Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

What cannot be cut, burned, wetted, or dried is also eternal, all-pervading, stable, immovable, and everlasting—this is your true nature, ancient beyond time.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

That which pervades everything cannot be destroyed by anything—know this imperishable reality as the ground of all that exists.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Bodies end, but the one who dwells in them is eternal, indestructible, and beyond measure—therefore arise and fulfill your dharma without fear.

Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1-2

Two birds sit on the same tree (body). One bird (individual self) eats sweet and bitter fruits (karma). The other bird (witness consciousness) simply watches. Liberation comes when the lower bird realizes its true identity as the watching self, free from pleasure and pain.

Markandeya Purana, Chapters 16-36

Queen Madalasa, a Self-Realized soul, teaches her infant sons profound wisdom through lullabies: 'You are pure, awakened, spotless.' Her first three sons renounce the world. At her husband's request, she raises the fourth, Alarka, to be a righteous king.

Rama & Vasishtha

The mind has no independent existence—it is merely a bundle of thoughts appearing in pure consciousness. Through self-inquiry, the mind dissolves into its source, revealing the eternal Self.

Rama & Vasishtha

True immortality is not endless continuation of the body but recognition of oneself as the deathless awareness in which all cosmic cycles arise and dissolve. This recognition brings contentment beyond boredom, for every moment becomes fresh when there is no grasping ego.
