The Gita according to Gandhi 212

The Gita according to Gandhi -Mahadev Desai

DISCOURCE 2 23. This no weapons wound, This no fire burns, This no waters wet, This no wind doth dry. 24. Beyond all cutting, burning, wetting and drying is This-eternal, all- pervading, stable, immovable, everlasting. 25. Perceivable neither by the senses nor by the mind, This is called unchangeable; therefore knowing This as such thou shouldst not grieve. 26. And if thou deemest This to be always coming to birth and always dying, even then, O Mahabahu, thou shouldst not grieve. 27. For certain is the death of the born, and certain is the birth of the dead; therefore what is unavoidable thou shouldst not regret. 28. The state of all beings before birth is unmanifest; their middle state manifest; their state after death is again unmanifest. What occasion is there for lament, O Bharata?
