Om
What is real satyam about us never leaves us, at any time. It is always there ...in and thru waking, dream and deep sleep. Like heat never leaves fire ...heat is intrinsic to fire, so heat is the very nature of fire. Heat is not an attribute of fire, it is the very nature of fire ...it's svarupa.
When we entertain conclusions about ourself based on our body-mind-sense complex, or our interactions with the world, each of those conclusions are not the intrinsic truth about us..they are not our nature...they are attributes that come and go based on the condition of the body-mind-sense complex, the interactions with the world. They are not our REAL truth.
'I am young' will change to 'I am old' in time. It may be true of the body in waking state, yet in dream I may enjoy a completely different body. And in deep sleep, even this body is absent from my experience.
So how can I call this conclusion or any other conclusion about myself, based on the body-mind-sense complex I am associated with in this life as absolutely real?
In Bhagavad-Gita Lord Krishna is revealing my REAL nature, that which is true, that which persists, in and thru waking, in dream and deep sleep...that is eternally true.
Bhagavad-Gita is revealing that I am the all pervading, changeless EXISTENCE principle that is also the CONSCIOUSNESS principle that is self-evident, self-shining, independent, time-less, never known but ever the knower, actionless, never a doer, never the object of an action, never an enjoyer....this is my true nature. They are not temporary attributes based on the body-mind-complex or interactions with the world. They are my svabhava, my truth.
Om Tat Sat
