Nothing is permanent in this universe.
Everything including the universe itself is changing all the time. Neither our body nor our mind is forever. Our body is made up of atoms/cells and all are regenerating as we have learned from biology. We are able to feel this change. Why? Similarly, all of us used to have dreams. After a good nights sleep with a beautiful dream in it, you'll wake up the next morning with little memories of last nights dream. But how?
Have you ever wondered how this is all possible?
If your body and mind are constantly changing, what are you made of? If you can remember your dreams while you are asleep, who is the one watching you while you are asleep? Or what makes you say that you had a good sleep yesterday? What gives you that knowledge? Don't misunderstand that it is your mind.
You are not "YOUR MIND". 'Your mind' - So who is YOU!!?
We are able to feel this change happening only because there is something non-changing within us. That is our Aathma(Soul). It has no form nor it is our mind. It may take different bodies/forms(Reincarnation). But in the end that is the only thing which you have which can fill the definition of YOU. We can say it is the consciousness.
It is not sleeping while we sleep, it won't feel sorrow/happiness/pain while we do nor it will Die with us. Instead, it will remain as a witness all the time. In fact, we are this never-ending, omnipresent 'Aathma'. It is our mind which deviates us from reaching such state. But it is not something unachievable. Such states have been achieved by many Rishis(sages) long back. Budha calls it the 'Enlightenment'. You can also fell this presence if you can differentiate yourself from what you see. Because the reality is not what you see. What you see is just Krishna's Maya (Illusions).
