वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् । कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम्॥६-२४-२१॥
One who knows this Self to be indestructible, eternal, unborn, and unchanging—how can that person, O Pārtha, cause anyone to be struck down, or regard anyone as struck down?
english translation
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णान्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही॥६-२४-२२॥
As a person discards worn-out garments and takes up other new ones, so the embodied Self discards worn-out bodies and enters into other new ones.
english translation
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः । न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः॥६-२४-२३॥
Weapons do not cut it; fire does not burn it; waters do not wet it; wind does not dry it.
english translation
अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य एव च । नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः॥६-२४-२४॥
It is uncuttable, unburnable, unwettable, and undryable. It is eternal, all-pervading, stable, immovable, and timeless.
english translation
अव्यक्तोऽयमचिन्त्योऽयमविकार्योऽयमुच्यते । तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमर्हसि॥६-२४-२५॥
