“For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.”
-Bhagavad-Gita 2.20
Srila Prabhupada explains in the purport to this verse that the soul is sometimes called steady. While the body goes through six stages of transformation: birth, maintenance, growth, producing some effects or offspring, dwindling, and vanishing or death, the soul never changes. The soul has no birth, and therefore, has no death.
