Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 2 - Contents of the Gītā Summarized >> << 2 - Resumo do Conteúdo do Gītā >> << VERSE 24 — VERSO 24 >> अच्छेद्यॊ ऽयम अदाह्यॊ ऽयम अक्लेद्यॊ ऽशॊष्य एव च नित्यः सर्वगतः सथाणुर अचलॊ ऽयं सनातनः acchedyo ’yam adāhyo ’yam akledyo ’śoṣya eva ca nityaḥ sarva-gataḥ sthāṇur acalo ’yaṁ sanātanaḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA acchedyaḥ unbreakable ayam this soul adāhyaḥ unable to be burned ayam this soul akledyaḥ insoluble aśoṣyaḥ not able to be dried eva certainly ca and nityaḥ everlasting sarva-gataḥ all-pervading sthāṇuḥ unchangeable acalaḥ immovable ayam this soul sanātanaḥ eternally the same TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. Esta alma individual é inquebrável e indissolúvel, e não pode ser queimada nem seca. Ela é permanente, está presente em toda a parte, é imutável, imóvel e eternamente a mesma. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO All these qualifications of the atomic soul definitely prove that the individual soul is eternally the atomic particle of the spirit whole, and he remains the same atom eternally, without change. The theory of monism is very difficult to apply in this case, because the individual soul is never expected to become one homogeneously. After liberation from material contamination, the atomic soul may prefer to remain as a spiritual spark in the effulgent rays of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but the intelligent souls enter into the spiritual planets to associate with the Personality of Godhead. The word sarva-gata (“all-pervading”) is significant because there is no doubt that living entities are all over God’s creation. They live on the land, in the water, in the air, within the earth and even within fire. The belief that they are sterilized in fire is not acceptable, because it is clearly stated here that the soul cannot be burned by fire. Therefore, there is no doubt that there are living entities also in the sun planet with suitable bodies to live there. If the sun globe is uninhabited, then the word sarva-gata – “living everywhere” – becomes meaningless. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
