SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
“ It is never born, nor “It” ever dies “It” has never "been” nor will “It” ever cease to be “It” is unborn eternal, everlasting, ancient and is not killed when the body is killed. - 20
वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् । कथं स पुरुष: पार्थ कं धातयति हन्ति कम् ॥ २१ ॥
"Oh Partha, one who Knows this Soul to be imparishable, eternal and free from the shackles of birth and decay, how such a one thinks that it is he who kills or cause to be killed ?" - 21 वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय
नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा -
न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥ २२ ॥ "As a person casts off his worn out garments and obtains new ones, so does even the embodied soul casting off old bodies entering a new ones." - 22
