Chapter 15 · Purushottama Yoga
Changing and Unchanging · Two Kinds of Being
Meaning
"There are two kinds of beings in this world, the perishable and the imperishable; the perishable is all beings, and the imperishable is called the unchanging."
Explanation
The Gita draws a clean line here between what constantly changes — every living form in this world — and what stays fixed beneath all that change. Knowing which one you're identifying with in any given moment makes a real difference.
Today's Life Lesson
When change unsettles you today, remember to find the part of you that stays steady beneath it — that's what you can lean on.
