"For the soul, there is neither birth nor death at any time. It has never come into being, and will never cease to be. It is unborn, eternal, immortal, and ancient. The soul is not destroyed when the body is destroyed."
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2. Verse 20.
This powerful teaching from the Bhagavad Gita invites us to reflect on the true nature of who we are. According to the wisdom of the Gita, we are not the body or the mind, but the eternal Self — untouched by time, unmarked by birth, and unscathed by death. The soul does not come into being, nor does it cease to be. It simply is.
When this truth is deeply realized, it brings with it a joy unlike any other — a joy born from freedom. No longer bound by the fear of death or the weight of impermanence, one stands rooted in the knowledge of their own eternal being. It is this realization that frees us from suffering and opens the door to the bliss that lies beyond the cycle of birth and rebirth.
