The Soul Never Dies
The real ‘you’ is not the body — it is eternal and deathless.
Guru Granth SahibGuru Granth Sahib · Ang 441
ਮਨ ਤੂੰ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਰੂਪੁ ਹੈ ਆਪਣਾ ਮੂਲੁ ਪਛਾਣੁ
Man tooN jot saroop hai, aapṇaa mool pachhaaṇ
English
O my mind, you are the embodiment of divine light — know your true origin.
— Ekam (simplified)
Punjabi meaning coming soon
Common thread
What you truly are cannot die — it is a spark of the eternal.
Echo
The Katha Upanishad and Gita 2.20 are almost word-for-word identical — the Gita is literally quoting the older Vedic teaching.
📖 A story to understand
On the battlefield, Arjuna froze in grief at the thought of death all around him. Krishna lifted his sorrow: the soul is never slain — like changing worn-out clothes, it simply moves on. So mourn not for what cannot die.
