Gita reflection Ch 13 verses 28 & 29

2nd October 2024


Even though nothing is possible in the world without the combination of matter and sentiency, a seeker should continuously strive to discern the Self that is present in all matter.

What is the nature of sentiency? Is it only consciousness? It is Existence and Consciousness in all living beings, and pure 'Existence' in all inert things as well, which is the same in all.

One who perceives this common presence is the true 'Seer!' He who does not clearly see this and disregards the Self is, in essence, harming oneself!

Here, 'harming' implies that one will suffer endless sorrows through constant birth and death, as well as being afflicted by the results of actions performed to appease the senses and the mind.
