अर्जुना सांगेन आइक I एथ आम्ही तुम्ही देख I आणि हे भूपती अशेख I आदिकरुनि II 103 II
नित्यता ऐसेचि असोनि I ना तरी निश्चित क्षया जाउनी I हे भ्रांती वेगळी करुनी I दोन्ही नाहीं II 104 II
हें उपजे आणि नाशे I तें मायावशें दिसे I येऱ्हवीं तत्त्वता वस्तु जे असे नाही I ते अविनाशचि II 105 II
जैसें पवनें तोय हालविलें I आणि तरंगाकार जाहलें I तरी कवण कें जन्मलें I म्हणों ये तेथ II 106 II
तेंचि वायूचें स्फुरण ठेलें I आणि उदक सहज सपाट जाहलें I तरी आतां काय निमालें I विचारीं पां II 107 II

Listen to me Arjun, said Lord Krishna. For all the present here on the battlefield Kurukshetra including you, me and other kings, to say that they are here to stay eternally or that their death is certain are both only illusionary ideas. All the coming and going as such are only an illusion.
Birth and death are manifestations of Maya, the cosmic delusion while for the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does He ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval.
Ripples *appear* on smooth water when the wind blows, then in reality what is actually *"born"*? And with the wind dropped when the ripples *cease* and water becomes smooth again, what is it that actually *"die"?* 

आईकें शरीर तरी एक I परी वयसाभेद अनेक I हें प्रत्यक्षचि देख I प्रमाण तूं II 108 II

तैसीं चैतन्याच्या ठायीं I इयें शरीरांतरें होती जाती पाहीं I ऐसें जाणे तया नाहीं I व्यामोहदुःख II 110 II

"Let me draw your attention to another example you can vividly correlate said Lord Krishna to Dhananjay.
When childhood turns into youth, the childhood ceases, not the body. Similarly a soul never dies. It is the body which dies. The eternal soul leaves one body and takes another. The one who realizes this never falls prey to the delusion of attachment"
