She said that death brings lots of questions and miseries. She quoted Satya Sai Baba ' The death is interval between the two life. Besides that the death is inevitable with the Birth. Gita preach that the soul is immortal and the body is perishable,  The soul is water proof, Can not be cut and it is in all living being. In case of death the soul changes  the body. Therefore death is not final destination. The attachment brings up ego, jealousy, hater ate,  and desire. One has to also set some goal in life.  Besides that one has to develop qualities within in order to achieve goal. In short purity of mind can only take one  to divinity and  liberation. In the process one has to take care of body and soul.  Therefore one has to do Ashan, Pranayam, The chanting of 'OM' Mantra and Meditation. It also helps to control once breathing system.
