Chapter 2 · Verse 22
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You should view death not as an end, but simply as a natural transition, much like changing out of old, worn-out clothes into new ones. Your eternal soul merely sheds the physical body to continue its journey. Recognizing this truth is a key part of jnana, the spiritual knowledge that frees you from the painful grip of worldly grief.
Translation
2.22 As a man casts off worn-out garments and puts on others that are new, so does the embodied self cast off Its worn-out bodies and enter into others that are new.
