Chapter 13
Link:- In the next verse, the Lord declares the reward of the vision of a person, who sees the Lord, as imperishable and abiding, equally in all beings.
samara pasyanhi sarvatra samavasthitamisvaram
na hinastyatmanatmanam tato yati param gatim
He who sees the Lord present, equally everywhere, realising this he does not destroy himself by the self, therefore, he reaches the Supreme Goal. 28
Comment:-
Samam pasyanhi sarvatra samavasthitamisvaram:- The person who beholds the Lord, pervading the entire universe, the sentient and the insentient, the moving and the unmoving beings i.e., he realizes his identity with Him, does not kill the self, by the self i.e., does not follow a cycle of birth and death.
On the other hand, a person, who by identifying himself with a body regards its fitness, sickness, birth and death etc., as his own, destroys the self by the self i.e., leads the self, to the cycle of birth and death. It means, that identity of the self, with the body, leads a person to a downfall and he has to follow, the cycle of birth and death.
In fact nobody can kill himself, as the self is indestructible. Moreover, nobody wants to make himself non-existent. In fact, to assume identity with the body, is to commit suicide; to degrade himself and put himself into the cycle of birth and death.
Tato yati param gatim:- A person (self), who by identifying himself with the body, had to take birth in good and evil bodies, by realizing his identity with the Supreme Lord, attains the Supreme Goal, viz., the Supreme Lord, Who is ever attained.
A Vital Fact
The Lord, pervades everywhere, every time, every person, thing, incident, circumstance or action, equally. If He is hard to be attained, what is easy to be attained? We can attain Him, wherever we desire. In fact, the seemingly existent world, does not stay even, for a moment. In the world, there is nothing but change. It is a mass of change only. As, when an electric fan moves speedily, it seems like a circle and its blades appear like the circle and they go out of sight, similarly, the world seems to exist and the Lord like the blade Who really exists is not seen. Actually it is only God who exists.
