SPECIAL BHAGAVAD GITA DAY CELEBRATION SHARING: 17.12.

Bhagavad Gita
13.12. Let me explain That, which ought to be known, by knowing which one attains
immortality. That is the unoriginated supreme Absolute, which is described as neither cause
nor effect (in the way sense-bound objects of the experiential field are described: neither as
real nor unreal).

13.14. By Its presence, all the senses, their functions, objects and scope are revealed and
enabled to operate but It is devoid of all sensory instruments. It is the Supporting basis of all
manifestations but It is not attached or linked to anything. Indeed, It is beyond the conditions
and operations of physical and mental nature, but these constitute the objects for Its
experience or enjoyment.

13.15. That is within as well as without all manifestations. Though unmoving, It seems to be
moving. Owing to Its subtlety, It cannot be known like an object of experience. It is both far
off as well as nearby (The All-pervading Awareness).

13.16. That which has to be known is the Undivided Whole, which seems to dwell in all
entities as if divided into many. It is the source and supportive basis of all manifestations, and
also their finality or doom.

13.17. The Self-effulgent Light of Awareness, enlightening all objects including luminous
ones, is said to be beyond the contamination of darkness and ignorance. That is pure
knowing, which is worthy of knowing, and which is realised through direct knowing. The
Self-effulgent Awareness is established (or shines from) within the heart of all beings.

Bhagavad Gita.
8.3. Shri Krishna said: The Indestructible, Transcendental Aliveness or Basis is called the
Absolute Brahman, and Its own reflection within existence (at macrocosmic and microcosmic
levels) is called the Indwelling Self or Immanent Life. The action through which all objects,
events and entities are brought into living existence is called cosmic activity.

8.4. Physical nature of material form is mutable and perishable while the Immanent Cosmic
Being is the One animating the evolving universe: the cosmic form comprising individual
forms. I am verily the Supreme Enlightening Being or Awareness (underlying all worship and
spiritual realisation), dwelling in the body of all embodied beings.

8.8. O Arjuna! One who is attentive, with the mind consciously resting in the present,
integrated in meditative communion, without the tendency to stray away to some object (from
that integrated awareness) – such one attains the Supreme Transcendental Basis (animating
and underlying the whole of existence).
