Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 1 The Yog of Irresolution and Grief The physical ruby is hard, but the jewel of breath is even more tender than a flower. Flowers fall and wither soon after they bloom, and we can never say that we shall live until the next breath. But if there is true adherence to the Self, it leads us to realize the highest goal through providing control over each breath. There is nothing to proclaim beyond this, although each device is helpful in traversing a certain stretch of the path of spiritual perfection.Sanjay further speaks on the subject: काश्यश्र्च परमेष्वासः शिखण्डी च महारथः। धृष्टद्युम्नो विराटश्र्च सात्यकिश्र्चापराजितः॥17॥ द्रुपदो द्रौपदेयाश्र्च सर्वशः पृथिवीपते। सौभद्रश्र्च महाबाहुः शङ्खान्दध्मुः पृथक्पृथक्॥18॥ [ “The King of Kashi, a great bowman, Shikhandi who dwells in the Supreme Spirit, the unvanquished Dhristdyumn, Virat and Satyaki, Drupad and the sons of Draupadi, and Subhadra’s son of powerful arms (Abhimanyu), all blew, O lord of the earth, their own conches.’’ ]
