🏵 * In the Vedic culture we can see how brave people are. Like when they would fight they would not be afraid to die. Even the housewifes would enter the fire with a smiling face. How can one be so brave? Only when one realizes that he is not this body. He is the spirit soul and he never dies. Dead is simply the transmigration from one body to another body. But unfortunately due to the influence of the age of Kali this knowledge is lost and people have become so cowardly, so afraid to die.    * Srila Bhakti Charu Maharaja, SB 3.1.40, Zurich, 27 Dec. 97
