Themes within the Bhagavad-gita
Soul and Transmigration
BG 2.12 - 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. BG 2.13 - 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. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change. BG 2.14 - 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. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
