Verse 13·29

The eternal transcends all temporal existence

Verse

समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम् ।न हिनस्त्यात्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥

samaṃ paśyanhi sarvatra samavasthitamīśvaramna hinastyātmanātmānaṃ tato yāti parāṃ gatim

Perceiving the equal Lord as the spiritual inhabitant in all forces, in all things and in all beings, he does not injure himself (by casting his being into the hands of desire and passions), and thus he attains to the supreme status.

Gītā 13·29

As we perceive more and more this equal spirit in all things, we pass into that equality of the spirit; as we dwell more and more in this universal being, we become ourselves universal beings; as we grow more and more aware of this eternal, we put on our own eternity and are for ever. We identify ourselves with the eternity of the self and no longer with the limitation and distress of our mental and physical ignorance.
