“There is no superior power which can check the cruel hands of death. No one wants to die, however acute the source of bodily sufferings may be.

Old age is the notice of the arrival of death served by cruel time, and no one can refuse to accept either summon calls or the supreme judgment of eternal time.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.13.19 Purport)
