(198) Amrityuh –One who knows no decay Birth, growth, decay, disease

and death, are the five great modifications through which every finite

objects must necessarily pass. Everything born must perish. The one

who has no birth has no death. The waves die but not the ocean. That

which is Changeless in the changing whirls of matter is the Infinite

Vishnu. In the Bhagavad Geeta, the Lord is emphatic: " He who sees the

Changeless amidst the changing names and forms, He alone sees the

meaning and purpose of life. "
