The materialistic standpoint - 26-28
Atha chainam nitya jatam nityam va manyase mrutam I
Tatha api tvam mahabaho na enam shochitum arhasi II sloka 26
अथ चैनं नित्य जातं नित्यं वा मान्यसे मृतं ।
तथा अपि त्वं महाबाहो न एनं शोचितुम अर्हसि ।। श्लोक २६
Or if you hold this self as being constantly born and as constantly dying, even then, O mighty armed one, it does not become you to feel grief.
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.
