Chapter 2 verse 25
“This Self is said to be unmanifest, unthinkable and
unchangeable. Therefore knowing this to be such, you should not grieve”
All 3 qualities of the Soul described in this sloka are not
comprehensible by the mind or anyone who associates themselves with body and
mind. Who will “Know” that you are the soul? Body and mind? No, the source of
the “I” has to know and that according to Ramana Maharishi is in the heart.
Only 2 ways to drop the mind and reach the soul is to constantly drop the
thought or surrender the thought to the Divine in you! Chitta Nivritha Suddhi…he
says!
I read somewhere very recently that difference between a
teacher and Guru is that Guru gives what is exactly the student needs and the
teacher gives what they know in that subject. Here Krishna is behaving like a
Gita Acharya not a Guru. Otherwise, he would have realized that Arjuna might
not be ready to take this lesson. But maybe he is “leaning” forward and giving
Arjuna something he can grow into. I would like to think it is the latter. All
of us have to “believe” in the higher possibilities in life. Trust and Belief
in the other person’s capabilities would unlock some much of world’s potential
and help the world become a better place.
