Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 Verse 8
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 15 श्लोक 8

शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्क्रामतीश्वरः।
गृहीत्वैतानि संयाति वायुर्गन्धानिवाशयात्।।15.8।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 15.8)
।।15.8।।जैसे वायु गन्धके स्थानसे गन्धको ग्रहण करके ले जाती है? ऐसे ही शरीरादिका स्वामी बना हुआ जीवात्मा भी जिस शरीरको छोड़ता है? वहाँसे मनसहित इन्द्रियोंको ग्रहण करके फिर जिस शरीरको प्राप्त होता है? उसमें चला जाता है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Now the science of transmigration of the atma or immortal soul from jiva  to
jiva or embodied being is explained. When the postive and negative karma  or
reactions to  actions  that  one  has  performed  has  been  calculated  and
tabulated along with the types of food one has eaten throughout  their  life
a jiva obtains birth in an appropriate womb and acquires a new  body  taking
along with it in a subtle body the mind and the  senses  from  the  previous
body. This can be understood by the analogy Lord Krishna gives of  a  breeze
transporting to another location the fragrances of the flowers it  has  come
into contact with. So the subtle body of the jiva containing  the  mind  and
the senses transports itself from body to body.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


When a jiva or embodied being due to the mercy  of  the  Vaisnava  spiritual
master, attains the auspiciousness of bhakti or  exclusive  loving  devotion
unto the Supreme Lord Krishna at that  time  the  Supreme  Lord  Himself  as
paramatma the Supreme Soul inconceivably resides simultaneously  within  the
etheric heart of every jiva  or  embodied  being  commences  to  direct  the
actions of that blessed disciple of His  servitor,  the  Vaisnava  spiritual
master, who guides and instructs through his  words  and  actions.  Although
the Supreme Lord is continuously entering and departing each and every  womb
along with every jiva and atma, he does not desire any recompense for  this.
In the Moksa Dharma known also as the Mahabharata it is stated: Even  though
the jiva witnesses the temporal emotions,  merits  and  demerits  and  knows
what is ultimately beneficial it is powerless to oppose  them.  Even  though
moving hither and thither to the four corners of the planet,  enjoying  here
and suffering there, all actions  are  actually  energised  by  the  Supreme
Lord. Even when conquering and winning if one considers themselves  a  great
personality, factually they are only performing as ordained by  the  Supreme
Lord. Even as a vehicle controlled by someone moves  a  passenger  from  one
location to another. In the same manner  the  jiva  transmigrates  from  one
body to another controlled by the potency of the Supreme Lord.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Whatever body a jiva or  embodied  being  is  subjected  to  reside  in  and
whatever body they depart from; the atma or immortal soul  is  automatically
accompanied by the five senses and the  mind.  Lord  Krishna  explains  this
process as similar to  a  breeze  which  picks  up  the  scents  of  flowers
carrying them through through the air from one location to another.
