Dear Acca /Periamma, Death involves certain developments that weaken and extinguish life. It does not affect the Atma; the Atma has no death. It cannot be destroyed. Therefore, one should not fear death. Death is but another stage of life. However long one suffers from illness or however severe the injury, death can happen only when Time signals the right moment. When the yearning for living ends, there can be no more birth. –Baba- Our Deepest sympathies to all the family. We missed your ever loving smile and kindness. May your soul rest in PEACE.
