The Bhagavad Gita (c. 2nd century BCE-2nd century CE)
“Death is fixed
for those
who are born,
and birth is fixed
for those who die;
since such an end
is certain,
you should not grieve.”
- This quote is from discourse/chapter 2, verse 27 of the Bhagavad Gita (a Hindu scripture included in book 6 of the epic poem, the Mahabharata). The translation used here is by Laurie L. Patton (Penguin Classic, 2014).
