The mind turns naturally from the horror of death to God. The soul, that has the power to revel in the permanent delights of god-realisation, becomes the all engrossing matter of attention. Though confined in its temporary shed, it may free itself from its "fleshy vesture of decay" and by the process of Yoga reach a state of permanent bliss. This is realised by the Indian aspirant of a spiritual life, and all the religious songs of Bengal have this burden.
