The truly wise mourn neither for the living nor the dead:
There never was a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor any of these people.
Nor is there a future in which we shall cease to be . . .
Worn out garments are shed by the body,
Worn out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body.
New bodies are donned by the dweller, like garments . . .
Death is certain for the born. Rebirth is certain for the dead. You should not grieve for what is unavoidable.
The Bhagavad Gita 400 BC
The Mallows - who will mourn our dear friend until we are with him.
