Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 28 & 29

25th August 2024


Vyasa provides a beautiful illustration to describe how individual souls enter the cosmic form at the time of dissolution. 

"As the water currents of the rivers rush only towards the sea, so too the human warriors entered into the blazing mouth of the cosmic form." This illustrates the inevitable end of everything created by the Lord.

Another illustration is given to show how all souls, without aspiring for liberation (the highest human goal), engage in the world only for self-destruction. 

"As the moths mindlessly enter hastily into the blazing fire, so too the creatures enter the mouth of the cosmic form to lose their individual names and forms."
