12. Nor at any time indeed was I
not, nor these rulers of men, nor verily shall we ever cease to be hereafter.
Commentary: Lord Krishna
speaks here of the immortality of the Soul or the imperishable nature of the
Self (Atman). The Soul exists in the
three periods of time (past, present and future). Man continues to exist even after the death
of the physical body. There is life
beyond.
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा
देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा ।
तथा
देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ॥ २-१३॥
dehino ’smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati (2.13)

13. Just as in this body the
embodied (soul) passes into childhood, youth and old age, so also does he pass
into another body; the firm man does not grieve thereat.
Commentary: Just as there is
no interruption in the passing of childhood into youth and youth into old age
in this body, so also there is no interruption by death in the continuity of
the ego. The Self is not dead at the
termination of the stage, viz. childhood. It is certainly not born again at the
beginning of the second stage, viz, youth.
Just as the Self passes unchanged from childhood to youth and from youth
to old age, so also the Self passes unchanged from one body into another. Therefore, the wise man is not at all
distressed about it.
