A common space for harmonic peacemakers

II: 19

Chapter 2, Verse 19

"If some think they slay,

And if others think they are slain,

Then none of them know the ways of truth.

The eternal in humanity cannot kill.

The eternal in humanity cannot die."

Sri Krishna Prem:

"The Gita is not concerned with belief but with wisdom, and what Krishna transmits to Arjuna is a truth that gradually gains strength in his consciousness and in the consciousness of those who absorb this teaching. Forms and personalities come and go inevitably, but that which lies hidden within them all can neither come nor go for it for ever is."

Jamgon Kongtrul (Tibetan Buddhist):

“The primordial purity of the ground completely transcends words, concepts, and formulations.”

Swami Chidbhavananda:

“ ‘I am ruined,’ laments the man who loses his much loved fortune. Though he is different from his wealth, identification with it drives him on to this deluded response. The immortal Self remains unaffected by the ebbs and flows of life. As the sky is ever itself in the midst of clouds coming and going, the Self is changeless and eternal.”
