This passage from the Bhagavad Gita chapter 2, verse 20 discusses the nature of the eternal soul or self (Atman). It summarizes:
1) The soul is eternal and unchanging - it is neither born nor does it die.
2) When the body dies, the soul does not perish but moves onto another body. It is without beginning and endless.
3) All changes and transformations are properties of the material body and mind, not the transcendental soul. The soul remains forever the same, fully aware and absolute.
