what matters in the end ...

A white light where the colors meet.

An ocean where all the drops merge.

A graveyard where the earth mixes everybody. Or the fire in the pyre that burns us all.

At the end of it all, when the earth will be swallowed by darkness, when the sky will vanish, when the rivers will dry, between you and me who would stay ?

"na jayate mriyate va kadacin
nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato ’yam purano
na hanyate hanyamane sarire "

Translation

For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.

Consciousness is eternal it is not vanquished with the destruction of the temporary body

what about when the world destroys ... do souls sustain that destruction ? I know Gita says that soul never gets destroyed and I largely believe in Gita as it is really much more evolved than even my comprehension but sometimes I wonder if the soul is just an abstract concept?
