Bhagavad Gita 2.30
Sanskrit
देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत। तस्मात्सर्वाणि भूतानि न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि।।2.30।।
Transliteration
dehī nityam avadhyo ’yaṁ dehe sarvasya bhārata tasmāt sarvāṇi bhūtāni na tvaṁ śhochitum arhasi
हिंदी अर्थ
यह आत्मा कभी नष्ट नहीं हो सकती, वह शरीर में हमेशा अमर रहती है, इसलिए सभी प्राणियों के लिए शोक करना सही नहीं है। आत्मा शरीर को बदलती है लेकिन स्वयं कभी मरती नहीं, तो तुम किसी की मृत्यु पर दुःख क्यों करते हो।
Word by Word
The atman—the eternal witness within each body—cannot be destroyed by any weapon or circumstance; it is immortal by nature, untouched by the mortality of flesh. This is not mere philosophy but the direct realization that what you truly are transcends birth and death entirely.
When you remember this truth about yourself and all beings, grief loses its grip because you recognize that nothing essential is ever lost. In our modern confusion about identity and loss, this verse invites us to stop anchoring our sense of self in the temporary and to wake up to what endures.
