Question

why do the wise not grieve for the dead?​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE ONE WHO KNOWS THE NATURE OF THE SELF, IS WISE.

THE SELF IS NON-DESTRUCTIBLE, ETERNAL, INEXHAUSTIBLE, CHANGELESS, IS NEITHER BORN NOR DIES. THE SELF IS NEITHER SLAYER NOR SLAIN. IT IS THE BODY WHICH IS PERISHABLE AND IS DOOMED FOR DEATH. THE SELF CONDITIONED BY THE MIND AND INTELLECT IS THE INDIVIDUAL EGO, THE 'JIVA', WHICH TAKES TO EMBODIMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TENDENCIES FOR FURTHER EVOLUTION. THE JOURNEY OF 'JIVA' CONTINUES FROM ONE BODY TO ANOTHER TILL IT ACHIEVES PERFECTION.

THE WISE MAINTAINS EQUANIMITY IN PAIN AND PLEASURE, LOSS AND GAIN AND IN DEFEAT AND VICTORY.
