Gita - Chapter 2, Verse 21-25

 

vedāvināśhinaṁ nityaṁ
ya enam-ajam-avyayam
kathaṁ sa puruṣhaḥ pārtha
kaṁ ghātayati hanti kam 

Meaning of Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 21

Oh Partha, the man who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal and without evolution, how and whom can he kill or cause to be killed?


vāsāṁsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya
navāni gṛhṇāti naro-parāṇi
tathā śharīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāny
anyāni saṁyāti navāni dehī 

Meaning of Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 22

Just as one changes old clothes and puts on new ones, the embodied soul casts off the worn-out bodies and accepts new ones.


nainaṁ chindanti śhastrāṇi
nainaṁ dahati pāvakaḥ
na chainaṁ kledayanty-āpo
na śhoṣhayati mārutaḥ 

Meaning of Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 23

Weapons can't cut it nor can fire burn it. Water can't make it wet it nor can wind dry it.


acchedyo-yam-adāhyo-yam
akledyo-śhoṣhya eva cha
nityaḥ sarva-gataḥ sthāṇur
achalo-yaṁ sanātanaḥ 

Meaning of Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 24

The soul cannot be cut, burned, soaked, dried. It is eternal, omnipresent, immutable and eternal and everlasting.


avyakto-yam acintyo-yam
avikāryo-yam-uchyate
tasmād-evaṁ viditvainaṁ
nānuśhocitum-arhasi 

Meaning of Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 25

The soul is invisible, inconceivable and unchanging. Knowing this, do not grieve for the body.


Comment :

Krishna continues to impart the knowledge of  the soul to Arjuna. He describes that soul can neither be cut, burned, soaked or dried. It is distinct and unaffected from even the Panchabuthas, the five elements of nature - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. If so, how can someone kill or cause to kill it?. As a result it continues in its same state being invisible, unchanging and everlasting.
