Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 14 Division of The Three Properties Yogeshwar Krishn has told Arjun at the beginning of this chapter that he will again acquaint him with that knowledge which is the most sublime of all knowledge and after knowing which sages achieve identity with him and do not have to undergo rebirth at the outset of creation. They are also not grieved over the inevitable demise of the body. They, in fact, discard the body on the very day on which they achieve Selfrealization. Accomplishment is made in the course of physical life, but even the prospect of death does not affect them. Dwelling upon the nature of that from which they are liberated, Krishn has pointed out that the eightfold primal nature is the mother who conceives, whereas he is the life-giving father; besides them there is no other mother or father. Although there may well appear some mother and father so long as the relationship of nature (prakriti) and Soul (purush), of passive matter and the active male principle, lasts, in truth nature is mother and Krishn is father.
