We continue our commentary on the Second Chapter of Bhagavad-gita, explaining the eternal nature of the soul. Because these comments are extemporaneous, they are only included in the podcast. If you are reading the blog, please download the podcast to get the complete material.
Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent there is no endurance, and of the existent there is no cessation. This seers have concluded by studying the nature of both. [Bhagavad-gita 2.16]
Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul. [Bhagavad-gita 2.17]
Only the material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is subject to destruction; therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata. [Bhagavad-gita 2.18]
He who thinks that the living entity is the slayer or that he is slain, does not understand. One who is in knowledge knows that the self slays not nor is slain. [Bhagavad-gita 2.19]
For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. [Bhagavad-gita 2.20]
