Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 20

"Na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchin
Nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ
Ajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato ’yaṁ purāṇo
Na hanyate hanyamāne śharīre"

Translation in English:

"The soul is never born and never dies; nor does it ever become, having once existed, it will never cease to be. The soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain."

Meaning in Hindi:

"आत्मा कभी न जन्मता है और न मरता है; न वह कभी होता है और न कभी नहीं होता है। वह अजन्मा, नित्य, शाश्वत, पुराणा है। शरीर की हत्या होने पर भी वह नष्ट नहीं होता।"

In this profound verse, Lord Krishna reveals the eternal nature of the soul. He says that the soul is neither born nor dies. It never arises or ceases to exist. The soul is beyond the cycle of birth and death. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primordial. Lord Krishna emphasizes the timeless existence of the soul which transcends the boundaries of time and space. The soul is not destroyed when the physical body is destroyed. It remains unchanged and continues its eternal journey. 

 



  This verse gives a deep understanding of the nature of the soul. It teaches us that our true self is eternal and indestructible. Our physical body may experience birth and death, but the essence of who we are, the soul, remains unchanging and eternal. 

 


 By recognizing the immortal nature of the soul, we can develop a sense of detachment from the temporary nature of the physical world. We can find comfort in realizing that our true identity lies beyond the temporary experiences and challenges of life.  

 

 Lord Krishna's teachings in this verse encourage us to seek a deeper connection with our eternal nature and to live in harmony with our true nature. Understanding the eternal nature of the soul helps us overcome  the cycles of fear, attachment and birth and death, leading to spiritual growth and ultimate liberation.

Important Jain Concepts Dravya, Pramana, Soul, and Karma

Jainism, one of the oldest religions that began in ancient India, gives deep insights about existence, ethics and spirituality. Fundamental ideas of Jain philosophy include Dravya (substance), Pramana (valid knowledge), Soul (Jiva) and Karma (action and its consequences). This inclusive examination will look into each of these pivotal concepts in Jain religion by clarifying their meanings, importance as well as implications for personal transformation and spiritual growth.

Dravya: The Essence of Existence In Jainism, Dravya signifies the basic substances or categories of reality that make up the universe. According to Jain philosophy, there are six eternal substances which never change; they are known as Dravyas:

  • Jiva (Soul): The sentient conscious being that has individual consciousness and undergoes birth, death, rebirth (samsara).
  • Ajiva (Non-living): The non-sentient inactive entities that exist together with souls but serve as their backdrop in order to make them experience life. Ajive is inclusive of matter (Pudgala), space(Akasha), time(Kala) and motion(Dharma).
  • Pudgala (Matter): Pudgala is a physical world’s material substance made up of atoms, molecules and all solid objects that one can touch. Pudgala has attributes which include; color, taste, smell and touch.
  • Akasha (Space): The space without boundaries between objects in the universe. Akasha enables matter and souls to exist or move about.
  • Kala (Time): Time is an everlasting dimension that never changes and determines the order of events as they happen in life. Time is a continuous flow with moments like past, present and future.
  • Dharma (Motion): Dharma refers to a natural impulse or force that causes objects or entities to move within the universe, interacting with each other. It makes reality dynamic by ensuring a constant change of existence.
  • To understand Jainism worldview it is important to comprehend Dravya– its essence lies in seeing everything around as interconnected whole that cannot be separated from one another. By understanding how Dravyas are interconnected Jains learn to acknowledge the sacredness of existence and reduce violence in their relationships with the world.
