Powerful Cognition

When we understand that at higher dimensions, all that we see is destroyed and created continuously, we realize the futility of holding onto things, even our own body.

paras tasmāttu bhāvo'nyo ' vyakto' vyaktātsanātanaḥ yaḥ sa sarveṣu bhūteṣu naśyatsu na vinaśyati

Yet there is another nature, which is eternal and is beyond this manifest and unmanifest matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains the same.

When at a higher dimension, we realize that all that we see is destroyed and created continuously, only one thing is neither created nor destroyed and that is the Ultimate Consciousness'!

avyakto'kṣara ity uktas tamāhuḥ paramāṃ gatim yaṃ prāpya na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṃ mama

That Supreme abode is said to be unmanifest and is the indestructible and is the Supreme destination. When one gains this state one never comes back. That is My supreme abode.

puruṣaḥ sa paraḥ pārtha bhaktyā labhyas tv ananyayā yasyāntaḥ sthāni bhūtāni yena sarvam idaṃ tatam

O Pārtha (son of Prithā), the supreme person, who is greater than all, is attainable by undeviating devotion. Although He is present in His abode, He is all-pervading, and everything is situated within Him

The abode where one will not return to refers to the state of the being when it transcends joys and sorrow.

Introduction Kṛṣṇa explains how transient this material world is. During a single 'blink of Brahma'— the Lord of creation, so many things change. In our concept of time, we see things as permanent, but when we operate in a different zone of space and time, all this becomes temporary.

Our ignorance makes us think that all that we see is real and permanent. Once we understand that this entire life and the world around us is impermanent, we see everything from a completely different space. Why do we run behind material things? Why do we again and again want to possess things?

In our concept of time and space, we see material things as permanent. We think we can control them. We want to have ownership over everything that is available. And the problem is everyone wants the same thing! Everyone fights to take charge of the same thing. We are like cats fighting over a piece of bread.

Please listen, we fight to catch hold of this body. We want to hold onto this body for as long as we can. Even at sixty or seventy, many people go in for plastic surgery. They do things to look young. Why? They do not want to accept the truth that the body is impermanent.
