What Atma does?



अविनाशि तु तद्विद्धि एन सर्वमिदम् ततम्
विनाशमव्ययस्यास्य न कश्चित्कर्तुमर्हति
अंतवंत इमे देहा नित्यस्योक्ताः शरीरिणः
अनाशिनो अप्रमेयस्य तस्माद्युध्यस्व भारत
य एनम् वेत्ति हंतारम् यश्चैनम् मन्यते हतं
उभौ तौ विजानीतो नायं हंति न हन्यतॆ
नजायतॆ म्रियतेवा कदाचिन् नायम् भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोयम् पुराणो, न हन्यतॆ हन्यमानो शरीरॆ
वेदविनाशनम् नित्यम् न एनमजमव्ययम्
कथम् स पुरुषः पार्थ कम् घातयति हंति कम्
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णानि नरोपराणि
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णान्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही
नैनं छिंदंति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः
न चैनं क्लेदयंत्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः
अच्छेद्यो अयम् अदाह्यो अयम् अक्लेद्यो अशोष्य एव च
नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुः अचलोयम् सनातनः
अव्यक्तो अयम् अचिंत्यो अयम् अविकार्यो अयम् उच्यते
तस्मादेवम् विदित्वैनम् नानुशोचितुमर्हसि
अथ चैनं नित्यजातं नित्यं वा मन्यसे मृतं
तथापि त्वं महाबाहो नैवं शोचितुमर्हसि
जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च
तस्मादपरिहार्ये अर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि

Understand that it can't be killed and is present everywhere and in everyone. Nobody gets the right to destroy this. The routine of the atma in the body is that post the end, it moves to another body. This is undestroyable and immeasurable, therefore, just fight in the war. It doesn't go anywhere and cannot be sent too. Nobody can tell that this isn't there during past, present and the future. As told in the Puranas, this isn't born, but is the constant and infinite. Any body cannot destroy this nor is destroyed by it. As you know that the vedas cannot be destroyed, the Atma is like that and for what are you weakening yourself thinking that you would destroy. As the people after utilizing something change the same, when it is old and consumes new, in the same way, this would travel through various bodies and post utilizing those, goes to another. This cannot be destroyed by weapons, nor burnt by the fire, rushed by water, blown by the air. This is like an atom yet is omnipresent and routinely constant as well as always available. This isn't seen, can't be thought and isn't a form by itself. Knowing this, you shouldn't be sad. As we think, this is constantly there and dies as a routine. Even for that, you don't need to be sad. Those who are born will die as the death will be given for the one who is born after the death. Because this can't be solved, you shouldn't feel sad about this. 


These are the few famous verses from the Gita as sung by Lord Krishna to Arjuna after educating him with the prior verses as below: While talking intelligently you are crying for undeserving. The pundits don't cry for those who have gone or who would go. I, you and no other King will go as all the activities of the future is decided by the ultimate power. The body will gradually get old, passing from the child and the youth phases, and then gets another body. hence, for this the sages won't get attached. O son of Kunti, only through touch or the feel, one would experience cold, hot, happiness and sad. Great warrior, for this, Gentlemen won't worry. Who takes Happiness and Sadness in the same way, that sage attains immortality. The untruth doesn't tell emotions and non-emotions doesn't teach truth and if one looks between that, there is a philosophical vision for one to learn.
