awyaktaadiini bhootaani wyaktamadhyaani bhaarata ।
awyaktanidhanaanyewa tatra kaa paridewanaa ॥२- २८॥

Beings are unmanifest in the beginning, manifest in the middle, O scion of Bharat,
Unmanifest in the end. What grief in that?
Source: Milind S. Pandit
All beings, O Arjuna, are unmanifest before birth and after death. They are manifest between the birth and the death only. What is there to grieve about?
All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when they are annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?
