A ‘Dhira’ is not bewildered by change of bodies
Change of body – “boyhood to youth to old-age to another body”
aThis verse proves that there is no cause of lamentation because:
Bhisma and Drona will get fresh bodies
Also being noble, they will get spiritual or at least heavenly bodies, which implies higher elevation is guaranteed
bDefinition of ‘Dhira’ — One who has perfect knowledge of the constitution of the soul, Supersoul and nature (Both material and spiritual)
Undisturbed by change of bodies (2.13)
Tolerates dualities (2.14)
Thus becomes eligible for liberation (2.15)
cRefutation of Mayavadi — Their theory of oneness of spirit soul cannot be entertained because
Spirit soul cannot be cut into pieces as fragmental portions
Spirit Soul as eternal fragments – They cannot be cut, if could be cut then that would make Supreme cleavable as against principle of Supreme Soul’s being unchangeable
Spirit Soul (Fallible) vs Krishna (Infallible) – Fragmental portions exist eternally (Sanatana) but are Ksara (Fallible – tendency to fall) (Bg. 15.16 – 15.18)
Spirit Soul never merges in the Supreme Soul – even after liberation spirit soul remains fragmental
Spirit soul vs Supersoul (Theory of Reflection) –
The theory of reflection can be applied to the Supersoul, who is present in each and every individual body and is known as the Paramatma
He is different from the individual living entity.
When the sky is reflected in water, the reflections represent both the sun and the moon and the stars also.
The stars can be compared to the living entities and the sun or the moon to the Supreme Lord.
The individual fragmental spirit soul is represented by Arjuna, and the Supreme Soul is the Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.
dSoul is never equal to Supersoul — Established by:
Theory of reflection (as explained above)
If they are equal-position of instructor and instructed, holds no value
Thus Lord Krishna is the ‘Supreme Personality of Godhead’ and Arjuna is the ‘living entity’ who is the forgotten soul deluded by Maya
