THEME (2.29): Krishna says that the idea that there is no distinct soul is merely the creation of groping philosophers whose insufficient minds are bewildered by the imperceptible and amazing soul

Some look on the soul as amazing
Some describe him as amazing
Some hear of him as amazing
Others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all

Learnings from Purport 2.29

1. Different types of people who misunderstand the soul and find it amazing

Those who find this fact too amazing that the same soul in magnitude and quality is the cause of varieties of species (Biggest to the smallest)
Those who are too engrossed in gross material conception and sense gratification
> Subject of soul is too subtle to be understood by men with a poor fund of knowledge and who are not austere
Some who accept the soul but
> Misguided as acceptance of the Supersoul and atomic soul to be equal in magnitude

2. Easiest Process of Understanding the Soul

Accept Bhagavad-gita as given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
It requires great penance and sacrifice to accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Only possible way is – by the causeless mercy of a devotee

1. Unnecessary violence is not encouraged – Cycle of birth and death does not support unnecessary slaughter, murder and war

2. But violence is an inevitable factor – But at the same time, violence and war are inevitable factors for law and order (e.g. Battle of Kurukshetra is an inevitable event by will of Supreme).

THEME : Death generates no loss, irrespective of the philosophy followed; therefore there is no cause of lamentation

All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning
They are manifest in the interim state
They become unmanifest again when annihilated

Learnings from Purport 2.28

1. Srila Prabhupada establishes that the loss of body is never a cause of lamentation

Whether you accept the existence of the soul or not

2. If you do not accept soul

Then the body changes from unmanifest to manifest to unmanifest
Conservation of energy and matter is maintained – thus there is no reason to lament
> Analogy: Skyscraper – (study purport – skyscraper manifests from earth and goes back into
the earth)

Analogy: Then the body is like a dress

5. How does this verse help Arjuna to overcome lamentation and material compassion

COMMON THEME: Mentions more qualities of the soul

These verses reiterate a principle Krishna has already established. Generally repetition is considered proper in Sanskrit literature only when used for emphasis. Krishna thus repeats Himself to remove all doubts about the soul’s eternality.

COMMON THEME: The individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole

1. The soul is unbreakable and insoluble (2.24)

Can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor moistened by water (2.23)

2. Soul can neither be burned nor dried (2.24)

Nor burned by fire, nor withered by the wind (2.23)

3. Soul is eternally the same – He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable (2.24)

Learnings from Purport 2.23

1. Different kinds of weapons none of which can affect the soul

Made of earth, water, fire, air, ether etc
Example of fire weapons – Nuclear weapons

2. Failure of Mayavadi’s to explain the following points – They cannot explain:

How the individual soul came into existence simply by ignorance
How the individual soul got separated from the original Supreme Soul

3. Correct understanding of the position of the soul:

The individual soul is eternally a separated part of the Supreme Soul
Being atomic individual souls eternally, they are prone to be influenced by illusory energy
Thus they become separated from the Supreme Lord
o Analogy: Just like sparks of a fire, although one in quality of the fire are prone to be extinguished when out of the fire.
Ref. Varaha Purana – Living entities are eternally separated parts and parcels

4. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Applying this philosophy to Arjuna’s case – Arjuna became liberated by the knowledge received by Krishna, but he never became one with Krishna.

Learnings from Purport 2.24

1. What is established by the qualities given in this verse

Individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole
He remains the same atom eternally, without change

2. This verse refutes the monistic theory (Mayavada)

Spirit soul is insoluble – Thus can never merge into Impersonal Brahman but always remains unchangeable, eternal individual.
What about impersonal liberation – The atomic soul may prefer to remain as a spiritual spark in Brahmajyoti.
Destiny of intelligent souls – They enter the spiritual planets to associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

3. Importance of the word ‘Sarva-gatah’ – All-pervading

This is significant because the living entities are present all over God’s creation
They are present in water, air, land or even in fire
Practical application:
o Sterilization by fire is refuted here, because the soul cannot be burned by fire
o Living entities are also present in the sun with suitable bodies

THEME: Further qualities of the soul – Soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable.

Learnings from Purport 2.25

1. Soul as invisible – The soul is too small to be seen even by the most powerful microscope

2. Soul as inconceivable –

No-one can establish the existence of the soul by human experimental efforts
Only source of understanding is the proof by ‘sruti’ (Vedic wisdom)
o Example of understandings based solely on superior authorities and beyond the capacity of experiment
▪ To know the existence of one’s father based on the authority of the mother

3. Soul as immutable – This establishes the stability of the conception of the soul

Never changes like matter – Unlike body which goes through six changes
Never becomes God – The soul always remains atomic to the infinite Supreme

THEME: Bauddha-vada – Even if you reject the soul, still there is no cause for lamentation; Krishna addresses Arjuna as ‘Maha-bahu’.

Thus this verse helps to dispel the lamentation based on the illusory bodily concept of life

Learnings from Purport 2.27

1. Unnecessary violence is not encouraged – Cycle of birth and death does not support unnecessary slaughter, murder and war

2. But violence is an inevitable factor – But at the same time, violence and war are inevitable factors for law and order (e.g. Battle of Kurukshetra is an inevitable event by will of Supreme).

3. Practical Application: Applying this philosophy to Arjuna’s case

No need to fear the death of relatives because fighting was his proper duty as a ksatriya.
No need to fear sinful reactions because He did not deserve to break the law; He was simply carrying out the will of the Supreme.

THEME : Death generates no loss, irrespective of the philosophy followed; therefore there is no cause of lamentation

All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning
They are manifest in the interim state
They become unmanifest again when annihilated

Learnings from Purport 2.28

1. Srila Prabhupada establishes that the loss of body is never a cause of lamentation

Whether you accept the existence of the soul or not

2. If you do not accept soul

Then the body changes from unmanifest to manifest to unmanifest
Conservation of energy and matter is maintained – thus there is no reason to lament
> Analogy: Skyscraper – (study purport – skyscraper manifests from earth and goes back into
the earth)

3. If you accept soul

Analogy: Then the body is like a dress
> Or like a dream (e.g. flying in the sky or sitting on the chariot as a king)
> Nobody laments for the change of dress or situations of a dream

4. Vedic wisdom – encourages self-realization on the basis of non-existence of the material body

Some look on the soul as amazing
Some describe him as amazing
Some hear of him as amazing
Others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all

Learnings from Purport 2.29

1. Different types of people who misunderstand the soul and find it amazing

Those who find this fact too amazing that the same soul in magnitude and quality is the cause of varieties of species (Biggest to the smallest)
Those who are too engrossed in gross material conception and sense gratification
> Subject of soul is too subtle to be understood by men with a poor fund of knowledge and who are not austere
Some who accept the soul but
> Misguided as acceptance of the Supersoul and atomic soul to be equal in magnitude

2. Easiest Process of Understanding the Soul

Accept Bhagavad-gita as given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
It requires great penance and sacrifice to accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Only possible way is – by the causeless mercy of a devotee

THEME : Conclusion of Jnana section (2.11 – 2.30) – Factually soul is the indestructible living entity within the body, therefore there is no need of lamentation.

Learnings from Purport 2.30

1. Purport to this verse summarizes all the verses in the ‘Jnana’ section (2.11 – 2.30) in four points:

Identity of living entity – Living entity is an immutable spirit soul
Soul vs Body – Soul is immortal and body is temporary
Immortality does not encourage whimsical violence
Justified violence – Violence must be justified in terms of sanction of the Lord and not capriciously

2. Practical application for Arjuna

As a ksatriya he should not abandon his prescribed duties out of fear that his grandfather and teacher will die in the battle.

5. How does this verse help Arjuna to overcome lamentation and material compassion

COMMON THEME: Mentions more qualities of the soul

These verses reiterate a principle Krishna has already established. Generally repetition is considered proper in Sanskrit literature only when used for emphasis. Krishna thus repeats Himself to remove all doubts about the soul’s eternality.

COMMON THEME: The individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole

1. The soul is unbreakable and insoluble (2.24)

Can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor moistened by water (2.23)

2. Soul can neither be burned nor dried (2.24)

Nor burned by fire, nor withered by the wind (2.23)

3. Soul is eternally the same – He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable (2.24)

Learnings from Purport 2.23

1. Different kinds of weapons none of which can affect the soul

Made of earth, water, fire, air, ether etc
Example of fire weapons – Nuclear weapons

2. Failure of Mayavadi’s to explain the following points – They cannot explain:

How the individual soul came into existence simply by ignorance
How the individual soul got separated from the original Supreme Soul

3. Correct understanding of the position of the soul:

The individual soul is eternally a separated part of the Supreme Soul
Being atomic individual souls eternally, they are prone to be influenced by illusory energy
Thus they become separated from the Supreme Lord
o Analogy: Just like sparks of a fire, although one in quality of the fire are prone to be extinguished when out of the fire.
Ref. Varaha Purana – Living entities are eternally separated parts and parcels

4. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Applying this philosophy to Arjuna’s case – Arjuna became liberated by the knowledge received by Krishna, but he never became one with Krishna.

Learnings from Purport 2.24

1. What is established by the qualities given in this verse

Individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole
He remains the same atom eternally, without change

2. This verse refutes the monistic theory (Mayavada)

Spirit soul is insoluble – Thus can never merge into Impersonal Brahman but always remains unchangeable, eternal individual.
What about impersonal liberation – The atomic soul may prefer to remain as a spiritual spark in Brahmajyoti.
Destiny of intelligent souls – They enter the spiritual planets to associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

3. Importance of the word ‘Sarva-gatah’ – All-pervading

This is significant because the living entities are present all over God’s creation
They are present in water, air, land or even in fire
Practical application:
o Sterilization by fire is refuted here, because the soul cannot be burned by fire
o Living entities are also present in the sun with suitable bodies

THEME: Further qualities of the soul – Soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable.

Learnings from Purport 2.25

1. Soul as invisible – The soul is too small to be seen even by the most powerful microscope

2. Soul as inconceivable –

No-one can establish the existence of the soul by human experimental efforts
Only source of understanding is the proof by ‘sruti’ (Vedic wisdom)
o Example of understandings based solely on superior authorities and beyond the capacity of experiment
▪ To know the existence of one’s father based on the authority of the mother

3. Soul as immutable – This establishes the stability of the conception of the soul

Never changes like matter – Unlike body which goes through six changes
Never becomes God – The soul always remains atomic to the infinite Supreme

THEME: Bauddha-vada – Even if you reject the soul, still there is no cause for lamentation; Krishna addresses Arjuna as ‘Maha-bahu’.

Learnings from Purport 2.26

1. History – This verse indicates that such philosophers existed even at the time when Krishna spoke Bhagavad-gita

2. Examples of philosophies in this category

Buddhists
Lokayatika’s & Vaibhasikas – They maintain that life symptoms take place at a certain mature condition of material combination
Modern material scientists and materialist philosophers – They think the body is a combination of physical elements and life symptoms develop at a certain stage by interaction of physical and chemical elements.
Science of Anthropology
Many pseudo-religions fashionable currently and nihilistic non devotional Buddhists sects

3. How does this verse help Arjuna to overcome lamentation and material compassion

No lamentation for loss of chemicals e.g. modern scientific warfare
Also if there is no rebirth, there is no fear of sinful reactions

4. Significance of ‘Maha–Bahu’ – Sarcasm to Arjuna, such philosophy is not expected from an Aryan because such philosophies leave aside Vedic wisdom.

Jñāna (ज्ञान)— FIGHT! (2.21 – 2.30)

THEME : The soul is never killed

How can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to kill.

Please Note : All points of the purport are covered in the ‘Summarised Theme 2D’ below

SUMMARISED THEME 2D
DOES THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL RECOMMEND VIOLENCE? “NO!”

– Ref. Vedic Injunction (2.19 Purport) “Ma himsyat…” – Never commit violence to any living entity

Killing the body of anyone without authority is abominable and is punishable by the law of the state as well as the law of the Lord.
Violence has proper utility under authority (2.21 Purport) – No sinful reaction.

A man situated in complete knowledge knows how and where to apply a thing for its proper utility.

Justice of Peace – Ref. Manu Samhita (for details study 2.21 purport)
Surgeons knife – Proper use can save one’s life (for details study 2.21 purport)

He was killing for the principle of religion, not whimsically
When Krishna orders violence, it is for Supreme justice
For administration of justice, so-called violence is permitted because anyway the soul cannot be killed

THEME: Krishna gives an analogy: For the soul, death is simply a change of clothes.

Rebukes Arjuna’s lamentation that Bhishma and Drona will lose their current bodies, which are the source of enjoyment – Krishna establishes that they will get fresh bodies.

Learnings from Purport 2.22

1. Opinion of modern scientist on change of body

They accept the continuous changes of the body which appears from boyhood to childhood to youth to old age
They accept the heart as the source of all energies, and we also say that the soul is present in the region of the heart

2. How transference of atomic soul to another body is made possible

Grace – By the grace of the Supersoul
Desires and past deeds – Supersoul fulfils the desires of the soul like a friend
Supporting References – Soul and Supersoul are compared to two friendly birds sitting on the same tree (Ref. Mundaka and Svetasvatara Upanisads)

3. Cause of changing bodies

Forgetfulness of servant-master relationship by the atomic soul with the Supersoul

4. Analogy of two birds explained

One of the birds (atomic soul) – is captivated and eating the fruits of the tree
Other bird (Krishna) – simply witnesses the activities of his friend (atomic soul)
Although they are friends one is still the master (Krishna as Supersoul) and the other is servant (atomic soul)
How to become free from all lamentations – By voluntary surrender unto the master bird or unto Krishna, the Supreme spiritual master
o If somehow one turns his face to Krishna and knows His glories, at once he becomes free from all anxieties

5. How does this verse help Arjuna to overcome lamentation and material compassion

Arjuna should be happy to kill the bodies of grandfather and teacher in a righteous fight so that they can be cleansed of all reactions and get fresh bodies (fresh garments).
One who lays down his life on the sacrificial alter or in the proper battlefield, is at once cleansed of bodily reactions and promoted to a higher status.
