Sri Swami Sivananda speaks on Message of Geeta
The Atma is not born nor does He ever die. He is unborn, eternal, changeless, ancient and inexhaustible. He is not killed when the body is killed. He slays not, nor is he slain. A Sthitaprajna or Jivanmukta is free from desires, longings, fears, mineness, Iness and attachment. He is satisfied in his own self. He is indifferent amidst sensual pleasures. He is not elated by getting desirable objects. He has a poised mind at all times and under all conditions. He is centred in his own self. Work incessantly without egoism and without expectation of fruits. Have a balanced mind in success and failure. You will not be bound by Karmas or actions. The senses move among senseobjects. Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping, breathing, speaking, sneezing, opening and closing the eyes are the functions or Dharmas of the organs only. In reality thou art the silent witness of the activities of the senses and the modifications of the mind. Prakriti or Svabhava does eve br, br,
