Chapter 15<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 15 verse 15<\/a><\/p>\n dhvAvimau purushau lOkE ksharaS chAkshara Eva cha |<\/em> lOkE – in SAsthram (sacred texts) In Sasthram (sacred texts), two types of souls viz kshara – badhdha jIvAthmAs (bound souls – those who are with destructible material body) and akshara – muktha jIvAthmAs (liberated souls – those who are with indestructible spiritual body) are well known; all bound souls are known as kshara purusha. akshara purusha is known as mukthAthmAs (who have no material connection).<\/p>\n ‘Twofold are the souls in the world, the Kshara and the Akshara; the Kshara is the sum of all (bound) beings, Akshara is the Constant.’<\/span><\/p>\n Two kinds of souls are known in this world, the Kshara (Perishable) and the Akshara (Imperishable).<\/span><\/p>\n The soul designated by the term kshara<\/em> is that which may be called J\u012bva or the sum of matter-tied creatures from Brahm\u0101 down to the blade of grass, all of momentarily enduring existences. The singular term \u2018soul\u2019 is to denote the totality of all creatures by the fact of all of them being subjected to the one common condition of being matter-wedded.<\/span><\/p>\n By the term Akshara<\/em>, the Constant<\/em>, the Imperishable or the freed soul, as detached from matter\u2019s connections and as found in its own essential nature is denoted. It is called Constant (k\u016btastha<\/em>) inasmuch as when it is exempted from matter no connection with such bodies as those of Brahm\u0101 etc, \u2014which are but modifications of matter-stuff\u2014 is formed. The singular case of this term also, viz., k\u016btastha<\/em> is because it is a collective term denoting the totality of all those souls whose one common characteristic has come to be that of being matter-free. It does not therefore mean that there is but a single liberated (mukta<\/em>) soul; for that of such there are innumerable, declare such passages as: ‘Many are they who purified by wisdom-meditation, have come to My state.’ (Gi:<\/em> IV-10<\/a>). \u2018(They) are neither born at creation nor suffer at dissolution\u2019 (Gi:<\/em> XIV-2<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 15 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 15 << Chapter 15 verse 15 SlOkam \u2013 Original dhvAvimau purushau lOkE ksharaS chAkshara Eva cha | kshara: sarvANi bhUthAni kUtasthO\u2019kshara uchyathE || word-by-word meaning lOkE – in SAsthram (sacred texts) kshara: cha akshara: cha dhvau imau purushau Eva – two types of souls … 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":[8,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-15","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6266","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=6266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15949,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6266\/revisions\/15949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
