## Verses

### Bhagavad Gita 2.27

> जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च ।
> तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥

Meaning (Hindi): जिसका जन्म हुआ है उसकी मृत्यु निश्चित है, और जिसकी मृत्यु हुई है उसका जन्म भी निश्चित है। इसलिए अपरिहार्य बात पर शोक करना उचित नहीं।

Meaning (English): Death is certain for one who is born, and birth follows death. Do not grieve over what cannot be avoided.
