Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body. TEXT 25: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. TEXT 24: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. TEXT 23: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. TEXT 22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones. TEXT 21: O Pārtha, how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to kill? He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. TEXT 20: For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. TEXT 19: Neither he who thinks the living entity the slayer nor he who thinks it slain is in knowledge, for the self slays not nor is slain. TEXT 18: The material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is sure to come to an end therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. TEXT 17: That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both. TEXT 16: Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent there is no endurance and of the eternal there is no change.

TEXT 15: O best among men, the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. TEXT 14: O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change. TEXT 13: As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. TEXT 12: Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead. TEXT 11: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. TEXT 10: O descendant of Bharata, at that time Kṛṣṇa, smiling, in the midst of both the armies, spoke the following words to the grief-stricken Arjuna. TEXT 9: Sañjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of enemies, told Kṛṣṇa, “Govinda, I shall not fight,” and fell silent. I will not be able to dispel it even if I win a prosperous, unrivaled kingdom on earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven. TEXT 8: I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. TEXT 7: Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. Yet they are now standing before us on the battlefield. If we killed the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, we should not care to live. TEXT 6: Nor do we know which is better – conquering them or being conquered by them. If they are killed, everything we enjoy will be tainted with blood. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. TEXT 5: It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. TEXT 4: Arjuna said: O killer of enemies, O killer of Madhu, how can I counterattack with arrows in battle men like Bhīṣma and Droṇa, who are worthy of my worship? Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy. TEXT 3: O son of Pṛthā, do not yield to this degrading impotence.

They lead not to higher planets but to infamy. TEXT 2: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life.
