Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Here is a proof direct that the body is the same, yet it' undergoes changes with aging. See, it is childhood in the beginning: when it disappears, youth takes its place. But there is no destruction of the body along with the different changes. Similar is the case with the soul which becomes embodied and dwells in different bodies. Those who know this truth are free from the evils of delusion.
