Quote by Bhagavad Gita
Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never;Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams!Birthless and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit for ever;Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems!Who knoweth it exhaustless, self-sustained,Immortal, indestructible,shall suchSay, I have killed a man, or caused to kill?Nay, but as when one layethHis worn-out robes away,And, taking new ones, sayeth,These will I wear to-day!So putteth by the spiritLightly its garb of flesh,And passeth to inheritA residence afresh.
Summary
The quote speaks to the eternal nature of the spirit or soul. It suggests that the spirit has always existed and will never cease to exist. Time is deemed an illusion, and concepts of birth, death, and change are mere illusions or dreams. The spirit is described as birthless, deathless, and unchanging. Therefore, it cannot be affected or destroyed by death. It emphasizes the idea that the spirit is infinite and indestructible, and its existence goes beyond physical life. It compares the discarding of a physical body to changing clothes, as the spirit transitions to a new residence or existence.
