What is Death?
As per scriptures,
Death is separation of the soul from the physical body. The entrance of a soul into a body is called birth. The soul's departure from the body is called death. A body is dead if the soul is absent.
What is Soul?
A person is performing an action, say he's going to steal something. Right from when the thought of robbery took birth in his mind, his conscious silently kept telling him at the back of his mind DONT DO IT, IT's WRONG.
DONT DO IT, IT's WRONG.
This voice which comes from within every individual is from the Conscious which always tells the truth and guides you to take the right path. This conscious is the SOUL...!
Usually, the tendency of the common man is to neglect the conscious and keep doing things what his mind tells him to. Its WRONG... By this way, you are killing your own conscious. Killing your conscious mean killing your Soul. This state is as good as Death.
Realize your self through realizing your Soul

ADVICE TO BUSINESSMEN
There is a business ethics and a businessman should practice this ethics. Only then he will not be affected by sin. Only then he will prosper.
People say that one will have to tell lies in business if he wants to prosper. This is a serious mistake. Those who are strictly honest and truthful will flourish in business. More customers will go to them only, as they are truthful in their dealings.
Falsehood first entered a cloth-merchant’s shop. If you enter a cloth- merchant’s shop, he says first, the one yard costs Rs. 8/-, then bargaining or haggling goes on for one or two hours. At last he comes to Rs 1.50 per yard. This sort of business goes on in most of the business-houses. Cheating and falsehood are the basic traits of a businessman. His conscience has been blunted by covetousness and dishonesty. He is miserable in this world despite his wealth and possessions and will be unhappy in the next world also, because he is not leading a moral life. He does not know what he is exactly doing, as his understanding is clouded.
Immorality does not mean sexual depravity and illegal adultery only. He who tells lies and cheats others is also leading an immoral life. He is also an immoral man in the broad sense of the term.
A manufacturer pits a spurious preparation in the market. One man mixes small stones in the wheat. One businessman adulterates ghee, flour and other foodstuffs. The carpenter uses inferior quality of wood and charges as for the best wood. A contractor uses third-class bricks and charges for first- class bricks, etc. These are all instances of cheating.
What is this glittering prosperity in the business, after all? To eat a little delicious food, to move in a car, to become a Municipal Councilor cannot give you everlasting happiness. This is not the goal of life. This is a foolish man’s idea of happiness. Quite puerile indeed! These are all toys of ignorant children. Wise people will laugh at these things.
Earn your bread by honest means. Dishonesty and cheating will bring on you incurable diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, ulcer in the stomach, fistula, deafness, dumbness, blindness, burning in the heart and feet, and deformity of limbs in your next birth. Action and reaction are equal and opposite. You will have to suffer in your next birth for every wrong deed you commit in this birth. Be careful in your thought, speech and action. Be good and do good. Understand the law of cause and effect.
Spend one-tenth of your income in charity. Charity covers multitude of sins. Do regular charity. Merely giving a few rupees in charity occasionally when you are in distress, is not praiseworthy.
Take a moderate and reasonable profit. Be truthful and honest in your dealings. Do not smother and kill your conscience. Keep your conscience ever clean and pure. Do abundant charity. You can prosper in your business. You will not be tainted and corrupted by business. Goddess Lakshmi will ever dwell with you.
