देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा। तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति॥
dehino'smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati
Translation
Just as the embodied soul continuously passes from childhood to youth to old age in this body, so too does it pass into another body at death. The wise person is not bewildered by this.
Commentary
Krishna uses a brilliant analogy - just as we don't grieve when a child becomes an adult, we shouldn't grieve at death. The soul simply moves to a new body, like changing clothes.
