The Right Vision
Weather conditions were such that it made it prohibitive
to trek a serious length. Today I walked
pacing our inside balcony back and forth.
I did walk intellectually through a string of verses from the Bhagavad
Gita, a kind of power tight rope walking.
From chapter 13, Nature, The Enjoyer, And Consciousness.
13.27:
“Oh chief of the
Bharatas, know that whatever you see in existence, both the moving and the non
moving, is only a combination of the field of activities and the knower of the
field.”
13.28:
“One who sees the
Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands
that neither the soul nor the Supersoul within the destructible body is ever
destroyed, actually sees.”
13.29:
“One who sees the
Supersoul equally present everywhere, in every living being, does not degrade
himself, thus he approaches the transcendental destination.”
13.30:
“One who can see
that all activities are performed by the body, which is created of material
nature, and sees that the self does nothing, actually sees.”
13.31:
“When a sensible
person ceases to see different identities due to different material bodies and
sees how beings are expanded everywhere, he attains to the Brahman
conception.”
13.32:
“Those with the
vision of eternity can see that the imperishable soul is transcendental,
eternal, and beyond the modes of nature.
Despite contact with the material body, O Arjuna, the soul neither does
anything nor is entangled.”
13.33:
“The sky, due to
its subtle nature, does not mix with anything, although it is all
pervading. Similarly, the soul situated
in Brahman vision does not mix with the body, though situated in that body.”
13.34:
“O son of Bharat,
as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one
within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.”
13.35:
“Those who see with
eyes of knowledge the difference between the body and the knower of the body,
and can also understand the process of liberation from bondage in material
nature, attain to the supreme goal.”
May the Source be with you!
