Soul is selected as the best simile for God
Upamaananityatvadharmo dvitiye gitah.
(In the second chapter of Gita, the comparative concept of the simile is well discussed).
In the second chapter of Gita, the soul, which is selected as the best simile is introduced and the concept of comparison is clearly established to give the reason for selection. The comparison is that God is eternal unlike the temporary world, like the soul, which is not destroyed even if the body is destroyed. Due to this comparison only, the soul is selected as the best simile.
