The Evergreen Teachings of Gita

Part Two

Dr.Sarma@work

This part 2 brings out the distinction

between the perishable body or Sareera and

the imperishable soul or Atman. It highlights

the very transient nature of our mortal life.

Indeed,

Certain is death for the born

So too is birth for the dead.

Therefore,

over the inevitable,

we shouldn’t lament.

Birth, childhood, youth, old age, decay

are, but very inevitable consequences for

the embodied.

So is, the transfer into a new body.

The firm never grieve at these natural

transformations.

We weren’t existing in the past –

We, for sure, will not exist in future –

We are seen transiently on this stage only for a

short while –

What then,

is there to grieve about?

In sharp contrast to the mortal body,

the Atman is immutable.

It is unaffected by

the missiles, the fire,

the flood and the gale.

Just as an actor casts off his kingly

robes after enacting a king and

puts on the attire of a beggar to play a

beggar,

the embodied soul too, soon changes

its names and forms.

The Atman is neither ever born, dead,

nor it ceases to exist –

because it is – Unborn, Eternal,

Changeless and Ancient.

Even after the demise of the

body, the Atman never demises.

Slain, you will be immortal, for

you would have fought a noble

cause.Victorious, you enjoy the

estate.Either way, I don’t see any

loss.

So, get up with

firm conviction to fight.

Dr.Sarma@work

The Wise

Will never succumb to pressure

Convert all problems into opportunities

Grieve not – come what may !

Look at despair and despondency with disdain

“A non-doer may perceive no failure

but never has the chance to succeed”
