Quote of the Week

"One who knows Him to be indestructible, everlasting, unborn, undying, how can that man O Partha slay or cause anyone else to slay?"

Bhagavad-Gita 2.21

Commentary: The fundamental nature of God and all that exists is immortality. We are never born, nor do we ever die, we simply transition in and out of various states of being. Birth in this sense is like an actor getting the chance to play a different character in a new play or movie; death likewise is the actor transitioning from his current role into a new one. Another analogy would be like one changing into a bathing suit to attend a pool party, then into a casual evening wear for a dinner party. Even though we change from one body suit body to another according to the life circumstances we wish to experience, we remain our immortal Selves, unaffected by the apparent superficial bodily changes.

Quote of the Week

"He is never born, nor does He ever die; Nor having once been does He cease to be. Unborn, eternal, everlasting, ancient, He is not slain when the body is slain."

Bhagavad-Gita 2.20

Commentary: The nature of God is that He is unborn, which means His existence was prior to time, and will continue even after time is gone. In fact, He is the Creator of time, space and everything that exists in Creation. He is transcendent to creation and is therefore not subject to its effects.. He simply is, or as He Himself expressed it to Moses in the Bible (Exodus 3:14): "I am that I am." He is ancient, eternal, everlasting, and therefore unchangeable. And because we and all of creation are His progeny, we too have inherited all His characteristics, going forward from our own birth or creation. We, at our spiritual core, are immortal and do not die when our bodies are slain. Our bodies too are immortal in the sense that they are like the characters in a virtual reality game, that "live and die" an infinite number of times. Understanding our spiritual nature is essential to knowing our true identity, which in turn allows us to live a less stressful, less fearful. and more abundant life of freedom.
