How does the text connect continuity, remembrance and future embodiment?

A simple beginning

Study the argument as several connected claims rather than treating a single verse as the whole doctrine. Bodily continuity, another embodiment, consciousness at death and destinations appear in different contexts.

Three places to read

  1. 1
    BG 2.13

    Uses bodily stages as the near side of a comparison.

  2. 2
    BG 8.6

    Connects remembrance at death with a reached state.

  3. 3
    BG 14.14–15

    Relates death under different guṇas to differing destinations.

Try it

Create a three-verse argument map and mark every arrow “explicit” or “inferred”.

Explain it

Explain the doctrine without pretending BG 2.13 answers every question about the process.
