The human body is perishable. After death, all the elements of this body dissolve into their origin, and the life-force is merged with the all-Pervading IkOankar (the Divine). The life-force is a part of IkOankar and never perishes. The being enchained in the bondages of illusion and attachment weeps and wails. The seeker who recognizes the way of IkOankar realizes that this world is merely a Divine play. Through the Wisdom (Guru), all illusions are removed, and the seeker realizes that no one dies or takes birth in this world. No one comes or goes.
