There is something in the soul which cannot die, which cannot be affected by death.

He who defeats others is strong, he who defeats himself is powerful, and he who knows when he dies that he will not be destroyed is eternal.

—Lao-Tzu

People are born and live only as manifestations, or pieces of God; therefore they cannot be completely destroyed. They can disappear from before our eyes, but they cannot be destroyed. One person was within my sight for a long time, another went out of my sight very quickly; but I cannot say that the first person existed more and

the second less.

It doesn’t matter whether a man passes by my window quickly or slowly. I know definitely that this man existed in the time before I saw him and that he will exist in the time after he has disappeared from my sight.

He who knows that the foundation of this life is spirit is out of danger. When he closes the gates of his senses at the end of his life, he has no troubles.

—Lao-Tzu

Real life exists outside time and space, therefore, death can change the manifestation of life in this world, but it cannot destroy life itself.

Try to live with the part of your soul which understands eternity, which is not afraid of death. And that part of your soul is love.
