Bija

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा- न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही

vāsāṃsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛhṇāti naro'parāṇi tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāni anyāni saṃyāti navāni dehī

Krishna compares the soul changing bodies to a person changing old clothes for new ones, showing that bodily death is not the end of the self.
