Bhagavad Geeta 2.28

Sanskrit

अव्यक्तादीनि भूतानि व्यक्तमध्यानि भारत। अव्यक्तनिधनान्येव तत्र का परिदेवना।।2.28।।

avyaktādīni bhūtāni vyakta-madhyāni bhārata avyakta-nidhanānyeva tatra kā paridevanā

Meaning

Accept what you cannot control. Focus energy on present actions rather than grieving inevitable changes in circumstances, people, or outcomes.

Translation

O descendant of Bharata, all beings remain unmanifested in the beginning; they become manifested in the middle. After death, they certainly become unmanifested. What lamentation can there be for them?
