Having been born, It never ceases to be, again. Unborn, eternal and everlasting, this ancient One is not slain when the body is slain. 🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 21: वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् | कथं स पुरुष: पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् || 21|| vedāvināśhinaṁ nityaṁ ya enam ajam avyayam kathaṁ sa puruṣhaḥ pārtha kaṁ ghātayati hanti kam 🪔How can a man, O Arjuna! who knows It as the imperishable, the eternal, the unborn, the undyecaying, cause anyone to be slain? Whom can he slay? 🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 22: वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि | तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही || 22|| vāsānsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛihṇāti naro ’parāṇi tathā śharīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇānya nyāni sanyāti navāni dehī 🪔Just as a man puts on fresh clothes after discarding worn-out ones, so does the embodied Self, discarding worn-out bodies, proceed to take up new ones.
