Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

Changes of body account for varieties of enjoyment or suffering, according to one's work in life.

BG 2.13, Purport: This individual soul finally changes the body at death and transmigrates to another body; and since it is sure to have another body in the next birth -- either material or spiritual -- there was no cause for lamentation by Arjuna on account of death, neither for Bhisma nor for Drona, for whom he was so much concerned. Rather, he should rejoice for their changing bodies from old to new ones, thereby rejuvenating their energy. Such changes of body account for varieties of enjoyment or suffering, according to one's work in life.
