Atman Transcends Mind & Speech - 29-30
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 30
Dehi nityam avadhyah ayam dehe sarvasya bharata I
Tasmat sarvani bhutani natvam shochitum arhasi II
देहि नित्यं अवध्यः अयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत ।
तस्मात सर्वाणि भूतानि नत्वं शोचितुम् अर्हसि ।।
This the indweller in the bodies of all is ever invulnerable, O Bharata. Therefore you should not grieve for any being.
The views of materialists are herein set aside as he fact about atman is baseless. Further, the fact about atman is conclusively presented. It is incumbent on man to be poised above despondency and thereby pave the way for spiritual enlightenment. And this is verily the path of Sreyas.
A man suffers from a midnight dream that somebody comes with a sword to butcher him to pieces. Being frightened beyond wit, he screams and wakes up. He finds in the dim lamp light, the door bolted within and the presence of none in the room. Still his heart continues to palpitate rapidly for some time. This is the sign of one's identification with one's body.
Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
