    Bhagavad Gita 2.28
    avyaktādīni bhūtāni
    vyakta-madhyāni bhārata
    avyakta-nidhanāny eva
    tatra kā paridevanā
    All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?
    Bhagavad Gita 2.29
    āścarya-vat paśyati kaścid enam
    āścarya-vad vadati tathaiva cānyaḥ
    āścarya-vac cainam anyaḥ śṛṇoti
    śrutvāpy enaṁ veda na caiva kaścit
    Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all.
