ETERNITY WITHIN YOU

There are two vital things to make this universe keep moving.

They are two in form.

1. Eternal Energy
2. Material Energy

Lord Krishna says in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta that these two are beginning less.

parkritam purusham chiv vidhianadi ubhavapi I

vikaranshch guranshch vidhi parkritisambhwan II

Parkriti and Purush know both these as beginning less. And all modifications such as likes and dislikes and all objects etc constituted of the three gunas as born of Parkriti.

Apart from Material Nature in form of three evolutes, there is another Superior Energy of Lord Krishna.

In chapter seven Lord Krishna has described two energies:



bhumiapoanlo vayu kham manoh bhudhirev ch I

ahankaram etiayam me bhinnah parkriti ashatdha II (7.4)

Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect, and ego are eight folded different type of my nature.


Lord unfolds eight types of his transient nature.

There are two types of nature of which self takes shape.

Unanimated and animate

But both are the shapes which the self itself has transformed into.

Lord Krishna unfolds eight types of his transient nature.

Earth, water, fire, air and ether along with mind set, intellect, and ego are unanimated nature of Lord Krishna.

These are not different from the self.

aparmayam itastuanyam parkritim vidhi me pram I

jeevbhutam mahabaho yayedsm dharyate jagat II (5)


Oh Mighty Armed! Another superior nature of mine is the individual soul nature whereby I create and hold this universe

The other nature is animated individual soul nature of the almighty self whereby this universe is created and sustained by self.

Now it is abundantly clear that self/supreme self divided itself in two forms to play with itself and enjoy with itself.

This not deliberation of seers or philosophy enunciated by some persons who have discovered something new and they formulating some fiction.




Material Nature is present in every aspect of life in form of three evolutes. Goodness, Passion and Ignorance.


karya karan kartitve hetur pakritiruchayae I

pursha sukh dukhanam bhoktritve heturuchayte II



purshah parkritstho hi bhunkte parikirtijan gurhan

karnam gurh sagoas sadasad yonijanamasuii (19-21)




Parkriti is said to be responsible for bringing forth the evolutes and the instruments; while the individual soul is said to be the enjoyer or sufferer having undergone the experience of joys and sorrows.

Only the Pursha seated in the Parkriti- sense objects- of the three gunas evolved from Parkriti and it is this contact with these three gunas that is responsible for the birth of this soul n good and bad wombs



Material illusion and Lord are so interred connected that it is not possible to differentiate them. Though they are said to be distinct from each other yet ordinarily a person cannot see the difference. Since the illusion is the power of all mighty himself, he cannot be seen different from it. But the nature is manifest and is visible and invisible too. All the manifestation, one see all around is nothing accept the illusion, nature, and manifestation of nature or its modification.
The Parkriti, the equilibrium of its gunas a in projection.
Of this universe, the Parkriti transforms into causes and effects, assumed through these gunas, the condition of such modification. But the Pursha, unmodified merely looks on.


Since the self is the source of every thing nature working in its direction, always is blissful and continues its play with the Parkriti. He is beyond the world, yet he holds the worlds by entering into them. He transcends time, becomes time. Being infinite, he shines as finite, even being formless assumes forms. He is one and single, he is neither held nor holder, these are all names

The self is the consciousness and it consists of consciousness alone.

This consciousness in creatures have never indulged in any of body’s action yet its identification with these acts, the resultant of the churning of three gunas of Parkriti put this Pursha in the circle of birth and death.

Those preaching against the very existence of God can say anything as to how it was that there birth occurred from the womb of particular mother, why the nears and dears to them died and could not be revived despite best medical aid available at the relevant time, what was the thing which departed from the body and why could not be retrieved?

But in these three verses from Holy Bhagwad Geeta, the cycle of birth and death has been explained.

The accumulation of past deeds decides nature of species.

Actually onlooker being the part and parcel of the same super consciousness has never been a subject of decay nor now it is, nor will it ever become so.

Embodiment decays whenever consciousness departs from it. The attachment or identification of self/soul./finite with the infinite is the root cause of incarnation again and again

updrashtaanumanta ch bharta bhokta maheshwra I

parmatam eti chapyiukto deheasminpurshah parah II



ya evam veti purasham parikriti ch gurhein sah i

sarvatha varatmano api sa na bhuyoabhijayte ii (13.22-23)





The spirit dwelling in this body is really the same as supreme. It has been spoken as witness, the true guide, the sustainer of all, experiencer [as is embodied overlord] and the absolute as well


He, who knows the Pursha and Parkriti with the gunas, even though performing his duties in usual manner, is never born again.

This is the knowledge which is the crux of this chapter whereby a seer can realize his own self.
That is why it is knowledge which discovers existing truth which is a sort of science of true nature of self.
