Q70. Are we eternal?

Yes. We (the soul) are eternal. We live forever, but in different bodies. “There was never a time when you, all these kings, and I did not exist. Nor shall any of us cease to exist in the future. The embodied soul in this body goes through boyhood, youth, and old age. At death, the soul transfers to another body. This never bewilders a wise person.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 2.12-13)

Just as you exist now, you existed in the past, and you will continue to exist in the future. There is a law of physics, which states that energy cannot be destroyed, but it changes forms. We (the soul) are the energy and the body is the form. When our current body is finished, we will change our form. Thus, we get a new body. This is another proof of reincarnation.
