Chapter-15
The Supreme Person
The crow with only one common eye-ball, moves it from one eye to the other so fast, that it gives an erroneous impression that it has two eyes (131-135). When the top rotates very fast, its rapid motion gives the false impression that it is stationary and stuck to the ground. Why go far, if the firebrand is moved very fast round and round in darkness, it appears circular in shape. In the same way, the decomposition and growth of this world-tree takes place so fast, simultaneously, that the ordinary people do not perceive it and call it everlasting. But he, who realises, that this world-tree is momentary, that it grows and withers continuously in a moment and is false being rooted in ignorance (136-140), such a man, O Arjuna, is all knowing, the knower of Vedanta doctrine and is the object of my adoration. He alone, attains the fruit of Yoga and enlivens knowledge. Enough of this description. In this way, who can describe a person who knows that this world-tree is transitory?
