I Am Immortal.

#spirituality
"Srimad Bhagavad Gita" holds a very special place in my heart.

Infact it is the only book that I always keep beside my pillow.

Whenever in a distress, dilemma, I invariably turn to Lord Krishna's gospel.

Like bright sunshine, the श्लोक (stanzas) of "Srimad Bhagavad Gita" dissipate the gloomy clouds that envelope me.

In the following stanza, Lord gives the secret knowledge of soul to His disciple and friend, Arjuna :

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः।।

Weapons, fire, water and air are incapable of cleaving, burning, wetting and drying the soul or self.
The self is eternal.
It is stable, immovable and primeval.
In other words, it is unchanging, unshakable and ancient.

"Srimad Bhagavad Gita" has inspired many of my compositions, like the following one :

नादान हो तुम जो कहते हो कि मैं मर जाऊंगा
बहता दरिया हूँ साहब, समंदर में उतर जाऊंगा

You are naively thinking that I will die.

I am an uproaring, flowing river, my dear.

Only my contours will change, my dear.

I will commix with the Sea (The Supreme), become an inseparable part of It, my dear.
