“We may also take this material world as a Battlefield of Kuruksetra. Everyone is struggling hard for existence on this battlefield, and at every step there is danger.” (Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead; Introduction)
“The best plan is to prepare oneself to return to the spiritual sky after leaving the body.” (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Adi lila 5.22; purport)
