Jada Bharata Quotes from Bhagavad Purana
The real ‘I’ in me has absolutely no connection with this
so-called body of mine: and insults to this body or injustices heaped on this
body do not affect ‘me’ in the least.
The words are meaningless considering that ‘I’ am formless
and the qualification ‘big’ and ‘small,’ ‘lean’ and ‘fat’ do not apply to it.
These words are for describing the body, the home of the ‘Atman’ and ‘not the
Atman.’
Fatness or leanness, disease of the mind and the body,
hunger, thirst, fear, quarrelsomeness, desire, old age, sleep, lust, avarice,
pain: all these affect one who thinks that he has a body and not men who knows
the Truth about myself. This body is short-lived, limited, while ‘I’ am
endless, eternal.
