One who is in Krishna consciousness, he knows he does not change. I am serving Krishna now, and I am serving Krishna now, and I am continuing to serve Krishna from one moment to the next. He has transcended the material world. He serves Krishna in the continual presents. He has transcended time. So therefore, what is this death? Death means an end. But there is no beginning or end where there is no time. Just as there is no beginning, there is no end. So one who actually comes to Krishna consciousness, he realizes, what is this death? There is no such state as death. There is no death for the soul. That is only for the body. For the soul there is no death. This is dhira.
