PHRASES IN THE GITA - 93
स सर्वेषु भूतेषु नश्यत्सु न विनश्यति । (अध्याय ८ - श्लोक २०)
ஸ ஸர்வேஷு பூதேஷு நஶ்யத்ஸு ந விநஶ்யதி ... (அத்யாயம் 8 - ஶ்லோகம் 20)
Sa Sarveshu Bhooteshu Nashyatsu Na Vinashyathi ... (Chapter 8 - Shloka 20)
Meaning : That which remains even after all the lives are dead and destroyed , is Him ...
What is taste ? How do we know the taste of an edible thing ? We place it on our tongue , crush and grind it with our teeth and swallow and sent it into the stomach . Taste is that which remains on the tongue even after the snack disappears . Taste was in every particle of the eatable , but remained hidden . Taste is Form-less and can not be separated from the particle . But , when the eatable is crushed , swallowed , it disappears , but the taste remains on the tongue . It continues to remain even after the particles disappear .
What is Knowledge ? Books , Pens , Schools , Colleges , teachers , Libraries , Laboratories , Buildings , Examinations , etc . are essential to get educated and gain Knowledge . Education and Knowledge are impossible without these . But , how does one know the Knowledge he has earned ? Knowledge is that which remains after school days are over , college life is past , books , pens , examinations etc . have disappeared from his life , that which illumines his Inner self and guides him in his life , is the Knowledge for him . Knowledge is Formless , abstract . Knowledge is in books , pens , libraries , laboratories , teachers etc . but is hidden . It is pregnant in all these and it is that which remains as essence , as a guiding Light in him even after all these have disappeared .
What is Life ? The physical body , breathing , food , clothes , his actions , speech , his efforts at earling livelihood , instruments to help him in his efforts , vehicles ... and many such make his life .. These are regarded as life by many . but life is beyond all these . It is the essence which remains even after all these disappear , even after his physical body is also dead . That is one's life .
Shree Krishna describes Shri Paramaatman here . Every life was His creation . Every life sprung into manifested state by Him . He is Omni-present and is in every life . He is the Power vested by im in lives that made them work . (The Paramatman is not He or She . We may also call Him , 'It') All the lives dissolve in Him at the time of Pralaya or Deluge . That which remains even after all the Lives are destroyed m is Him . He is in manifested state when lives are created . He is in the form of Creation and lives in it . When lives disappear at the times of dissolution , He continues in un-manifested state . He Is . He is the Only that Exists .
