Devotee, Los Angeles, December 11, 1968: “He who dwells in the body is eternal…”
Prabhupada: “He who dwells within this body is eternal.” Then?
Devotee: “…and can never be slain.”
Prabhupada: “And can never be slain.” Because it is already described [Bg. 2.20] that soul cannot be burned, soul cannot be moistened, soul cannot be dried up, soul cannot be killed, soul cannot be cut into pieces. So many things. Just opposite of matter.

Any material thing you take, even stone, iron, it can be burned, it can be cut into pieces, it can dry up, and so many things, all applicable to the matter. But so far the spirit soul is concerned, it is just the opposite. Therefore the conclusion is there, na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20].

Even after this body is annihilated the soul remains eternal. Just like if somebody comes and drives us out of this room, that does not mean that I am finished. I shall go and take shelter of another room. Similarly, when the soul, when the body is killed or annihilated by nature or by force, the soul takes shelter of another body. That is the conclusion.
