The Eternal and the Non-Existent

What is the difference between the real and the unreal, the true and the false, the soul and materiality? In this very special livestream event, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya shares with us one of the most important teachings of the Bhagavad Gita: the difference between the eternal and the impermanent.

“The Blessed Lord said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.11)

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.12)

“As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.13)

“O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.14)

“O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.15)

“Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [materiality] there is no endurance, and of the existent [consciousness] there is no cessation. This seers have concluded by studying the nature of both.” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.16)
