Gita 15.8

Shareeram’, yat’, avaapnoti, yat’, ch, api, utkraamati, iishwarH,
Grheetva, etaani, sanyaati, vaayuH, gandhaan’, iv, aashyaat’ ||8||

Translation: (VaayuH) wind (gandhaan’) smell (aashyaat’) carries because wind is master of smell (iv) similarly (iishwarH) the Almighty God (api) also (etaani) along with these five senses and mind in an immaterial body (grheetva) by acquiring, soul (yat’) the old body which (utkraamati) abandoning (ch) and (yat’) the new, which (shareeram’) body (avaapnoti) attains, based on destiny (sanyaati) takes. (8)

Translation: Wind carries the smell because wind is the master of smell; similarly, the Almighty God also takes the soul along with these five senses and mind by acquiring an immaterial body, from the old body which the soul abandons to the new body which it attains, based on destiny. It is also evident in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 Verse 61.
