Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2.26

atha cainaḿ nitya-jātaḿ

nityaḿ vā manyase mṛtam

tathāpi tvaḿ mahā-bāho

nainaḿ śocitum arhasi

Translation

If, however, you think that the soul [or the symptoms of life] is always born and dies forever, you still have no reason to lament, O mighty-armed.

Author Name:-Sri Ramanuja

Purport

Sri Ramanuja

2.26 Besides, if you consider this self as identical with the body, which is constantly born and constantly dies — which is nothing other than these characteristics of the body mentioned above —, even then it does not become you to feel grief; because, birth and death are inevitable for the body, whose nature is modification.

Author Name:-Sri Adi Shankaracharya

Purport

Sri Adi Shankaracharya

2.26 This (verse), ‘On the other hand,’ etc., is uttered assuming that the Self is transient. Atha ca, on the other hand, if (– conveys the sense of assumption –); following ordinary experience, manyase, you think; enam, this One, the Self under discussion; is nityajatam, born continually, becomes born with the birth of each of the numerous bodies; va, or; nityam, constantly; mrtam, dies, along with the death of each of these (bodies); tatha api, even then, even if the Self be of that nature; tvam, you; maha-baho, O mighty-armed one; na arhasi, ought not; socitum, to grieve; evam, thus, since that which is subject to birth will die, and that which is subject to death will be born; these two are inevitable.

Author Name:-Sri Madhvacharya

Purport

Sri Madhvacharya

Even though the immortal soul is eternal, because of its constant connection and disconnection with the physical body from time immemorial it believes it is experiencing birth and death.

Now begins the summation.

Thus exists this expansive samsara known as the endless cycle of birth and death in the material existence. Until and unless the living entity has attained liberation from the material existence, one is subject to the stringent laws of endless births and deaths in different physical bodies as ordained by the material nature and so are following natural order. Therefore by possessing even this small amount of knowledge there is no need to worry.

In the Shabda Nirnaya it is stated:

Eternal and permanent the immortal soul is known to be and also the immortal soul is eternally in accordance with the cosmic order.

Understanding in the knowledge that there is a cosmic order to existence one should not grieve.
