Texts 76-77] Talks Between Nārada and King Prācīnabarhi
1467
“As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.” (Bg. 2.13)
Unless all human society understands this important verse in  Bhagavad-gītā , civilization will advance in ignorance, not in knowledge.

TRANSLATION
The caterpillar transports itself from one leaf to another by capturing one leaf before giving up the other. Similarly, according to his previous work, the living entity must capture another body before giving up the one he has. This is because the mind is the reservoir of all kinds of desires.
