natural process.

That being the case, a wise person should not get confused with this inevitable truth of life.

Each one of us always existed. And we will continue to exist albeit as a different individual. It is the body that perishes and not us. ‘We’ are eternal."
