Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 12<\/a><\/p>\n dhEhino ‘smin yathA dhEhE kaumAram yauvanam jarA |<\/em> asmin dhEhE – (that which resides) in this body Just like how the AthmA (soul) (that which resides) in this body goes through childhood, youth and old-age, in the same manner, the soul will beget another body (once this body is given up). The one who is wise does not get bewildered in this transmigration of soul.<\/p>\n As are childhood, youth and senility in this<\/em> body, so is translation to other<\/em> bodies. No wise man[1. Dh\u012bra<\/em> is translated as wise man<\/em> from the root ‘dhiy\u0101 ramante<\/em>‘.] errs (or gets deluded) in that.<\/span><\/p>\n As, dwelling in a single body itself, the dweller (\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>) does not grieve at the transition taking place from infancy to youth etc., believing that in that transition the \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> is in any way lost (i.e., affected), so no man who is wise will, similarly, regret at having to pass from one body to another, knowing that (as is the case in the single body) \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> ever endures.<\/span><\/p>\n What practically one has to do (in these circumstances) is this: \u0100tm\u0101s<\/em> are eternal. Bound down by deeds (karma<\/em>[2. Karma<\/em> is either past deeds or present work. Done with motive, it binds; motiveless, leaves one free.]) done in the eternal past, they incarnate in bodies such as are determined[3. This is reaping what is sown<\/em>.] by karma<\/em>; with these very bodies, they have to work out liberation from bondage by engaging in Sastra-sanctioned works (karma<\/em>) such as undertaking a war etc., appropriate to the (several) castes (in which they may find themselves born), but performing them with no desire for the ultimate fruit thereof.<\/span><\/p>\n To men who are so environed, the experiences of pleasure and pain are unavoidable, inasmuch as they are the product of \u2018colds and heats\u2019[4. The sense-contacts with external phenomena is sensations which are the sense-with-mind-contacts, ‘cold-heat’, etc., and then follow the reactions, pleasures and pains.] which the senses sensate by coming in contact with external objects. Hence one needs to tolerate such experiences happening to one during the prosecution, and until termination, of any work undertaken.<\/span><\/p>\n This is explained in the following verse.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 14<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 2 << Chapter 2 verse 12 SlOkam \u2013 Original dhEhino ‘smin yathA dhEhE kaumAram yauvanam jarA | thathA dhEhAnthara prApthir dhIras tathra na muhyathi || word-by-word meaning asmin dhEhE – (that which resides) in this body dhEhina: – for the AthmA (soul) kaumAram – … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-2","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
