Sankhya Yoga
Chapter 2, Verse 26
atha cainaį¹ nitya jÄtam
nityaį¹ vÄ manyase mį¹tam
tathÄpi tvaį¹ mahÄbÄho
naivaį¹ Åocitum arhasi
Even if you think of the Self as being constantly subject to birth and death,
still, O mighty-armed, you should not grieve.
Here the Lord explains that the soul is not āsubject to birth and deathā, what dies is only the body. But you as the soul, you are eternal. He says, āDonāt grieve, My dear, because grieving makes you weak.ā Learn to accept this as the Will of God. And when you learn to accept life ā everything that happens in life as the Will of God, as a present from God ā then you will be free from grief.
Krishna says, āGrieve not, āO mighty-armedā.ā Again Krishna is addressing Arjuna as the, āmighty-armed,ā mahÄbÄho. He means, āYou are strong! You are not weak.
Donāt go into weakness.ā
Bhagavad Gita
