BG: 2.20
na jayate mriyate va kadacin
nayam bhutva bhutva va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato ‘yam purano
na hanyate hanyamane saire
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.
BG: 2.22
vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
navani grhnati naro ‘parani
taha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old
and useless ones.
BG: 2.23
nainam chindanti sastrani
nainam dahati pavakah
na cainam kledayanty apo
na sosayati marutah
The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, not burned by fire, not moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.
