भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 22

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय
नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि।

।।2.22।।मनुष्य जैसे पुराने कपड़ोंको छोड़कर दूसरे नये कपड़े धारण कर लेता है ऐसे ही देही पुराने शरीरोंको छोड़कर दूसरे नये शरीरोंमें चला जाता है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

It may be submitted that although the eternal soul is  not  slain;  yet  and
still reflecting on the total destruction of the  physical  body  one  might
still grieve. To answer this  it  is  being  put  forth  that  just  as  new
physical bodies which  are  dependent  on  karma  or  reactions  from  ones
actions in a present life will surely continue; so  there  is  no  need  for
grief at the destruction of  old,  worm  out  bodies.  This  is  the  proper
understanding.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

In this verse  the  Supreme  Lord  clarifies  the  distinction  between  the
physical body and the eternal soul by giving this succinct analogy.

Now begins the summation.

The living entities propensity of acquiring and discarding  physical  bodies
is factually the  process  of  birth  and  death  and  therefore  should  be
understood as not deserving to be the cause  of  sorrow.  Thus  the  Supreme
Lord gave explanation was given to delineate this.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

We learn from the Vedic  scriptures  that  those  who  lose  their  physical
bodies fighting  for  righteousness  receive  superior  physical  bodies  in
heavenly spheres of blessedness.  Such  a  transition  can  be  compared  to
discarding old, used, worn out clothes and attiring oneself  in  fresh,  new
raiment. So from another angle of vision it  is  being  confirmed  that  the
eternal soul is indestructible changing its embodied form for  another  when
the physical body  perishes.  Now  in  the  next  verse  some  examples  are
emphasised to give a more developed and comprehensive understanding of  this
indestructibility in the next verse.
