Bhagavad Gita 13.24
Sanskrit
य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणैःसह।सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते।।13.24।।
Transliteration
ya evaṁ vetti puruṣhaṁ prakṛitiṁ cha guṇaiḥ saha sarvathā vartamāno ’pi na sa bhūyo ’bhijāyate
Word by Word
When you truly understand that the Purusha—your eternal Self—is utterly distinct from Prakriti and its three gunas, you cease identifying with the dance of nature's qualities. This wisdom is not intellectual grasping but lived recognition: you see the body, mind, and emotions moving through their patterns while you remain the unchanging witness.
This single realization breaks the cycle of rebirth, for what takes birth is only what identifies with becoming; the Self that knows it all was never born and cannot be born again. In our modern rush, this verse invites you to step back from the exhausting effort to control your circumstances and simply recognize the boundless consciousness you actually are.
