Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 22
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 22

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय
नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि।
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा
न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही।।2.22।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी तेजोमयानंद
।।2.22।। जैसे मनुष्य जीर्ण वस्त्रों को त्यागकर दूसरे नये वस्त्रों को धारण करता है? वैसे ही देही जीवात्मा पुराने शरीरों को त्याग कर दूसरे नए शरीरों को प्राप्त होता है।।


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.

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.
