शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्क्रामतीश्वर: |
गृहीत्वैतानि संयाति वायुर्गन्धानिवाशयात् ||8||
गृहीत्वैतानि संयाति वायुर्गन्धानिवाशयात् ||8||
When the soul leaves one body and enters another, it carries the senses and the mind with it, just as the wind carries scents from one place to another.
- Sharira: The physical body which the soul occupies.
- Vayu: Wind, used metaphorically for how the soul moves from body to body.
Using the analogy of wind carrying scents, Krishna explains the transmigration of the soul. The departure of the soul does not erase its tendencies; instead, it carries forward impressions and desires, shaping the next life. This reinforces the idea that liberation is not just about escape but about purification of the self.
