Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.4.35
"Experts in the subtle workings of nature, O subduer of the enemy, have declared that there are continuous processes of creation and annihilation that all created beings, beginning with Brahmā, constantly undergo." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/4/35
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.2-3
"O King, give up the animalistic mentality of thinking, “I am going to die.” Unlike the body, you have not taken birth. There was not a time in the past when you did not exist, and you are not about to be destroyed." "You will not take birth again in the form of your sons and grandsons, like a sprout taking birth from a seed and then generating a new seed. Rather, you are entirely distinct from the material body and its paraphernalia, in the same way that fire is distinct from its fuel." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/2 & https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/3
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.4
"In a dream one can see his own head being cut off and thus understand that his actual self is standing apart from the dream experience. Similarly, while awake one can see that his body is a product of the five material elements. Therefore it is to be understood that the actual self, the soul, is distinct from the body it observes and is unborn and immortal." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/4
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.5
"When a pot is broken, the portion of sky within the pot remains as the element sky, just as before. In the same way, when the gross and subtle bodies die, the living entity within resumes his spiritual identity." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/5
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.6
"The material bodies, qualities and activities of the spirit soul are created by the material mind. That mind is itself created by the illusory potency of the Supreme Lord, and thus the soul assumes material existence." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/6
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.7
"A lamp functions as such only by the combination of its fuel, vessel, wick and fire. Similarly, material life, based on the soul’s identification with the body, is developed and destroyed by the workings of material goodness, passion and ignorance, which are the constituent elements of the body." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/7
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.5.8
"The soul within the body is self-luminous and is separate from the visible gross body and invisible subtle body. It remains as the fixed basis of changing bodily existence, just as the ethereal sky is the unchanging background of material transformation. Therefore the soul is endless and without material comparison." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/5/8
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 12.7.20
"Although a material object may assume various forms and names, its essential ingredient is always present as the basis of its existence. Similarly, both conjointly and separately, the Supreme Absolute Truth is always present with the created material body throughout its phases of existence, beginning with conception and ending with death." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/7/20
