Death is the end, death is the beginning.
To the pleasure-lover,  Death is the end.
To the joy-lover,
  Death is the beginning.
To the pleasure-lover,
  Death is the end
    Of his desire-life.
To the joy-lover,
  Death is the beginning
    Of his aspiration-inquiry.
Sri Chinmoy, The Silence of Death, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
