Krishna and Arjuna Going Into Battle

“No Matter Where They Walk It Leads To Me.”

“The original scriptures of most religions are poetical and unsystematic. Theology, which generally takes the form of a reasoned commentary on the parables and aphorisms of the scriptures, tends to make its appearance at a later stage of religious history. The Bhagavad-Gita occupies an intermediate position between scripture and theology; for it combines the poetical qualities of the first with the clear-cut methodicalness of the second. {The Gita is} one of the clearest and most comprehensive summaries of the Perennial Philosophy ever to have been made. Hence its enduring value, not only for Indians, but for all mankind.” ~Aldous Huxley

Bhagavad-Gita 2:22-24

“Worn-out garment

Are shed by the body:

Worn-out bodies

Are shed by the dweller

Within the body.

New bodies are donned

By the dweller, like garments.

__

Not wounded by weapons,

Not burned by fire,

Not dried by the wind,

Not wetted by water:

Such is the Atman,

__

Not dried, not wetted,

Not burned, not wounded,

Innermost element,

Everywhere, always,

Being of beings,

Changeless, eternal,

For ever and ever.”
