Verse 2·25

The Self is imperishable, immutable eternal

Verse

अव्यक्तोऽयमचिन्त्योऽयम् अविकार्योऽयमुच्यते ।तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमर्हसि ॥

avyakto’yamacintyo’yam avikāryo’yamucyatetasmādevaṃ viditvainaṃ nānuśocitumarhasi

It is unmanifest, it is unthinkable, it is immutable, so it is described (by the Shrutis); therefore knowing it as such, thou shouldst not grieve.

Gītā 2·25

There is no such thing as death, for it is the body that dies and the body is not the man… and what is there in this to grieve at and recoil and shrink?… who can slay the immortal spirit?
