Bhagavad Gita 2.20
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः। अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥
na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchin nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ ajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato ’yaṁ purāṇo na hanyate hanyamāne śharīre
Translation
He is not born, nor doth he die; nor having been, ceaseth he any more to be; unborn, perpetual, eternal and ancient, he is not slain when the body is slaughtered.
What it means
Unborn, undying, perpetual, ancient: the Self is not slain when the body is slain. The verse stacks negations to peel away every category we wrongly apply to our deepest identity.
Try this today
A celebrated statement of the Self's indestructibility: unborn, undying, unchanging.
Something to reflect on
What would today look like if I acted from what does not die rather than from what does?
