24. Nature of Awareness (Unthinkable, Unchanging, Unmanifest) – Bhagavad Gita, CH2, Verse 25

Chapter 2, Verse 25: The self (Atman) is described as avyakta (unmanifest), acintya (unthinkable), and avikara (unchanging). Unlike the subtle-body composed of five elements, Atman is untouched by elemental influences. It is the subject that objectifies everything, free from the six changes that affect the body-mind complex. Understanding self like this, eliminates basis for grief. Verse essence: The self is unmanifest, inconceivable, and immutable; therefore, knowing this, one should not grieve.See notes for this session at: https://www.yesvedanta.com/bg2/
