The one thing certain in this material universe is death.
Death overcomes everyone and everything.
It gives no warning and can strike down anyone at anytime. Vedic scriptures liken life to a drop of rainwater on a lotus leaf. And existentialist Jean Paul Satre maintained that death made life meaningless. Yet, in search of happiness, man toils and struggles all his life accumulating wealth and material assets in order to fulfil his desires and gratify his senses,under the illusion that with these he can find happiness. And yet, paradoxically, man is mortally afraid to leave this world.
