Bhagavad Gita 15.16 meaning
dvav imau purushau loke ksharash chakshara eva cha
ksharah sarvani bhootani kootasthokshara uchyate
द्वाविमौ पुरुषौ लोके क्षरश्चाक्षर एव च।
क्षरः सर्वाणि भूतानि कूटस्थोऽक्षर उच्यते॥
There are two kinds of beings in this world: the perishable and the imperishable. All living beings are perishable; the unchanging one is called imperishable.
What it means
Everything around us changes and fades, but something within stays unchanged. Seeing both clearly helps us hold passing things lightly while resting in what lasts.How it helps in real life
- In grief: Your favourite old office friends have all moved on. Cherish the memories lightly, and rest in the part of you that stays the same.
- With money: Your new iPhone already feels old next to the latest model. Hold gadgets lightly; they fade, so don't upgrade every year on EMI.
हिंदी में अर्थ
इस संसार में दो प्रकार के पुरुष हैं: नाशवान और अविनाशी। सभी प्राणी नाशवान हैं, और जो अटल रहता है, उसे अविनाशी कहते हैं।
हमारे आसपास सब बदलता और मिटता है, पर भीतर कुछ अटल रहता है। दोनों को साफ़ देखना हमें बदलने वाली चीज़ों को हल्के से थामना सिखाता है।
Spoken by Krishna.
