Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 17

"Avyaktādīni bhūtāni vyaktamadhyāni bhārata
Avyaktanidhanānyeva tatra kā paridevanā"

Translation in English:

"That which pervades the entire body, know it to be indestructible. No one can cause the destruction of the imperishable soul."

Meaning in Hindi:

"जो सम्पूर्ण शरीर में व्याप्त है, उसे अविनाशी जानो। कोई भी अविनाशी आत्मा के नाश का कारण नहीं बना सकता।"

In this verse, Lord Krishna enlightens Arjuna about the nature of the soul, which is eternal and imperishable. He asserts that the soul pervades the entire body and is not subject to destruction. The physical body may disappear, but the soul remains intact. 

 



 
Lord Krishna addresses Arjuna as "Bharata", naming his lineage as a descendant of King Bharata. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the eternal nature of the soul and its difference from the perishable body. 


 This verse reminds Arjuna and all humans that the true essence of our existence is immortality in the  soul. 

 

It teaches us to detach  from the temporary nature of the physical world and focus on our eternal spiritual nature. Acknowledging the indestructibility of the soul helps us face life's challenges  with courage and calmness.

Jain philosophy is founded on three fundamental ideas; Ahimsa (non-violence), Anekantavada (non-absolutism) and Aparigraha (non- possession). This book provides an in-depth examination of these basic aspects of Jainism such as their meaning, practical implications and transformative value in guiding people towards moral behavior and spiritual development.

The Principle of Non-Violence:The principle of non-violence is described as being not merely the backbone but also the corner stone of Jain philosophy. It goes further than just refraining from physical injury; it encompasses all forms of harm that are inflicted upon sentient beings including psychological, emotional or environmental harm. Ahimsa demands that individuals should acquire compassion, empathy for others and respect for each form of life since all forms are interconnected with a common nature. Jains embrace Ahimsa to avoid causing any suffering if they can help it, to create peaceful relationships with others and maintain harmony in their interaction with the world around them.
