since the above link no more works, let me add a few more things over here
As a person casts off worn out clothes and takes on new ones, even so the Self discards worn out bodies and enters into new ones.
Even as a person throws away his old clothes and dons new ones, so the Lord of intelligence takes on another body.
Weapons do not cleave him nor does fire burn him; water does not wet him, nor does wind parch him.
He cannot be cut, burnt, or made wet or dry. He is eternal, all- pervading, stable, unmoving and constant.
The Self is beginningless and everlasting, without limiting conditions and pure, so he cannot be cut by weapons etc. (141- 145). He is not drenched in the water of the deluge, nor burnt by fire nor parched by the wind. So, Arjuna, the Self should be realised as eternal, unmoving and constant, existing everywhere at all times and perfect.

If you're talking about the inner man,it's true because we are all spirit beings inhabiting this body in the earth,we are pure,limitless and everlasting but entangling ourselves with unclean,unhealthy and corrupt circumstances makes us feel sometimes that we do not have these good characteristics!!!!!!!!!!!

This is true.
But we have been and are subject to deterioration, particularly in this Universe
(The Physical Universe). This fact is also observable and true
and very definitely manifested.
The key is to reverse this dwindling spiral and rehabilitate ourselves back toward native state.

Pretentitious nonsense! Shakespeare said something about such utterances. I cannot recall the exact words now.

Whoever said this was an idiot. Look around and see that it is untrue.
