Ch 02 : Sh 20

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि-न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः ।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो-न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे ॥

na jayate mriyate va kadacin nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato 'yam purano na hanyate hanyamane sarire

Translation

There is neither birth nor death of the soul at any time. Nor, having once been, does it ever cease to be. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. The soul is not killed when the body is slain.
