Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Dear Sangha, I am going to post a quote from the Bhagavad Gita, translated by Swami Nikhilananda, Chapter 2, verses 27-30. I post these verses because the sages know that LIFE's nature is eternal. Nothing whatsoever exists except for LIFE and LIFE never dies. 2:27. For to that which is born, death is certain, and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore you should not grieve over the unavoidable. 2:28. All beings are unmanifest in their beginning, O Bharata, manifest in their middle state, and unmanifest again in their end. Why, then, lament for them? 2:29. Some look on the Self as a wonder; some speak of It as a wonder; some hear of It as a wonder; still others, though hearing, do not understand It at all. 2:30. The Self, which dwells in all bodies, can never be slain, O Bharata. Wherefore you should not mourn for any creature. michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes Tony, I agree, here is where you fit in to this. --- Tony OClery <aoclery wrote: SNIP > > Excellent I suggest you read it completely....You > will find the > answer to your questions about me and > others......ONS...Tony Yep. You're correct. Here's the answer. 2:29. Some look on the Self as a wonder; some speak of It as a wonder; some hear of It as a wonder; still others, though hearing, do not understand It at all.
