Shloka 25
🌟 Sanskrit:
अव्यक्तोऽयमचिन्त्योऽयमविकार्योऽयमुच्यते |
तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमर्हसि || 2.25 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
avyakto ’yam acintyo ’yam avikāryo ’yam ucyate |
tasmād evaṁ viditvainaṁ nānuśocitum arhasi ||
🌟 Meaning:
It is said that the soul is invisible (avyakta), inconceivable (acintya), and unchangeable (avikārya). Therefore, knowing this, you should not grieve.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna adds three more essential qualities to our understanding of the soul. It is invisible to our material eyes, inconceivable by our limited minds, and unchangeable by any external force. Because the soul exists beyond the grasp of our senses and intellect, it is a fundamentally spiritual entity. Krishna's conclusion is direct and practical: once you understand this profound truth, there is simply no logical reason left for grief.
Shloka 26
🌟 Sanskrit:
अथ चैनं नित्यजातं नित्यं वा मन्यसे मृतम् |
तथापि त्वं महाबाहो नैवं शोचितुमर्हसि || 2.26 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
atha cainaṁ nitya-jātaṁ nityaṁ vā manyase mṛtam |
tathāpi tvaṁ mahā-bāho naivaṁ śocitum arhasi ||
🌟 Meaning:
However, if you think that the soul is perpetually born and always dies, even then, O mighty-armed one, you have no reason to lament.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna, the master teacher, now addresses a potential counter-argument. He says, "Okay, let's assume for a moment that you don't accept the soul's eternality. Let's say you believe that the self is born with the body and dies with it." Even from this purely materialistic viewpoint, he argues, grief is still illogical. This shows Krishna's willingness to meet Arjuna at his own level of understanding to make his point.
Shloka 27
🌟 Sanskrit:
जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च |
तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि || 2.27 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyur dhruvaṁ janma mṛtasya ca |
tasmād aparihārye ’rthe na tvaṁ śocitum arhasi ||
🌟 Meaning:
For one who has been born, death is certain; and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.
🌟 Explanation:
This is Krishna's punchline for the materialistic argument. If birth and death are an inevitable, cyclical process, then why grieve over something that cannot be avoided? Just as day follows night, death follows birth. It is a fundamental law of nature. Grieving over the inevitable is a useless expenditure of energy. Therefore, one should accept this reality and focus on their duty (dharma).
Today’s Takeaway
Accept what you cannot change. Whether you believe in an eternal soul or not, the reality of birth and death is a fundamental truth of existence. Worrying about the inevitable only drains you of the energy needed to perform your duties and live a meaningful life. True wisdom lies in accepting the unchangeable and focusing your efforts on what you can control: your actions and your attitude. 🧘♂️💪
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👐👏💓💕💖💞💫🙌🙏
