Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
26 – 27 - 28. Even if you think that this Jiva is perpetually born and perpetually dies, even then, O Arjuna, you do not deserve to grieve. For one who is born, death is certain and birth, to one who dies. Therefore, considering this to be unavoidable you do not deserve to grieve. The unmanifest Jivas become manifest in the middle, O Arjuna, and again become unmanifest on death (of the body). Why then, this (grieving)?
Bhashya :- Thus even though the self is eternal, because of its association and dis-association with body (experiences as it were), birth and death as being certain. Thus He speaks in the verse. Why should one not grieve? Because of it (death) being according to Cosmic Order, thus he says in the verse. In this manner, He explains in the verse „अव्यक्तादीनि‟.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Thus exists this expansive samsara. Until the Jiva finds deliverance, birth and death (of the body) are according to (Cosmic) order, and which you, Arjuna, would agree as the natural order. Therefore, even after such little knowledge, you do not deserve to get worried. “Eternal, permanent (it is) said to be, and also eternal and ever according to Cosmic order” thus according to Shabda Nirnaya. Here (also) it is according to Cosmic Order. . „For one who is born,(death) is certain.‟ thus having been expressed. Therefore, in this context there is no cause to be surprised.
