Gnani with Youth

Questioner: Sometimes I have scary thoughts about dying. The more I think about it, the more confused I get, and the more questions I have. Help me so that I understand more about life.

Pujyashree: Do you take a bath every day?

Questioner: Yes, I do.

Pujyashree: Yes, so you take off your old clothes and put on new ones. That means you are permanent and the clothes keep changing every day. Sometimes in the afternoon, if you have to go to a wedding reception or somewhere else, then you change your clothes again. So, the body is temporary, and the soul is permanent. Is the body temporary or not?
