Kaivalya-Navanīta 19–22: Body & Soul
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 2020-05-12

19–20. Master: Son, he who has forgotten his true nature is alternately born and dies, turning round and round in the unceasing wheel of time, like a feather caught up in a whirlwind, until he realizes the true nature of the Self. If he comes to see the individual self and its substratum, the Overself, then he becomes the substratum, i.e., Brahman, and escapes rebirths. Should you know yourself, no harm will befall you. As you asked, I have told you this.

21. Disciple: Lord, can there be any in the world who are ignorant of the Self? How then are they all caught up in the cycle of births and deaths? Tell me the unerring Truth for I beseech you in full faith.

22. Master: Only he is Self-realized who knows what is the body and who is embodied.
