Death is just an event when the embodied soul discards the body

B Gita Ch 2 and Kathopanishad explain death as an event when the embodied soul discards the physical body made of five great elements and moves on to find another suitable body to manifest the desires, thoughts, emotions. Death means packing up the subtle body - mind, memories, intellect, Prana and then finding a new body to play our our desires. The new body is governed by the karma we build - can be any body- human again or an animal, reptile, insect, plant or anything else! Caring for our mind and fine tuning the qualities in them is essential to reduce the number of births & deaths we go through. So, rather than treat death as end of life, treat it as an event to move on with the mind - and begin cultivating the mind to carry forward a great morally ethical mind!
