Gita Verse -Nov 2019

    About Death and Dying, Don’t worry!

    Just ignore Death

    वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय

    नवानि गृह्णन्ति नरो`पराणी

    तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णान्

    अन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही

     

    vâsânsi jîrṇâni yathâ vihâya

    navâni gŗḥṇâti naro’parâṇi

    tathâ ṥarîrâṇi vihâya jîrṇân

    anyâni samyâti navâni dehî  2.22

     

    People change clothes. People throw away old and torn clothes and get new ones. This is just the way you do with your body. Body comes and goes. Always think you are wearing the body like a cloth. You are not the body. You are different. Remember this truth always.

    When the body becomes old, or diseased, it is discarded and a new one comes. That is all.

    New life, new experience, new world.

    Give up the fear of death and dying.

    Death is just a change of the external cover.

    This is what Vedanta teaches us. To be strong.

    The only fear we have is the fear of extiniction. But nothing becomes extinct.
