The Song of God

Dear friends…

This morning we will join marvelous being Arjuna  in his discussion with his teacher Krishna.

The Song of God  - Bahavagad Gita was described by Ouspensky as one of the most esoteric scriptures he came across.

It moved me deeply and continues to feed me.

Love,

“Sri Krishna:

Your words are wise, Arjuna, but your sorrow is for nothing. The truly wise mourn neither for the living nor for the dead…

Some say this Atman

Is slain, and others call it the slayer:

They know nothing.

How can it slay

Or who shall slay it?

Know this Atman

Unborn, undying

Never ceasing,

Never beginning,

Deathless, birthless,

Unchanging for ever.

How can it die

The death of the body?

Knowing it birthless,

Knowing it deathless,

Knowing it endless,

For ever unchanging,

Dream not you do

The deed of the killer,

Dream not the power

Is yours to command it

Worn out garments

Are shed by the body;

Worn out bodies

Are shed by the dweller

within the body.

New bodies are donned

By the dweller, like garments.

Not wounded by weapons,

Not burned by fire,

Not dried by the wind,

Not wetted by water;

Such is the Atman,

Not dried, not wetted,

Not burned, not wounded,

Innermost element,

Everywhere, always

Being of beings,

Changeless, eternal,

For ever and ever.”
