Words of Comfort: The Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, a revered text from the Hindu religion, was produced during the first millenium B.C.E. Originally written in Sanskrit, there are over 300 translations in English alone. I particularly like this translation of verse 2:28 from Juan Mascaró:
"Invisible before birth are all beings and after death invisible again. They are seen between two unseens. Why in this truth find sorrow?"
