It does not mean that there is no difference between body and soul,
but what it means is that Sri Krishna was SOUL CONSCIOUS, so He was
the SOUL itself and not the body. In the case of Sri Krishna, He
was free from the bondage to His body, so He did not die in that sense,
He just left the body. But, for the laws of science, He left
the body behind, so he died in that sense.
