Death is Inevitable:
Gurbani teaches us that the death is inevitable. It is law of the nature.
Whosoever is born must die. Rich and poor, young and old all have die one day.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji on the subject of death has written following quotes in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji:

ਜੋ ਆਇਆ ਸੋ ਚਲਸੀ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ਆਈ ਵਾਰੀਐ ॥(474-2)
jo aa-i-aa so chalsee sabh ko-ee aa-ee vaaree-ai.
Whoever has come, shall depart; all shall have their turn.
