Bhagavad Gita

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita: Sankhya Yogam: Chapter 2: Verse 21

BG - Chapter 2 - Verse 21

Explanation

Shri Krishna is implying that “this,” the eternal essence (soul), does not act and is not affected by any action, in the same way, that electricity does not act. It gives material objects the ability to act without actually doing so. As a result, a sensible person will never believe that the eternal essence (soul) can kill, or act in any way. It’s similar to the sun, cause of all activity but yet untouched and unaffected by anything.

Verse & What We Can Learn

You are the birthless, changeless, everlasting, and imperishable essence (soul). The eternal essence neither kills nor is killed, and you are that not the body.

In the next verse, we will see Lord Krishna explaining the nature of the soul.
