Passage 19

On the Gītā: 13.8

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

“‘Janma mṛtyu jarā vyādhi duḥkha doṣānudarśana’. To know this is more important than anything else. It is a great wonder that people see the sorrow of birth, the sorrow of death and the sorrow of disease, and still do not set out to know their truth. Inquire into its birth and all that comes before and after, and it becomes clear that ‘whatever else one escapes, one cannot escape death’. What men take to be happiness are sorrows that appear in the guise of happiness. When, having known the truth, one practises manana on the defects of sense-objects, Vairāgya is gained and Jñāna is attained. So, Arjuna, become free of these defects of birth, death, old age, disease and sorrow,” He taught, with such Prema.
