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 sloka 30
देहि नित्यं अवध्यः अयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत ।
तस्मात सर्वाणि भूतानि नत्वं शोचितुम् अर्हसि ।। श्लोक ३०
This the indweller in the bodies of all is ever invulnerable, O Bharata. Therefore you should not grieve for any being.
The self within the body of everyone such as Gods etc, must be considered to be eternally imperishable, though the body can be killed. Therefore all beings from gods to immovable beings, even though they possess different forms, are all uniform and eternal in their nature as described above. The inequality and the perishableness pertain only to the bodies. Therefore it is not fit for you to feel grief for any of the beings beginning from gods etc. and not merely for Bhishma and such others.
