Having been (in the past), it cannot be that it is not<\/em> going to be (in the future). It is birthless (aja<\/em>), eternal (nitya<\/em>), constant (\u015b\u0101\u015bvata<\/em>), and ancient (pur\u0101\u1e47a<\/em>), and is never destroyed though the body be destroyed.\u2019[1. Cf. ‘Na j\u0101yate mriyate v\u0101 vipaschin-n\u0101yam kutaschin na babh\u016bva kaschit, ajo nitya\u015b \u015b\u0101\u015bvatoyam pur\u0101\u1e47o nahanyate hanyam\u0101ne \u015bar\u012bre.’ (Kat. Up. II-18).]<\/span><\/p>\n For reasons set forth, the characteristics which are natural to insentient (inert) bodies such as birth, death etc., do not pertain to \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, for it has no changes on account of its eternality. The bodily experiences known as birth and death do not affect \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, and hence the expressions \u201cit is not born, nor doth it die.\u201d It cannot be said that having been before<\/em> a kalpa<\/em>[2. Brahm\u0101’s age.], \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> is not going to be after<\/em> a kalpa<\/em>. Such births and deaths, at beginnings and ends of kalp\u0101s<\/em>, the \u0100gam\u0101s (Scriptures) say, as happening to Praj\u0101pati[3. The Lord of creatures, lit: meaning the four-faced Brahm\u0101 who is charged with the minor creations falling within the limits of a single globular system in the infinite kosmos, called brahm\u0101n\u1e0da (or Brahm\u0101’s egg).] and others, are with reference to their bodies, but do not affect \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u0100tm\u0101 <\/em>which pervades all bodies is therefore unborn (aja<\/em>); and therefore it is eternal and constant. These two terms denote that like matter (prak\u1e5biti<\/em>), even its incessant subtle (or insensible) changes (in the stage before manifestation as the visible kosmos) do not affect \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Pur\u0101\u1e47a (ancient): is etymologically pur\u0101pi navah<\/em>, meaning \u2018old, yet new\u2019; meaning that \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> is such that though ancient or old, it is experiencable (or enjoyable) ever as new.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence, though bodies may perish, never can perish \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 21<\/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 19 Simple na j\u0101yate mriyate v\u0101 kad\u0101cin n\u0101ya\u1e41 bh\u016btv\u0101 bhavit\u0101 v\u0101 na bh\u016bya\u1e25 ajo nitya\u1e25 \u015b\u0101\u015bvato \u2019ya\u1e41 pur\u0101\u1e47o na hanyate hanyam\u0101ne \u015bar\u012bre \u2018At no time is it (\u0101tm\u0101) born, nor doth it die.
