Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji
CHAPTER 2
Curiosity About Action
नासतो विद्यते भावो नाभावो विद्यते सत:। [ ‘‘The unreal has no being and the real has no non-being; and the truth about both has also been seen by men who know the reality.’’ ] The unreal has no existence; it has no being and so bringing it to an end is out of the question. On the other hand, there is no absence of the real in all time-past, present or future. Arjun then asks Krishn whether he is saying this as an incarnation of God. Krishn’s reply to this is that the distinction between the real and the unreal has also been revealed to sages who have realized the true nature of the human Soul as identical with the Supreme Spirit pervading the universe. That is to say that Krishn of the Geeta is a seer who has gained an insight into reality. What, after all, are true and false, real and unreal? |
