Adhyay 2, shlok 12 of the Bhagavad Gita reads:
न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः। न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम्।।
This shlok can be transliterated as:
na tv evāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ sarve vayam ataḥ param
To explain the shlok in simple words:
In this shlok, Lord Krishna continues to explain to Arjuna the nature of the soul and the importance of fulfilling one's duty without attachment. He says that the soul is eternal and indestructible, and neither Arjuna nor any of the rulers on the battlefield have ever not existed, nor will they ever cease to exist. Krishna emphasizes that all of them, including himself, are eternal beings beyond the material body and mind.
This shlok highlights the concept of the eternal nature of the soul and the temporary nature of the material body. It also emphasizes that all living beings are equal in their eternal existence beyond the temporary material distinctions of class, race, or nationality. Therefore, Krishna encourages Arjuna to focus on his duty as a warrior and fight without attachment to the outcome, knowing that the soul is eternal and indestructible.
