“We believe that death is not the end, and that life and death are complementary. So when you embrace sallekhana you are embracing a whole new life – it’s no more than going from one room to another.” –William Dalrymple (Nine Lives)
“The spiritual awareness one achieves, not the power, position or pleasure- this is the real measure of success. Attainment of spiritual awareness is the end and aim of human life.” — The Upanishads
