Shreemadbhawat says: a mortal thing doesnot exists and an immortal thing is never destroyed.
Body never existed before/after death, it is never stable, its forever changing..heading toward death. So we can clearly see that it is not stable, never stable in one place. Or we can say it never exists in one specific form, as it changes before we can even clearly realize that form..it starts as a baby and at a rapid, uncontrolled way heads toward death, changing every second.
On the other hand, soul is never destroyed. It is/was and will be always here. It only changes the body.

Beautifully said. Not only the body, everything is in a flux, constantly changing, only the soul or the "I" remains. It is always there. From an embryo to the old man, through all the changes in the mind, through all the transformations of the intellect, through the changing awareness, this is the only thing that is constant. Ramana Maharshi used to say, always ask "Who am I? and you will reach truth.
