Chapter 14
idam jaanamupasritya mama sadharmyamagatah
sarge'pi nopajayante pralaye na vyathanti ca
Those, who having taken refuge in this wisdom and have merged into My Being, are not born again, at the time of a new creation, nor do they suffer, at the time of final dissolution. 2
Comment:-
Idam jnanamupasritya:-In the preceding verse, the term 'wisdom' was qualified by the adjectives, supreme and best. Having acquired that wisdom, a man's doubts perish, and he becomes, an embodiment of wisdom.
Mama stdharmyamagatah:- Having acquired that wisdom, people enter into the Lord's Being i.e., they become free from doership and enjoyership, like the Lord and realize that they are uniform and untainted, like Him.
The wise, become uniform and untainted, like the Lord, hut they cannot create, sustain and destroy the universe, like Him. Sorne of the Yogis by the practice of Yoga, acquire some exceptional power, but that cannot be on a par with, the Lord's power, which is but natural. The power of a Yogi, is limited,
while that of the Lord is unlimited, as He is, omnipotent.
Sarge'pi nopajayante:- Here, the term 'api' (also), denotes that the wise are not born, even at the time of creation, when different worlds come into existence, and their masters or officers are born. Those wise men, being free from contact with the Gunas, are not born, because it is contact with the Gunas which determines, one's birth.
Pralaye na vyathanti ca:- At the time of final dissolution, all beings are scorched or drowned by floods. There is commotion and lamentation in the entire universe. But, those wise men are not tormented, they do not undergo any commotion or lamentation.
They are neither born, at the time of new creation, nor are tormented at the time of final dissolution, because their contact with Prakrti and its Gunas, which is the cause of birth, death and lamentation etc., is totally, renounced.
