🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 22:

उपद्रष्टानुमन्ता च भर्ता भोक्ता महेश्वर: |

परमात्मेति चाप्युक्तो देहेऽस्मिन्पुरुष: पर: ||22||

Upadraṣhṭānumantā cha bhartā bhoktā maheśhvaraḥ

paramātmeti chāpy ukto dehe ’smin puruṣhaḥ paraḥ ||22||

🔴 In this body there is also the Transcendent and the Supreme Spirit, who is described as the Supreme Self and Sovereign Lord, the unconcerned Witness, the Sanctioner, the Supporter, and the Enjoyer.

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 23:

य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणै: सह |

सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते ||23||

Ya evaṁ vetti puruṣhaṁ prakṛitiṁ cha guṇaiḥ saha

sarvathā vartamāno ’pi na sa bhūyo ’bhijāyate ||23||

🔴 Whoever thus knows the Purusa (Spirit) and Prakriti (Nature) along with its effects, will never be born again, whatever be his mode of living.
