Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
A wise man, also give up a physical body, but he neither acquires anomer body nor does he enjoy the objects of senses, with attachment. The Lord, in the thirteenth verse of the second chapter, declares, "Just as, in this body the embodied (soul) passes through childhood, youth and old age, so also, does It pass into another body. But the wise man, is not deluded (perplexed) by this." The reason is, that a wise man beholds, with an eye of wisdom, mat all activities, such as birth or death etc., or modifications occur, in the kaleidoscopic body, rather than, in the uniform self. The self, ever remains free, totally from all modifications. It is because of identification with a body and because of the desire to derive pleasures out of it, that a man feels modification, in him (the self). The deluded, behold the soul connected with the modes, while the wise behold It, in reality, free from contact, with modes.
