Chapter 13<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 13 verse 15<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n avibhakta\u1e41 ca bh\u016bte\u1e63u ‘Undivided among beings, it abides as divided.’<\/p>\n By its intrinsic property of \u2018knower,\u2019 it is void of divisions, abiding everywhere among creatures, deva, man etc. But to (spiritually) unwise people, it appears divided as: \u2018This is deva\u2019; \u2018This is man\u2019 etc.<\/p>\n From what is said in the Stanza: \u2018He who knows this etc.,\u2019 (Gi:<\/em> XIII-1<\/a>), it is understood that the soul being \u2018knower,\u2019 it is possible to comprehend it as an entity separate from the body, though in expressions like: \u2018I am deva,\u2019 \u2018I am man\u2019 etc., it (soul = I) is always comprehended with reference to the body (its cloak). And now it will be shown how to comprehend it as a distinct entity, in other ways:<\/p>\n ‘And as supporter of elements it is to be known; as devourer and as causer.’<\/span><\/p>\n Inasmuch as it supports or holds together the combination of the elements, earth etc., known as body, it is to be known or is capable of being known as the \u2018supporter,\u2019 as contradistinguished from the \u2018supported (body).\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Similarly, it is grasish\u1e47u<\/em>=devourer of material elements such as food. And therefore it is capable of being comprehended as the \u2018devourer,\u2019 as contradistinguished from the \u2018devoured articles.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n And prabhavishnu<\/em>=causer or cause of transformations such as devoured food undergoes, and hence \u2018causer\u2019 of transformations may be inferred from the transformations of food effected.<\/span><\/p>\n Inasmuch as no such properties are discovered in a dead body, it is concluded that mere matter-combined Kshetra<\/em> is incapable of being the \u2018supporter,\u2019 the \u2018devourer or \u2018causer.\u2019 (Hence soul is to be inferred as such).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 13 verse 17<\/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 13 << Chapter 13 verse 15 Simple avibhakta\u1e41 ca bh\u016bte\u1e63u vibhaktam iva ca sthitam bh\u016bta-bhart\u1e5b ca taj j\u00f1eya\u1e41 grasi\u1e63\u1e47u prabhavi\u1e63\u1e47u ca ‘Undivided among beings, it abides as divided.’ By its intrinsic property of \u2018knower,\u2019 it is void of divisions, abiding everywhere among creatures, deva, … 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":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-13"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5468","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=5468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
