Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 24

In this verse, Lord Krishna describes the inherent qualities of the individual soul (jivatma). He explains the eternal, unbreakable and unchanging nature of the soul, emphasizing its divine qualities. 




 Lord Krishna says that the soul is imperishable and indestructible. It cannot be crushed, burned or dried. The soul is beyond the influence of the physical elements and remains unchanged by earthly conditions.  He further emphasizes that the soul is eternal, exists forever and transcends the boundaries of time and space. It is omnipresent and pervades all creatures and beings. The soul is unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. 


  This verse emphasizes the divinity and holiness of the individual soul. It teaches us that our true being is beyond the perishable body and mind. The soul is the eternal, unchanging aspect of our being that connects us to the divine.  
 Understanding the eternal nature of the soul helps us gain a broader perspective on life. It reminds us that our temporary experiences and material possessions are fleeting, while the  journey of the soul is eternal. This insight encourages us to prioritize spiritual growth and seek connection with the divine. 

 The teachings of Lord Krishna in this verse inspire us to recognize the eternal soul in ourselves and others. It encourages us to embrace our divine nature, develop inner strength and strive for spiritual fulfillment. Anchoring in the consciousness of the eternal soul, we can find lasting peace, joy and fulfillment.
