That inner soul exists in your body, wedded to wrath and desire as it is like death; and knowing that death is generated in this way, the person who puts his faith in knowledge is not afraid of death. Death itself is destroyed when it comes under the influence of knowledge, even as earthly beings are destroyed when they come under the influence of death.
स क्रोधलोभौ मोहवानन्तरात्मा स वै मृत्युस्त्वच्छरीरे य एषः। एवं मृत्यु जायमानं विदित्वा ज्ञाने तिष्ठन् न बिभेतीह मृत्योः। र्मृत्योर्यथा विषयं प्राप्य मर्त्यः॥
