The materialistic standpoint - 26-28
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 28
Avyakta adini bhootani vyakta madhyani bharata I
Avyakta nidhanany eva tatra ka paridevana II sloka 28
अव्यक्त आदिनि भूतानि व्यक्त मध्यानि भारत ।
अव्यक्त निधनानि एव तत्र का परिदेवना ।।
O Arjuna beings have an unknown beginning, a known middle and an unknown end. What is there to grieve over in all this?
Human beings etc (ie bodies) exist as entities; their previous stages are unknown, their middle stages in the form of man etc are known and their final and future stages are unknown.
As they thus exist in their own natural stages, there is no cause for grief.
