SELF IS INDESTRUCTIBLE

Conception, embryo state, birth, child hood, boyhood, youth, middle age, decay and death these are nine states of embodiment. Owing to attachment and identification with three modes of material nature goodness, passion and ignorance eternal Self Soul assumes these imaginary states, high or low belonging clearly to something else.

If one tries to analyze the real aspect then one can find that it is eternal Supreme Self Lord Krishna who divided his divine nature in two parts. One is material nature and other is eternal nature.

Identification of eternal nature with material nature consisting of three modes is the cause of creation, maintenance and destruction of all creations.

Lord Krishna says in chapter two of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:

Antwant ime deha nityasyoktah sharirirhah I
Anashinoaperamaysya tasmatyudhasav bharat II (2.18)

All these bodies pertaining to imperishable, indefinable and eternal soul are spoken of, as perishable, therefore, Arjun, so you go for fight.

All beings coming into existence are outcome of effect of three qualities of nature.

The bodies coming into existence and departing as per the dictates of these qualities and attributed to imperishable, eternal and indefinable self soul are destructible, so they are always a dead without soul.

Lord Krishna is advising Arjun to fight as the relatives whom he does not want to fight with, are being identified by Arjun as bodies of particular persons, not the spirit, soul, self, which is part and parcel of that indestructible Supreme Self.

Through imperishable march of time creatures are being continually born and dying. But this is not observed because of tits subtlety.

Ya enam veti hantaram yashchmanyate manyate hatam I

Ubho tao na vijanito nayam hanti na hanyate II (19)


He who knows that the soul to be capable of killing and who takes it as having been killed, they both are ignorant; for verily the soul neither kills nor is killed.

Soul is eternal and blissful. But as it attaches itself to material nature in form of embodiment, its manifestation account starts operating. Due to identification of self with the body, as own self, the soul goes on migrating from one body to other.

When it leaves one body and enters another on account of its attachment with reactions of past deeds, the eternal self remains the same self.

A true reflection of Supreme Self, all empowered divine and full of wisdom.

Whenever it happens to realize its true self, it is liberated.

Bondage was not real but it was there because of attachment.
Self soul is neither capable of killing nor it is ever killed but it departs from one body to enter another with the fruits of past deeds exhausting and body being left forcibly.

What is this all?

One should try to grasp the fact.

Self soul is incapable of doing anything at its own. It is an eternal bliss. When it remained in the service of Supreme Self, it opted to assert its own poweress. It found attractive material nature like a beautiful woman inviting a handsome boy. It then started building its own castles with evolutes of material nature. Since then it has been playing monkey in the hands of material nature, causing pair of dualities, pleasure or pain, happiness and distress, cold and warm etc These have never affected the self soul which is awareness and consciousness. It is same in all beings. A personal embodied soul pretending to kill another only kills the body by depriving it of consciousness.
