Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
22. Even as a person casts away his worn-out clothes and takes on those which are new, even so does the Jiva casts away his worn-out body and lakes on that is new.
Bhashya :- In this verse, the Lord clarifies the difference in experience about the body and the self, as an illustration.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- For self acquiring and discarding the body is like birth and death; therefore it need not be the cause of sorrow. Hence the explanation contained in verse 22.
23. Weapons do not cleave this (the Jiva), nor does the fire burn; water does not make this moist nor does the wind dry.
Bhashya :- In the normal circumstances, though there is no destruction, there may appear seeming destruction like the head of Daksha Prajaapati (ककच्छेदवत्). To avoid such understanding it is mentioned that the Jiva cannot even be pierced etc. k means Daksha Prajapati.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- There is no cause (for destruction) for the Lord also by others.
