CHAPTER 15
1. Krishna says to Arjuna, ‘I have told this many times earlier but since this is so very important, I shall repeat it once more. I am not only the beginning and the end of everything but in fact everything!’
2. ‘I sent man to this world to yearn for Me and to Love Me. Instead, he has diluted and indeed even polluted My priceless gift of Divine Love into worldly desires. Instead of yearning for Me, he has developed yearning for worldly pleasures and all kinds of trivia not worth talking about.’
3. ‘Arjuna, take it from Me, if you pine for Me, you will for sure come to Me. Once you come to Me, you will always be with Me. Once you are with Me always, you would be eternally happy, naturally.’
4. ‘I am your Real Home, and it is from this Home you have gone out into the world. Should you not come back Home sometime? Do you want to keep putting that off? What for? What do you have in that transient world except misery, cleverly sugar-coated with occasional pleasures?’
5. Arjuna asks, ‘Krishna, You say that once man goes out into the world, he gets lost there. How exactly does this happen?’
6. Krishna replies, ‘I certainly shall explain and you must listen carefully. To start with, you must understand that man is a composite of three entities that are strikingly different. They are 1) the gross body, 2) the Mind which is a subtle entity, and 3) the Atma, which is super subtle! This three-in-one complex has a special name, the Jivatma, sometimes shortened to just Jiva. In short, you are a Jivatma.’
7. Arjuna asks, ‘Krishna , are You also a Jivatma?’
8. Krishna smiles and replies, ‘Of course not!’
9. A puzzled Arjuna then asks, ‘In that case, what are You?’
10. Krishna replies, ‘I am Paramatma or God in totality!’
11. Arjuna is surprised and says, ‘Krishna , that is strange! I can’t see any difference between You and Me. And yet You say that You are Paramatma while I am just a Jivatma. How come?’
