This is Q of my 6 year old daughter- When I was dropping her off at school, she asked, “Mummy, if we cut the body with a knife, why doesn’t the soul die?” I replied, “Because it is written in the Gita that the soul is ageless and immortal.” Then she asked, “What is it about the soul that makes it impossible for it to die?”πŸŒŸπŸ•ŠοΈβ™ΎοΈπŸ€

Beautiful question. You can give her some examples of material things that cannot be killed or destroyed by knife, for example water, air, fire, space.

Once I attended a study circle & listened there from a speaker that Arjuna had the ego. During bishad yoga when he left his gandiva dhanu then Sri Krishna taught him about dharma… The speaker in the study circle told that Arjuna had the ego that Sri Krishna & everybody would consider him as the great yodhha. Without Arjuna to fight it is quite impossible. Is it true? Or he had the emotions towards his brothers (kouravas)?πŸΉβš”οΈπŸŽ―πŸŽπŸ›ž

Of course Arjuna had his ego as all the others. He was not a saint trying to merge in God. It is just that the

After that revelation whatever fadings of the light, whatever periods of darkness may afflict the soul, it can never irretrievably lose what it has once held. The experience is inevitably renewed and must become more frequent till it is constant; when and how soon depends on the devotion and persistence with which we insist on the path and besiege by our will or our love the hidden Deity.

My question is related to elite educational institutions like IIT. For students interested in Science and Maths (not biology), IIT admission is considered as highest aim for learning Engineering skills. However, as per the news and personal experiences, there is cut-throat competition, high suicide rate and heavy bombarding of distorted western values in these institutions. They do not impart any deeper sense, truth vision or higher values which can safeguard against fall. Students are made to study day and night to get into these institutions. Should any child of India really work extremely hard and aim for getting into such institution?πŸŽ“πŸ“šπŸ’πŸŽ’
