न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्

na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin nāyaṃ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ .

2.20 It is not born, nor does It ever die; after having been, It again ceases not to be; unborn, eternal, changeless and ancient, It is not killed when the body is killed.

Why this verse: The soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing — a meditation on the mystery of what we are, and what we are not.
