Read the following except from the Bhagavad-Gita: "For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. He is not slain (killed) when the body is slain."
What central part of Hinduism does this quote illustrate?
This quote illustrates the central Hindu belief in the immortality of the soul, known as the concept of Atman. Hindus believe that the soul, or Atman, is eternal and everlasting, and is separate from the physical body. This belief is central to the cycle of birth and rebirth, known as reincarnation, in Hinduism.
