Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
29 - 30. (The one who knows the Jiva to be reflection of the Lord) such one sees this (fact) with surprise. Similarly others speak about (this) with wonder. Still others hear about (this) with wonder. Even after hearing about, no one has really understood (this phenomenon). The eternal dweller (the Lord, existing as protector) In the body of every one (Jiva), O Arjuna, makes him (the Jiva) Indestl1lctible. Therefore, you do not deserve grieving about all the creatures.
Bhashya :- With association or dis-association of the body according to Cosmic Order, the self, being the a infinitesimal reflection of the form of the Lord, is never destroyed (even during the repetitious connection and disconnection with the body); therefore, no reason for grief. Thus as summarized conclusion. The power of the Lord is again shown as अश्चर्यवद्‟. 'With rare possibility' being the meaning. Therefore, in this world it is a marvel. Even though rare, being reflection of the form of the Lord, and being subtle, the self being aware of it, is (also rare).
Tatparya Nirnaya :- What is there to be marveled for the Lord to say – „This is marvel?‟ Marvelous, verily, is this self. Therefore, (the wise one) sees this (Jiva) as marvelous, as reflection (of the Lord) and again (on realization) being marveled. Similar to the manner (of seeing) the eye being the form of the sky, the ocean being the form of the ocean. “आश्चर्य- भगवान्विष्णुर्यस्मानैतादृश: क्वाचित- तस्मात्तद्गोचरं ज्ञानं: तादगोचरवदेव तु ||” thus, in Brahma Tarka. Marvel is also the Lord Vishnu Himself; another one similar to Him is difficult to be seen. Therefore, the wisdom about Him is, verily, similar to perceiving Him. Not being marveled is the sign of those who are unenlightened. Therefore, the use of the word कश्चिद.
