Life is death and death is life is actually the case, we are dying every millionth of a second when we are born, although we are not paying attention to it, we are nearing our grave every second. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un is the bitter fact, but we still acquire immense wealth and education and every thing will go dust in the end
As Ancient to modern Rushis used to tell and as we experience creation(even from dust to Himalayas)ever never know about it unless we are ready to know it by following sadgurus wholeheartedly.
