Chapter 2, verse 17 of the Bhagavad Gita reads:
"avināśhi tu tad viddhi yena sarvam idaṁ tatam vināśam avyayasyāsya na kaśhchit kartum arhati"
This verse is a continuation of Lord Krishna's teaching to Arjuna about the nature of the self and the impermanence of the body. Here's a simple explanation of the verse:
"avinashi tu tad viddhi yena sarvam idam tatam vinasham avyayasyasya na kashchit kartum arhati"
"Understand that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one can destroy the imperishable soul."
In simple words, Lord Krishna is telling Arjuna that the true nature of the self, or soul, is indestructible and eternal. While the physical body may be destroyed, the soul remains untouched and transcends physical limitations. Lord Krishna is emphasizing the importance of recognizing this truth and not identifying oneself solely with the body. This verse highlights the distinction between the temporary nature of the body and the eternal nature of the soul.
