Chapter 43 states that 'Death is the state of happiness for the body.' Can you elaborate on this seemingly counterintuitive idea?

This statement from Chapter 43 challenges our conventional view of life and death by framing them as states of the physical body, not the soul. Life is described as a "modification of the body," implying it is a temporary, altered state. In contrast, death is presented as the body's natural characteristic and its ultimate return to a state of rest, hence a "state of happiness" or peace for the physical form itself. This perspective encourages the wise to see the body's end not as a tragedy but as a natural process. As Chapter 43 explains, for a saint who is eternally blissful, the body's end holds no sorrow because their true identity is not tied to its temporary modifications.
