Manusmriti: The Laws of Manu

61. Let him reflect on the transmigrations of men, caused by their sinful deeds, on their falling into hell, and on the torments in the world of Yama.

62. On the separation from their dear ones, on their union with hated men, on their being over powered by age and being tormented with diseases.

63. On the departure of the individual soul from this body and its new birth in (another) womb, and on its wanderings through ten thousand millions of existences,

64. On the fiction of pain on embodied (spirits), which is caused by demerit, and the gain of eternal bliss, which is caused by the attainment of their highest aim, (gained through) spiritual merit.

65. By deep meditation let him recognize the sub tile nature of the supreme Soul, and its presence in all organisms, both the highest and the lowest.
