ສິດທະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອພຣະພຣະຫມັນ (ຫຼັກຊີວິດ) ລະທິ້ງຜູ້ມີກາຍຢ່າງສິ້ນເຊີງ ຜູ້ຄົນຈຶ່ງເອີ້ນວ່າ ‘ຕາຍ’. ເພາະເມື່ອຈີວະ (jīva) ອອກຈາກຮ່າງ ຮ່າງນັ້ນປາກົດວ່າບໍ່ມີລົມຫາຍໃຈ; ຄວາມຮ້ອນ, ການຫາຍໃຈ, ຄວາມສະຫວ່າງໄສ ແລະ ສະຕິຮູ້ ບໍ່ເຫຼືອອີກ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຮ່າງກາຍທີ່ຖືກອາດຕະມາລະທິ້ງ ຈຶ່ງຖືກເອີ້ນວ່າ ‘ຕາຍ’ ຕາມຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈຂອງຊາວໂລກ».
सिद्ध उवाच
Death is defined not merely as physical stillness but as the departure of the indwelling self/life-principle: when consciousness, warmth, breath, and radiance cease because the jīva is gone, the body is called ‘dead.’
A Siddha instructs by explaining how people recognize death: the body, once the jīva departs, becomes breathless and devoid of heat and awareness, and is therefore designated as a corpse.
