Srimad Bhagavat Gita Chapter 2 Verse 20


Chapter 2 verse 20

“He is not born, nor does He ever die; after having been, He again ceases not to be; unborn, eternal, changeless and ancient, He is not killed when the body is killed”

This verse reminds me of Brian Weiss’s “Many Lives; Many Masters” which talks about past life regression written by a scientist/doctor who is from a different belief structure. Truth doesn’t rest on beliefs. As earlier mentioned, whether you believe in multiple births of the soul or not, it happens. Lord Krishna couldn’t clarify this better. I am very intrigued by the word “ancient”. When my parents and I visited the Brahma Kumari ashram in Mount Abu a few years ago, their exhibit wondered about if you would have around when Ram was king of Ayodhya and if you were what your role was? Instead of focusing on all our previous lives, let’s focus on life at hand. There are numerous stories in our puranas and even Mahabharata and Ramayana explaining why a particular person goes through an experience due to their actions in previous lives.

Do we recognize why we have been put in a particular situation? Does it matter that we have to recognize why? Why cannot we just act? Our souls have been around for ages…ancient souls..Just acting would do us a lot of good to not be reborn again.
