The Self 5: This Body, A Garment For Soul Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

On giving up the garments old,
As people put on others new,
So doth this body-bearer too—
Take up new flesh in place of old.

Worn out garments as man doth cast
Aside, take new that would long last,
So also, dresst in flesh and blood,
The soul takes new in place of old. || 2.22 ||
