## Verses

### Bhagavad Gita 2.20

> न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्
> नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः ।
> अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो
> न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे ॥

Meaning (Hindi): आत्मा कभी जन्म नहीं लेता और कभी मरता नहीं। वह अजन्मा, नित्य, शाश्वत और पुरातन है; शरीर के मारे जाने पर भी वह नहीं मारा जाता।

Meaning (English): The self is never born and never dies. It is unborn, eternal, constant, and ancient; it is not killed when the body is killed.
