Chapter-2
Sankhya and Yoga
22. As a person casts off worn out clothes and takes on new ones, even so the Self discards worn out bodies and enters into new ones. Even as a person throws away his old clothes and dons new ones, so the Lord of intelligence takes on another body. 23. Weapons do not cleave him nor does fire burn him; water does not wet him, nor does wind parch him. 24. He cannot be cut, burnt, or made wet or dry. He is eternal, all-pervading, stable, unmoving and constant.The Self is beginningless and everlasting, without limiting conditions and pure, so he cannot be cut by weapons etc. (141-145). He is not drenched in the water of the deluge, nor burnt by fire nor parched by the wind. So, Arjuna, the Self should be realised as eternal, unmoving and constant, existing everywhere at all times and perfect. |
