At this Arjuna took it up, came somewhat to his senses, and prayed, “Kṛṣṇa! You may be God. You may be beyond destruction. But my weeping is not for You, is it! Tell me about us, who are born yesterday, are here today and die tomorrow.” Here one must observe carefully. God, the referent of “Tat”, is “eternal”, and all the rest that exists is the referent of “Tvam”. “The referent of Tvam is also eternal.” But common people cannot so quickly grasp what “eternal” means. So Kṛṣṇa Paramātma took up this matter: “Brother-in-law! You too are eternal. Though the referents of “Tat” and “Tvam” appear limited, when seen with the upādhi set aside, the two are one. Just as there is gold before the ornament, gold in the ornament, and gold still when the ornament is broken up, so the Ātma, whose form is Cit, does not come with bodies and does not go with bodies.” So He taught Arjuna.
