2.6 STANDPOINT OF THE LAYMAN

(Slogas 26-30, 5 No.)

Post - 52.

================================================================

Slogam - 30: Finally, Do Not Grieve, O Arjuna!

1 

Dehee nityam avadhyah ayam  =  Ever  indestructible is the Indweller 

2

dehe sarvasya, Bhaaratah;  =  in the body of all beings, O Bharata; 

3 

tasmaat sarvaani bhootaani  =  therefore, for any creature, 

4

na tvam shochitum arhasi.  =  you have no reason to grieve! 

================================================================

1-2

 The essence of the teaching so far is summed up in these two Padas. This is the 

conclusion on the full topic of Grief, from both levels discussed – the Transcendental as well 

as the phenomenal (Paramarthic and the Vyavaharic). 

3-4

 Tasmaat: Once again we have the third tasmaat since the Lord began this topic 

in verse 11. This concludes the whole effort of the Lord to eradicate Arjuna’s grief. He has 

tried to get through to Arjuna in every possible way, presenting His arguments 

systematically and convincingly. We have seen what a fine Teacher He is.  

Overcoming Arjuna’s grief is only the first step in Sri Krishna’s plan of teaching. 

Whilst Arjuna remained in grief, nothing would have sunk into his mind. Having now rid him 

of his grief, the Lord can move on to answer all his arguments. This he does in the next eight 

slogas.
